I Sweat; Therefore I Am

I sweat more than almost anyone I know, so this news probably signifies that I'm almost the most-efficient laborer in the universe:
There may be an evolutionary reason why men sweat more easily than women, the study authors noted.

"Women generally have less body fluid than men and may become dehydrated more easily," Inoue said. "Therefore, the lower sweat loss in women may be an adaptation strategy that attaches importance to survival in a hot environment, while the higher sweat rate in men may be a strategy for greater efficiency of action or labor."
