LOVE!

I always like to go on msn.com and check out the little articles they have posted up and some are very interesting....the range from situations in the workplace to last minute cruise deals to why obama is hard for comics and to of course the topic EVERYONE wants to read about....LOVE! This article that i read today listed 25 interesting things about love and i mean it SAID it was interesting so i read it and picked the five i thought were the most intersting and here they are:
1. Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't.
2. The women of the Tiwi tribe in the South Pacific are married at birth.
3. The tradition of the diamond engagement ring comes from Archduke Maximillian of Austria who, in the 15th century, gave a diamond ring to his fiancée, Mary of Burgundy.
4. Every Valentine's Day, Verona, the Italian city where Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet took place, receives around 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet.
and 5. One in five long-term love relationships began with one or both partners being involved with others.......
Some of these surprised me but most of them were a given....like when two couples are in a relationship they tend to be happier (that was #25)...um duh! Isnt that the whole point? Oh well...at least msn.com was successful in giving me something somewhat interesting to read when im bored and bookless.
