"The Science of Straying"

This article has an apparently interesting article that tries to explain why people cheat.

One key phrase they mentioned was 'fidelity in marriage'. Um, okay... 'Fidelity in marriage'? Try 'liquidity in marriage' instead. That ought to bring up not only a handful of interesting sites, but an advert for YaK Brand Massaging Intimate Love Fluid (note, to spare any company free publicity, or give the impression I put in a naughty acronym anywhere else, I put in a fictitious brand name in its place. If there's anything more disgusting than any liquid from a yak being spread on me or my purported wife, I don't want to know what it is.)

Strange how an article pertaining to infidelity has lead to this joke of a response by me. That's okay, it's a joke of an article. Fidelity is in the spirit as much as it is in action and is the ultimate test if you genuinely care about your "partner" or not.

If they gave surnames to hurricanes...

You've heard that hurricane "Ike" is threatening Texas with a sound beating.

Of course, hurricanes were originally given female names -- male names being added on to eliminate any sexist overtones.

But they forgot about surnames.

Which might be for the best.

A hurricane named "Ike Turner" might not go over well.

Or when we get to the "M"s, hurricane "Mike Tyson" really would cause a stir.

Or going back to the feminine nomenclature, I'll just cut to the chase: Hurricane "Lorena Bobbitt".

Yes, let's stick to single names only. And if this were 1989, Hurricane "Jackée" would still be too far away from "227"...

Pier 1 Imports?

There used to be a chain store called "Pier 1 Imports". Here you would find all sorts of knick-knacks; from fabrics to dinnerware to even picture frames and more. All imported.

Of course, back then "imported" was equated to something regal or special. Pricey too, because the stuff was said to be imported and therefore special.

These days, I think they changed their name. I think they're now called "Wal-Mart".
