[Informatics] Hypothesis: Dumb font usage makes writing more memorable.

[Mark]

Hypothesis: Deep male voices *affect* women because women remember *manly*
stuff.

Scroll down to #3 - *Deep Voices*.
It relates to why deep manly voices affect ladies'  - umm - memories and

Warning: women's 'nether regions' are mentioned.

Have fun with your research

Mark

Note: Thanks, but I am *not* interested in a feminist/gay/soprano argument.
