QuoteAfter some statistical processing, the data showed that the men tended to fall in love about a month ahead of the women on average – possibly because the onus is on men to show commitment to attract a partner, the researchers suggest.

Men fall in love slightly more often than women do, according to the study, but are a little less committed. The women tended to spend more time obsessively thinking about their partner, and were slightly more romantically intense in their love.

QuoteThey discovered that while the mating strategies of the mice are flexible, they're also tied to consistent individual differences—what scientists call "personality traits." Some mice might just consistently roam and some might just defend nests.

Here's the twist: these behaviors don't need to be hardwired into DNA. Instead, they can emerge based on the male's circumstances—what evolutionary biologists call "making the best of a bad job." It's not that these males are born roamers or territorials—it's that they're adaptable.

The researchers also found that roaming males have relatively larger testes, suggesting they invest more in sperm production—perhaps to improve their chances in brief encounters.

QuoteThe 40-year-old woman went missing from her Madrid apartment on Feb. 2 after a man in a motorcycle helmet was seen entering her building and plastering spray paint over a security camera lens, prosecutors said.

The man, who the feds believe is Knezevich, then is seen wheeling out a suitcase. The victim's body has yet to be found.

The couple were married for 13 years but were bickering about millions of dollars in property during divorce proceedings.

QuoteAnother time, a hypnotized woman was told to wait by a phone to receive a call. The person on the other end would mention a code word in the course of a normal conversation, causing the woman to pass into an undetectable trance state.

The woman would then proceed to a location and plant an incendiary device hidden in a briefcase.

QuoteI can explain Religion in one paragraph now: When a strong human finds his True Will, he feels its Truth so strongly and his life becomes so powerful, that he is tempted into the false belief that he has discovered everyone's True Will. Then he becomes a Prophet, like Jesus, who was probably very impressive indeed, but still made the fundamental mistake of taking his True Will for everyone's.
That's all there's to it. If you are not fulfilled and joyful, you are not doing God's will. Revelation is personal.

QuoteThus, even on Catholicism being true, Hell seems *preferable* because then I at least get to *live* (properly understood as living *my way*) for *a while* as opposed to *not at all* by following Jesus instead of myself.

I myself don't really believe in "Evil", as a concept. I'm a fan of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals – There is Good, the abilty to reach your goals, and Bad, failing at being good. "Evil" is what the Bad call the Good when the latter do what the former dislike ;)

There is the phrase "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" – and when the weak resent the strong, they call them "evil". Then they call themselves "good" for not doing what the "evil" do, attacking, killing etc. Which, since they are weak, they can't do in the first place. So they're trying to turn their weakness into a illusory virtue. That's at least my quick interpretation of Nietzsche.
