Books have been written on this and Econ classes spend hours, but it’s a shockingly simple idea that I feel my good friend’s husband is the perfect example of. All guys know that girls . . . forgive me, but economists love generalization and simplification – run with me just a little bit. All guys know that [...] Another popular claim is that married men cheat more than married women. This might be true, but people don’t realize what this implies – mainly that unmarried women have more sex than unmarried men. If we start with the premise from Sexonomics 101, that men and women have the same number of sexual partners, than this [...] I’ve always enjoyed spirited conversations, and sex is often a topic. While much is subjective opinion, what drives me nuts is when people claim a blatantly incorrect assumption. The worst is, ‘men have more sexual partners than women’. It’s repeated by friends and journalists alike. Take this quote from England’s The Telegraph, (and repeated word [...] Tonight, at a party, I met a fellow North American, one who had just arrived on this little Island I’ve come to call home. To put it mildly, he was in a state of shock and abject horror at what his new life in England would have, and not have. The first out of his mouth was [...] I went to Stockholm, Sweden for a long weekend with friends. The trip was, in two words, incredible and expensive. The incredible bit was due to the great group of friends I was with and the fact that Stockholm is full of delicious restaurants, beautiful women, and is set on picturesque islands and peninsulas, separated by [...] I’ve gotten into interesting discussions with friends who claim that I’m a barbarian for wanting to kill defenseless animals – often as they eat a hamburger. The disconnect between food and nature is strong in our society. Personally, I’ve only gone hunting once, and ate what I shot, and until today I’ve always believed that [...] I had a problem with my online bank login tonight, so I called customer service at 10:15 pm on a Saturday night. They were there! And they answered! Ahhh, the pleasure of being in America. In just two days I go back to England, where, for example, if you want to buy something from a [...] I generally think of myself as a lucky, lucky guy. So I can’t really complain when odd things befall me, but they do make me laugh, and they also make my friends say, “Tell me when you are flying out of London, so I can NOT book a flight then.” Here’s a select personal history: In 2005, [...] I really don’t know what to make of this, but I’m glad it exists. People throw sticks into the water from the upstream side of the bridge, and cross the bridge to see the sticks come out the other side (just like Winnie the Pooh did). The World Championships is Sunday, in about 10 days [...] It’s easy to cast stones, having never produced a movie myself, but I felt there were some glaring mistakes in The Road that any half-witted director should have gotten right. Yes, I understand it’s metaphorical, but it wouldn’t hurt to get it right. A can of Coke would not retain it’s fizzyness over the years, certainly [...] |
