i remember reading a while back that women are more skilled at 
multi-tasking than men and that this was proven scientifically. can 
anyone back this up?

wouldn't surprise me. for instance, while talking to someone on the 
phone, my g/f can simultaneously answer questions that i might throw 
her way. personally, i find the prospect of trying to put up with 
someone asking me questions while i'm speaking to someone else on the 
phone abhorrent.
