So, you can turn off your reflexes?

If that's what you call running from imminent danger, sure.

I saw motion in my peripherial
vision, and caught it without knowing what it was.

I wouldn't have, knowing I was in a work area. I don't play mumblety-peg,
either.

Not everyone runs away from danger.

I didn't know they had a soldering iron. The place sold CB radios to
truckers and i had never seen anything but a screw driver & drill on
their makeshift bench.

Some are suicidal, yes, and not everyone is stupid enough to catch a falling
soldering iron (of knife).

How would I have known it was a knife, when all I saw was a blur of
something falling in my perherprial vison?

You said you caught it, I certainly wouldn't have. If that's a troll, it's
yours.

....and you lunge for it. Nope, *not* a good plan.

Sigh....it's because of people like you that Usenet is dying. Why do you
have to make a 'one-up-man-ship' of everything. You have a reputation of
doing this on any news group you're involved in.

By the way, if I was interviewing the two of you for a job I'd be hiring
the other guy. He at least takes action and tries to help when something
happens instead of standing back doing nothing and criticizing others.

What lunge? I was standing near the bench and only had to reach for
an unknown object. I didn't know what it was. A man's normal refex is
to catch things, but a woman's is to pull away.

I haven't read any of the rest of this thread - but I dare say your assumption
is wrong that that is gender based. Most of the time something falls off a
bench in my house it's a knife, or in the wood-shop something that will
otherwise cause injury because of sharp edges. When I note something falling
off a bench I skip the other way so's not to get hit or cut or punctured.

It's entirely a question of how you have trained/programmed your reflexes.

f.w.i.w. -P.

As Huck Finn found.. "mind you, when a girl tries to catch anything in
her lap she throws her knees apart; she don't clap them together the
way you did when you catched the lump of lead".

At least back then dey dids.

OK, so that was funny. So, the girls used their dress as a trampoline.

Thanks, Mr. Twain.
