Girls and Boys

Are there any differences between girls and boys apart from the obvious ones?
Well, a friend of mine who was a teacher for some time said there was a big difference: boys tended to think abstractly while girls thought practically.
How did she know this?
Well, one day she said, for fun, to her mixed class of eight year olds: "What is the length of a piece of string?"
The boys considered the problem.
A girl had an immediate answer. Holding her two hands up, palms facing each other, the distance between them being about 12 inches, she said excitedly: "Miss, this long."
