The language of a marriage - The Boston Globe -
There’s a clichéd idea that what makes people stay in love is things like candlelight and flowers and sexy glances across crowded rooms. All that is lovely, and it helps. But so does our nerdy private language. The language of marriage is personal. It doesn’t translate, and it’s not transferable. Nobody reading this column is going to start mentioning serrated knives or waiting rooms. You have your own phrasebook, developed naturally, over time.

How Pornography Drugs & Changes Your Brain -

Little Evidence Jesus Died on a Cross, Says Swedish Scholar -
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Samuelsson’s thesis has caused something of an unheavenly row. While fellow theologians have complimented his highly detailed research, many critics in the blogosphere have claimed that he wants to undermine Christianity.

A web-based survey of North American English -
“They’re looking for participation from “anyone who has grown up speaking English in America or Canada”. All you need is an internet-connected computer with a microphone and a web browser that can run Flash. You participate by connecting to a Flash application that gives you prompts and records your responses.
They ask for basic demographic information, but participants are of course anonymous. This is a great idea, and I certainly encourage participation. Check it out!
If you’re an English speaker from outside North America, hang on, I expect that they (or others) will get to you soon.”
If it’s the beaches
If it’s the beaches’ sands you want
Then you will have them
If it’s the mountains’ bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it’s the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them
When we forget why we left here
The Avett Brothers, If It’s the Beaches
