For example, why are women generally shorter than men? It's because the atmospheric pressure on Venus is 92 times heavier than on earth whilst on Mars the pressure is only 0.6. This effectively kept female average heights down whilst allowing men to sprout like trees. The Babylonians believed this squashing effect is what leads to women swelling in the hips and buttock region in later years. Conversely, due to the rarified atmosphere on Mars males had to put on extra ballast in the stomach region to ensure they were safely grounded.
In terms of climate Venus is Isothermal meaning it has a constant surface temperature, day or night and throughout all the seasons. Being as it's close to the sun this means is hot all the time. This is highlighted as the reason why women have a very low tolerance to temperature changes and are often cold. Mars on the other hand has huge temperature changes due to its distance from the sun and its elliptical orbit. Hence males are impervious to changes in heat and explains their incredulous disbelief when women say they are cold all the time. This also explains why men are hairier than woman as they required additional covering to prevent heat loss. There is no rainfall whatsoever on Venus which is said to account for women's intolerance to precipitation of any kind.
Another interesting variation is caused by the different day lengths of the planets. A Mars day is approximately the same length as an Earth day. However, Venus spins so slowly (approximately 6.5 kilometres per hour) that one day takes 243 earth days. This has caused confusion over night and day among the female species and causes them to fall asleep at random times such as watching a DVD or to get up ridiculously early in the morning.
Venus has a high sulphur content and clouds of sulphuric acid plague the surface. The Babylonians pointed towards this as the reason women from ancient times could be so scolding and acerbic. Sulphur has also been recently linked to memory which may explain why women can remember things long forgotten by their male counterparts. Another interesting and telling fact is that there seems to be an unusually high methane content on Mars. It's generally considered that men are much more flatulent than women so could this stand as evidence? Man's obsession with size has often been remarked on but this concern doesn't seem to afflict the female population. However, Mars is about half the size of Venus and It's suggested that this fact has caused feelings of inferiority leading to a need to compensate, it's possible.
Over the years since the Babylonians made their initial observations the differences between the sexes have become less marked. Hairy, flatulent women are not uncommon and neither are temperature intolerant men who whinge about the rain playing havoc with their hair. Archdeacon Ridcully's conclusion is that both races found themselves on Earth although it's not clear if it was via space travel or a divine hand. He believes that by lucky fortune they discovered their reproductive organs were compatible and a new race was born, much in the way of a labradoodle. It's surmised that both races left their parent planets to set up home on a much prettier and more pleasant planet where you could hang curtains without them being eaten by acid and chop down trees or hunt animals in a manly way.
The truth has been lost in the mists of time. Modern scientists would tell you that the Babylonian papyrus is bunkum and probably an elaborate forgery but they have failed to come up with an adequate answer to these mysteries. Is the Archdeacon onto something? I think so.
