Hiya,
Yes the line is supposed to be the surface of the liquid. Yet again, I saw
this on a TV science programme a few years ago, so I don't have any specific
references.
As to other male/female differences, I did put a link in a recent post to a
recent UK newspaper article about research which suggests girls have better
language skills at a very early age. Here's the link again, and it gives
the British-based researcher's names.
