Secrets to a Happy Marriage?

They are at it again. You know They. They are the people who study all things that don't really impact your daily life. This time They is the government, more accurately the CDC Yes, the same people who were on the ball for that whole swine flu thing . A new report tries to unlock the secrets to a happy marriage.

What did they tell us? Depends on who you ask. MSNBC says they headline is "Living together does lead to marriage." ABC News says "Moving In Together Before Wedding Can Decrease Chances of Having a Lasting Marriage."

I guess the bigger question is when did marriage become a disease? I mean why else would the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (I guess they left the P off their initials) spend tax money studying marriage.

Does E.T. Have a Soul?

The Catholic Church is looking to the stars. Yes, the same guys who got so upset with Galileo.

In a scene straight out of ABC's new show V, according to the Catholic News Service, the church is wondering what the discovery of extraterrestrial alien life would mean for the church. Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, is an astronomer and director of the Vatican Observatory. He says, "The questions of life's origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration."

The Church's views have come a long way since an Italian philosopher by the name of Giordano Bruno was

burned at the stakes for suggesting other worlds could be inhabited.
Rev. Funes says , "just as there is a multitude of creatures on Earth, there could be other beings, even intelligent ones, created by God. This does not contradict our faith, because we cannot put limits on God's creative freedom."
