Great points. Read this post, instead of me having to talk about it with you:
Expert Blogs Mysteries of the Sexes Explained - The Secret Language of Men on Yahoo! Health: "The numbers say it all: In studies, women speak an average of 20,000 words a day. Men speak an average of 7,000. And we waste a lot of those words on meaningless chitchat with cabbies, talking sports with coworkers, and making small talk with the IT guy in the men's room."

NY Times points the finger at Mrs. Roberts:
OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today: "Manhattan's Malodorous Monday"
There was a rotten smell in the Big Apple yesterday, and the Associated Press reports it turns out to have come from the Garden State: The gas-like odor that hung over Manhattan's streets was gone Tuesday, but city officials were still trying to pinpoint its source--and eyeing New Jersey.
Charles Sturcken, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection, said Tuesday that his agency was pretty sure the source of the smell was along New Jersey's industrialized waterfront, just across the Hudson River from New York.
'The way we tracked the dispersion of the smell and the prevailing winds indicates that it came from New Jersey, somewhere near Secaucus,' Sturcken said.
The New York Times, however, believes it has pinpointed the source as a Mrs. Roberts: 'In Hoboken, the downtown police headquarters and several office buildings were briefly evacuated, according to Mayor David Roberts, who said he took an anxious call about the smell from his wife.'"

A Christmas thunderbolt for the arch-enemy of religion Review Times Online:
"Let Me start, though, by commenting on the sources you have marshalled for a work that attempts to embrace a vast scope of philosophy, religion, anthropology, and theology.
You have relied far too much on the nice but facile philosopher, Richard Swinburne of Oxford, for Christian theology. On Islam you cite one book, Ibn Warraq’s caustic Why I am not a Muslim. Nothing on Judaism, Confucius, Buddhism, Hinduism, or Sufism. Little or nothing, moreover, on your philosophical atheist antecedents since the 18th century. And in support of many amateurish generalisations on anthropology you have mainly resorted to that decaying old monument, Frazer’s Golden Bough.
It was no surprise to read Professor Terry Eagleton’s acidulous observation: “Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology.” "
