“”[Schwarzenegger] tweeted frequently during his travels to such faraway places as Brazil, Nigeria and France. Shriver was not mentioned in his Twitter updates from the road.
Shriver, also active on social networks, posted three updates on her Twitter page on the day of their 25th wedding anniversary on April 26, but did not mention the milestone.
About a month before the wedding anniversary, Shriver wrote on her Facebook page that she was going through a transition in her life.
That’s from the NY Post, discussing the recent split of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. It’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone in using Facebook and Twitter to dissect the actions and relationships of my friends.

“ Instead of [the restaurant owner] getting killed, he’d have to pay a tax. It was basically a penalty.”
That’s alleged mobster Salvator Volpe, describing the tax one unidentified Staten Island restaurant owner paid the Bonanno crime family in lieu of getting killed. And what did this guy do to deserve this no-death penalty? He impregnated the wife of Vincent “Vinny Gorgeous” Basciano, who was then nearly tricked into thinking the baby was his own. Not that Vinny Gorgeous is a real class act—transcripts of his tapped conversations with another mob guy in jail were released last week, and VG was talking about his mistress (and the baby he had with that mistress) like it wasn’t even a thing. But that’s love for you. Nobody gets out alive unless they pay.

Think God Is Nice Guy? You’re More Likely To Cheat On A Test.
Or so says the latest study from the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion. The researchers had test subjects answer math questions on a computer, letting them know that the answers to the questions would appear in a few moments if they didn’t press the space bar when finished. The temptation to find out the answer to a question was greater, they found, in people who believed in a forgiving God. I mean, it’s His job to let a couple slide every so often, right? Those who say they didn’t believe in God at all were found—on this particular set of tests—less likely to cheat. And with that, the veil is lifted off my my years of Catholic school education. Just in time for Easter.

Your Job Might Be Killing You. Reading this at work, still, even though you got in at 8? Check your heart. Jen Doll wrote about a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine ”looked at 7,095 British civil servant workers who worked 11 or more hours daily. They were 67 percent more like to develop coronary heart disease than those slackers who worked a mere seven or eight hours a day.” Show this to your boss and then leave early, ok?
