    A search did not reveal this posted anywhere. Had heard this before but I'd never try to bail out of a relationship because of it.

    There's on item on the Post's blog about the Capitals that talks about a picture of the former Guv being shown on the screen when a player was called for hooking. Pretty funny.
    Of course, the writer insulted his audience by saying he wasn't sure how many in the stands got it but it led to some laughter in the press box.
    They probably got it. Not all of them are dumb asses.

    My guess is pretty much everyone over the age of 13 would get that.....

    This is how fried my brain is: I saw this headline and thought: "Spitzer banged Jessica Alba? That S.O.B.!"

    So, when are Eliot and Hef going to start hanging out?
     
  8. Yeah, that'll work.

    It's an interesting article. Is monogamy innate in humans, or is it learned behavior? Are we fighting our biological urges or are we fighting our psychological urges?

    I, for one, am fighting every urge I have to sleep with Elliot Spitzer.
     
  11. Be strong, Ragu.
    Seriously, though, isn't "we are not meant to monogamous" right up there with "men have needs" and "I was drunk, honey" as no-hope alibis for adlutery?

    I dunno, Fen. If they could produce some solid evidence showing there's a male genetic predisposition to cheat, I'm snatching that baby up and having it laminated as my "Get out of jail free" card.
