All the cute things your pet does -- Coddling a pet makes men suspect that your ideal companion is completely dependent upon you for food, lets you dress him up in colorful wool sweaters, and can be castrated if he starts acting too frisky.
Your belief in alternative medicine -- No matter how important you may feel it is to share your spiritual side, remember: When you tell us about your experiences with aromatherapy, reflexology, or crystals, all they hear is unstable, unstable, unstable.
How impressed you are with what others make -- You don't have to convince them that you're oblivious to material possessions. But ogling a man's paycheck -- theirs or somebody else's -- makes them feel like you're attaching our worth to their wallets. And they know there's always going to be someone out there with deeper pockets than ours.
How beautiful the scenery is -- When confronted by natural beauty, men prefer to contemplate it in silence. Women, for some reason, feel compelled to talk at just the moment when men most want quiet.
Who your favorite celebrities are dating -- As a rule of thumb, unless they're naked, they don't want to know. Men have far too hard a time keeping up with their own relationships; the last thing we want is the responsibility of keeping up with the lives of people we'll never meet.

Do you know anyone with really bad habits at the office?
Here's a list of bad work habits that can harm your career and how you can break them. If you're guilty of one (or more), it's time to get them under control.
Bad Habit: Missing deadlines. What you think: "If it's only a little late, it doesn't mean anything." What it really says: Your colleagues and boss can't count on you. What to do: Don't view deadlines as negotiable. Remind yourself that people are counting on you to do your job well, which includes completing tasks on time. Even if you just barely missed the deadline and everything turned out OK, you probably caused your teammates a lot of anxiety and extra work, which they won't forget.
Bad Habit: Dressing unprofessionally. What you think: "I'm the office free spirit with a quirky sense of style!" What it really says: You don't take the job seriously. What to do: You don't have to be a boring dresser to be professional, but you shouldn't look like you're about to go clubbing or strutting down a runway. Take a cue from your co-workers to see what's considered acceptable in the office.
Bad Habit: Not being punctual. What you think: "As long as I get all my work in, nobody cares." What it really says: You think your time is more important than everybody else's. What to do: Stick to the schedule. Everyone in your office would like to sleep in a little or leave early, but they don't because people rely on them to be on time.
Bad Habit: Checking your e-mail, playing games, shopping. What you think: "I'm discreet." What it really says: You're not doing your job. What to do: Keep the fun stuff to a minimum. Most employers don't mind if you check your e-mail every once in awhile or read your favorite blog for a few minutes in the morning. They begin to care when you minimize that game of Scrabulous every time they walk by your desk. You're being paid to work, not play.
Bad Habit: Gossiping. What you think: "I'm just saying what I heard." What it really says: You can't be trusted. What to do: Sure, everybody gossips a little here and there, but it shouldn't be your livelihood. Eventually you'll gain a reputation for not keeping anything confidential –whether it's a personal matter or work-related. Plus, your chattering could end up hurting somebody's feelings or reputation.
Bad Habit: Being negative. What you think: "Everybody complains." What it really says: You're the person to avoid. What to do: It's natural to grumble about work once in awhile. If you gripe and moan when you're asked to do anything, however, people will not only get annoyed, they'll wonder why you don't just quit. Keep in mind that work isn't always fun; keep the complaints to a minimum.
Bad Habit: Trying to be everybody's best friend. What you think: "I'm just sociable." What it really says: You don't know how to set boundaries. What to do: It's not uncommon for friendships to develop at work, but don't expect it to happen with everybody. Unless you have reason to do otherwise, treat your superiors, colleagues and subordinates like professionals, not like drinking buddies.
You can use your cell phone to program a new robotic lawn mower to cut your grass while you sit back and sip a cool one. At your preset command, the LawnBott LB3500 will zip out of its battery charging station and keep your lawn groomed and spiffy looking while you don't even break a sweat. All you need is a Bluetooth equipped cell phone to tell the mover how many times a week and for how long each time to do its thing. It can handle an acre on a single charge and a trip wire tacked around the perimeter of your yard prevents the device from straying onto your neighbor's property. The only drawback is the cost when the LawnBott goes on sale in a few months, it will set you back $3,249. (Sun)

According Forbes magazine, Vince Vaughn has topped a list of Hollywood stars giving studios the best returns on their investments. Forbes says it compiled the list by looking at a star's last three films that opened wide before January 1, 2008 and were made in the past five years -- and were not animated. The mag then took half of each film's box office income and added the first three months of wholesale DVD revenues, subtracted the budget, and used the star's gross income to work out payback.

And it even sped up deliveries. Says Laura James, UPS' industrial engineering manager: "It's a huge amount, and we also shave off over 30 million travel miles for our drivers." (National Examiner)

Some things I found out while you were still sleeping
People who have high IQs are less likely to believe in God than people of average and below average intelligence, according to Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ireland's University of Ulster. Lynn claims that the general decline in religious observance over the last century is directly related to a rise in average intelligence. The smarter we are the more likely we are to shun religious services. So what would Jesus say: "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." (Matthew 11:25)
