It uses the same format that qwantz does - the same image every time, different text. But it works so well! I'd post one here, but they're huge.
Anyway - very good.

diotina sent me this link last week, about perceptions of IQ across gender. Some nice quotes:
An analysis of some 30 studies by British researcher Adrian Furnham, a professor of psychology at University College London, shows that men and women are fairly equal overall in terms of IQ. But women, it seems, underestimate their own candlepower (and that of women in general), while men overestimate theirs.
Both sexes believe that their fathers are smarter than their mothers and grandfathers are more intelligent than their grandmothers.
[both] men and women think their sons are brighter than their daughters.
