10% of couples have considered splitting up over this...
- His mother
- His snoring
- Her obsession with shoes
Answer: His snoring! (PLAY)
A survey found we fight about twice per week over all the (bad) noise made in bed. More than 20% lose two hours of sleep every night because of the noise.
Personal: As I got older, the snoring got worse. It got so bad that I started sleeping in the spare bedroom. Snoring can really tear apart your relationship. I went into a sleep clinic, and now wear a CPAP mask which has not only completely stopped the snoring, but has also allowed me to get much deeper and more restful sleep. Before the CPAP machine, I was only getting a few minutes of deep REM every night. I now get several hours. My wife now sleeps deeper than she has in the past 10 years. It's a miracle and something I highly recommend to dudes that are too stubborn to address their chainsaw snoring every night.

Joke of the Day
Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had a flat tire.
Much to their relief she smiled and said: "Well, you missed a test today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper."
Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down. Then she said: "First Question: Which tire was flat?"

Don't OD on Vitamins
U.S. Researchers, writing in the Journal of the National Cancer Insitute, are scared that we may be going overboard on supplements we think will prevent cancer and make us healthier. They say pills like folic acid, vitamin D and calcium do not reduce the risk of cancer.Worse -- Antioxidant pills such as beta carotene, and vitamins C and E "may even PROMOTE the disease."
They recommend taking it easy on the pills and instead eat healthy foods which includes a wide variety of fruit and veggies.
"For most healhty people therre should be no need to take suppliments."

Here's my rule. You catch ANYTHING in the stands, it goes to a kid. Hand it off to your kid. If you didn't bring a kid, it goes to the closest kid around you. If there isn't a kid around you, you keep it. Got it? I'm not even going to argue about this -- it's called "being a man". Live it.
That's It!

Pink is for girls, eh? Not in 1918! A 1918 editorial from Earnshaw's Infants' Department declared that pink was "a more decided and stronger color...more suitable for the boy; while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." That didn't change until the 40's. Also, dresses weren't just for little girls, but for little boys, too.
