[Over at Chesterton and Friends](http://chestertonandfriends.blogspot.com/2007/08/summer-slow-down.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com), the editor of Gilbert Magazine, Sean Dailey, made the following observation about the metric system:

> The metric system was developed by French Enlightenment dullards and is tailor-made for athiests: none of the measurements are divisible by three.

> In the English system, on the other hand, many of the measurements are divisible by three: the number of feet in a mile, the number of inches in a foot, the difference between the temperatures for boiling and freezing (180). In other words, subtle reminders of the Holy Trinity.

Speaking of Dailey, he has started a Chesterton blog: [The Blue Boar](http://theblueboar.blogspot.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I think it's named after an inn. Most new blogs have a shelf life of three months. We'll see how Sean does.

Good news for Detroit fans like me: *The Sporting News* (perhaps the most reputable sports magazine out there; it makes *SI* look downright silly) says Detroit is the best sports city. [Link](http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=248801&ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

Yeah, I'm sure it was an accident: [A woman in New York is in a spot of bother with her husband after accidentally selling the ashes of his first wife for 58 cents at a garage sale](http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm%5F2452164.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

[Chart of presidential candidates' positions on various issues](http://flickr.com/photo%5Fzoom.gne?id=868063604&size=o&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It's obviously drafted with a leftwing bias, but it's pretty nifty anyway.

Anyone remember the Swing Wing toy? [Pretty funny retro commercial here](http://arbroath.blogspot.com/2007/08/1960s-commercial-for-swing-wing.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It's one minute long, but you'll get all the necessary information in the first ten seconds.

I'd like to get one and attach spikes to the end, just in case I ever find myself in a gay bar.

Hmmmm, [this](http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/8/7/nation/18516729&sec=nation&ref=thedailyeudemon.com) cuts against the grain of studies that show married men get more action than single men. Do we trust the Communist Dr. Love or studies done in the free market?

> About 80% of married men face erectile dysfunction five years into their marriage because of having a single sex partner, China Press reported yesterday.

> It quoted Singapore's Dr Yu Wei Siang, who is otherwise known as \[You Need My Love Baby, Oh So Bad\] Doctor Love, as saying that 50% of men faced the problem with their sex partner after being married for between three and five years and 80% of them after being married for five years.

I have no clue whether this is a legitimate complaint, but this writer says Barry Bonds is using another device to help break the HR record: [elbow armor](http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article%5Fdisplay.jsp?vnu%5Fcontent%5Fid=1003621797&ref=thedailyeudemon.com).
