Today's Neural Spasm: Aspartame
Wouldn't it be funny if Aspartame (Neutrasweet) was found to cause retention of fat?

Athiest thought #3
To the more liberal minded: So what if the bible is 'inspired' by God? Have you ever listened to a CD of music 'inspired' by a movie? Did it, in any way, help you understand what the movie was like?
Athiest thought #2
Religion is like a drug, it makes the weak feel powerful. And just like a drug, in the vast majority of cases that power is little more than illusion.

Unusual Things Married Couples Fight Over #2
or
Before you were married, you never thought you would fight over this
#2 Bathroom clutter
Perhaps the modern metrosexual man is an exception to this but, in general men seem to be bathroom minimalists. The general necessities for bathroom going include toilet paper, hand soap, a toothbrush/toothpaste, a towel, shampoo and bath soap and shaving items. In an average-size bathroom these will take up almost no space, leaving an uncluttered bathroom and an, if not pleasant, at least not frustrating bathroom-going experience.
Women, on the other hand, seem to have an almost psychotic urge to fill whatever bathroom space exists. Regardless of the size of the bathroom, rest assured, it will be completely filled with...stuff. Once all the 'necessities' are moved in (and I have no idea what most of those 'necessities' are), if there is still visible open space, a woman will proceed to introduce all variety of small, colourful, often smelly and generally in the way, decorative objects. All of this has the result of turning a once simple room into a cluttered mess.
Is there any surprise men don't like to wash the bathroom? The shear volume of objects to move for completing the task is almost overwhelming.

Unusual Things Married Couples Fight Over #1

#1 Dirt
Yep, number 1 cause of marital disputes is dirt. Most men, even ones considering themselves to be clean and orderly, like myself, find they end up fighting with their wives about cleaning. Seems clean is never clean enough for most women. This is particularly problematic for me in those times that my professional wife stays home (such as during maternity leave).
Of course, man-to-man, the real issue here is not cleaning, but rather cleaning on demand. Which is to say that said area of house has to be cleaned when she wants. Two hours from now is not good enough. Five minutes from now is not good enough. And this evening, after you've finished your work and whatever else is infinitely more entertaining, is definitely not good enough.
As you may gather, I work from home which brings a whole new level to the issue. Some people, no matter how hard they try, are just unable to truly believe that working from home is working.
