Michele Miller has been posting on intuition (starting here)

Thanks to our old friend the Corpus Callosum (See "Woman Does Not Live by Hormones Alone" 3/4/04), a woman has the advantage of being able to rapidly link and process information on both sides of the brain. With this “crossover” brainpower, she is pulling in all kinds of information from her surroundings. She is unconsciously accessing those file drawers of the right brain, tapping into emotional memories and feelings, sorting and looking for similarities and relationships to what she is presently encountering.

May I just put in a word for the male of the species: we can do intuition too you know...
