Optometrists in for the long haul
Statistically speaking, a non-smoking optometrist who has sons is less likely to divorce. One partner smoking causes more discontent than differences over religion and are 76-95 per cent more likely to get divorced. Couples who both smoke are 53 per cent more likely than non-smoking couples to end their marriage. Optometrists, clergy and farmers have the lowest divorce rates (around 4 per cent) while massage therapists and mathematicians have the highest. Couples with sons are less likely to call it quits. A study of over 3 million couples found that having even one daughter increases a couple's chances of divorce, while having sons lessens them. "One theory is that men are more invested in raising sons and are therefore more likely to stick around." Source: Mental Floss.
Marmageddon on toast
Among the Marmite scalpers on Trade Me was someone selling it on toast, says Mike. It reads: "I smeared a bunch of it on a nice fresh piece of Tip Top super soft white toast bread ... Toaster was a $16 Zip from Briscoes, set on 4.5/6, gives a nice golden toast with even colouring. Also comes with butter under the Marmite [Pams pure butter]." Another has put up half a jar of a "rare" mammoth-sized jar of Marmite with a buy now of $1200. "This beautiful specimen was best before 30/11/06 - but it's still good!". Some are Trevor Mallard-ing it for profit. One seller says: "Why not try and make a buck or two? I have 3x175g jars for a home or cafe needing to ensure breakfast continuity through the Marmite famine of 2012."
