    How funny. I'm making up a study that says the exact opposite. That women are less likely to cheat if they are chained to the kitchen sink.

    A poll of 10,000 females chained to sinks found that the women who did all the home duties were entirely unlikely to cheat.

    A similar study I didn't do last year found that excluding men from a local city almost completely eliminated domestic abuse of women.

    We need to continue with this well reasoned science, like asking cheating women reasoning for their cheating. Because all of this science is the same type that accurately predicts political election results.

    FYI - post-hoc statistics is bogus. Asking why someone did something provides them the opportunity to rationalise decisions that may have been non-rationally made in the first place. It's called Junk Science. It's putting a poll on a website with a specific ideology - the responses you get are necessarily skewed. It could well be possible that men to do no housework leave the woman so busy she doesn't have time to cheat, meaning the argument made is wrong. You would have to randomly sample all women, accurately measure both household work and cheating to create "real" science.

    Julie Julie Julie you are so naive speaking through your rose coloured glasses God bless you.

    People cheat because they are bored with the status quo and all of it's challenges + it feels very very good :D the forbidden fruit.

    I get your point - but are they just lies - and not useless trivial FACTS ;)

    Maybe a thread could be opened titled - blatant lies trying to influence the ignorant :D

    Just saying :)

    Maybe people should only post trivial facts then, instead of ridiculous survey results... :rolleyes:

    The Australian Emu holds the land speed record for birds at 31 mph.

    New Zealand used to have a Bird of Prey so big there are Maori stories of children being taken by them. It's thought they died out after they main prey - presumably when the Moa - died out.... or maybe eating children wasn't good for their long term health.

    DO NOT LAUGH - Emus are vicious B*stards. Especially a male with a brood of chicks.

    The only thing scarier is a Cassowary, head down charging you. No outrunning it - just hide behind or climb a tree!

    The largest eyeball of any animal is a Squid (giant squid).

    The squid, like the octopus, has a doughnut shaped brain that forms a ring around it's stomach - which limits the bites size that it can eat at any one time.

    Useless fact 894 - frequency of posting on forums is is negatively proportional lack of working.... which ironically means you should be stacking less.
