I couldn’t resist with the title… A new study from the University of Sheffield, UK’s Dr Virpi Lummaa says that men over 60 from 140 countries that practice polygamy lived on average 12% longer than men from 49 mostly monogamous nations.

This is pretty cool. I’ve really got no idea who or what this site is, but there was an article published called “NxE’s Fifty Most Influential ‘Female’ Bloggers” and three of my friends, Cali Lewis, Liz Strauss and Lorelle VanFossen, were included.

14 Ways Geeks Can be Romantic
