Even with fairly happy couples, the spouses uttered enough critical and hostile comments to negatively affect patient pain and function.

I like cheese… but eating a pizza with 112 may be too much!

A pizzeria, Crown Pizza in Waterford, Connecticut teamed with a WNBA basketball team to attempt a Guinness World Record by cooking up a pizza with 112 different cheeses.

The manager, Taso Vitsas, quickly realized that using so many cheeses would require a major sacrifice -- taste. He said, “"Once I got to 30-35 cheeses, I realized this is not going to be a good-tasting pizza."

The mixture of cheeses caused problems for more than just the taste of the pizza. He admitted, “Some of these blu cheeses and goat cheeses from across the world, they have a very unique smell,".

Vitsas said he attempted to sample the admittedly less-than-delicious pizza.

"I tried it. It wouldn't go down."
