Shocker! First Female Polygamist Revealed!

So Australia promotes itself with “Where the bloody hell are you?” and mini cinematic masterpieces by Baz Luhrmann. How do the “cool capitals” of Europe do it? With CoolCapitals.com, of course. The site highlights Amsterdamn, Antwerp, Valencia, Vienna and Zurich. Sounds boring, right?

Not really. The site is…um…cool. Nice navigation. Informative videos. Pretty pictures. And lots of deals. All good but what makes this offering from the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions really cool is the promotional video that gets one to the site.

Entitled “World’s First Female Polygamist” tells the story of Francine Fleiss, a woman who, for over a decade, fooled five men in five cities into believing each of them was the only man in her life. Of course, it all unravels docu-scandal style including cheeky interviews with the five husbands, stereotypical caricatures of archetypal men caught in…OMG…a web of lies!

The featured cities in the video tie nicely to the five cities that are part of CoolCapitals. The story is well crafted, well produced and does a great job keeping people interested in the story line long enough to experience the pay off.

University of Arizona researchers wired 79 people with a recorder sampling conversations every 12.5 minutes for four days and found the happiest had twice as many substantive conversations and a third as much small talk as the unhappiest, suggesting the discomfort was never a social deficit.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas
