Good morning and Happy Hump Day Phoenix! As we continue to count down for the mating of Mathias, enjoy some more trivia! (hope you aren't sick of it yet!)
The Catholic tradition of "posting the banns" to announce a marriage originated as a way to ensure the bride and groom were not related.
Much like the modern tradition of feeding wedding cake to one’s spouse, in ancient Rome, couples pledged their unity by sharing food. Today a Japanese bride and groom drink sake together, Jewish couples drink from the same cup of consecrated wine, and Muslim couples eat from the same piece of candy.
In Tibet, polyandry, or a woman with more than one husband, is not uncommon. For example, a herdsman will share his wife with his brothers and half-brothers.
Because eyebrows are considered intensely alluring in the Orient, historically the bride’s eyebrows were shaved entirely, rendering her powerless to attract a man.
Joke of the Day:
A girl invites her boyfriend over for dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl tells him that after dinner she wants to have sex with him for the first time.
The boy is ecstatic, but nervous because he's a virgin. He goes to the pharmacy to get some condoms. He tells the pharmacist his situation and asks for advice. The pharmacist tells him everything there is to know about sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks how many condoms he'd like to buy: a 3-pack or a 10-pack. The boy says he feels lucky and insists on the 10-pack.
That night, the boy shows up for dinner a little late. His girlfriend meets him at the door leads him straight to the dinner table where her parents are already seated. The boy sits down, quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still silent with his head down. Five minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 10 minutes, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boy, "I had no idea you were this religious."
The boy turns and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

Quote of the Day:
I didn't find out what happiness means until I got married... and then it was too late.

Great Place for a Getaway:
Road trip! Destination: Route 66 to Holbrook, Arizona’s Wigwam Village. This 1950 time capsule — and a landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places — is worth a visit. The 15 white tepees decorated with red, zigzag stripes each measure 21 feet wide at the base and 28 feet high and include a TV, air conditioner, bathroom, and shower. Bonus: Vintage cars parked around the grounds add to the retro vibe.
