I heard the latest offering from the Dept of Spurious Research on the radio this morning.  The newsreader announced that scientists have discovered that people whose names begin with the letter A live, on average, 10 years longer than those whose name begins with the letter D.  Tell me, how does THAT work?!?

Footnote:  Husband has since decided to change his name to Aaron A. Aardvark.  I, on the other hand, wish to be adressed as Dithster Dith-Dith DeParry from now on.
