From the desk of Captain Obvious...

Men who do housework may get more sex

Wow...I just love the obvious conclusions for these "scientific" studies. :laugh2:

I've seen a million of these dumb studies. Let's see what you all can dig up. I need a laugh today. Our tax dollars paid for more than a few of them, so we at least deserve  a bit of entertainment for our money.

I do a lot of housework and I can definitively state their conclusions are a complete crock of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

This is probably just some women trying to motivate their lazy husbands into giving it a shot.

It works for me. The key is to keep it sporadic. If you do a lot of housework all the time you wife will just expect it.

I use a similar tactic with video games. Usually she has to ask me a few times to do something if I am tinkering or playing a game. Every once in a while if I know she is paying attention, I will jump straight up and quit whatever I am doing to do whatever she asks of me. That usually ends up in me getting raped.  ;D

Pamela Smock, a University of Michigan sociologist who also works with the council, said a persistent gender gap remains for what she called "invisible" household work — scheduling children's medical appointments, buying the gifts they take to birthday parties, arranging holiday gatherings, for example.


I'll take on more of that stuff the day I trust my wife to pay a bill, manage an account, or earn enough in a month to cover the mortgage payment nevermind anything else.  Maybe she can learn to check the air in her tires rather than drive on them with 12psi until I fix it - or better yet check her oil without me discovering it is running dangerously low.

Maybe the trick is to do it at someone else's house.  Doesn't work at mine.

Tried cooking dinner nude once.  Frying the bacon almost killed me.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

I like Tornados.  Ever tried them instead?

You made me think the words "dick cheese" in an appropriate context.

You, sir, are true and total scum.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data
make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still alive.

and believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
i feel fantastic and I'm still alive
while your dying ill be still alive
and when your dead i will be still alive
still alive
still alive
