Few wives understand that it isn’t that we see the coffee cup and choose not to rinse it or put it in the dishwater, but rather that the neural link between our eyeballs and brains actually keeps us from seeing the cup. Researchers say the gender biology of why we don’t see the cup comes down to this: They have a lot of other things on our minds… That doesn’t mean men are off the hook. Additional research shows just doing one extra chore a day, even something small and quick like folding a basket of laundry, works wonders in a woman’s mind.
- Not a kid in car. A car was parked outside a hospital in England. Two officers on patrol happened to look in the car and thought they saw a baby inside — alone.

When the owners of the car returned to their vehicle they found the back window broken with a note to call police, who said they would pay for the window.
