Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

Gay people have a "sixth sense," which allows them to identify other homosexuals.

Dutch researchers at Leiden University had homosexual and heterosexual men and women look at a large square, which was filled with smaller rectangles. When asked what shape was inside the square, the heterosexuals were quicker to answer, but more likely to incorrectly identify the smaller shapes as squares. The homosexual participants took a little bit longer to answer, but rarely misidentified the smaller shape.

According to the researchers, this is the first scientific proof that gay people have a different, more deliberate perceptual style -- a "gaydar," which allows them to quickly notice the small details that would help to identify another homosexual.

Of course, this week any gay man looking for a similarly oriented companion could give his highly tuned gaydar a rest. They just have to approach any fellow who exits the new "Sex and the City" movie without a female escort.
