Bride and groom say “I __” There’s a place in heaven for our canine friends too » Q. For longevity in your love relationship, you and your partner would be well-advised to... a) have each other write down 25 times, “I will remain faithful” b) go out drinking together more often c) make love an extra time each week d) sit down together and write parallel essays recounting times you made love e) write parallel essays detailing a few memorable romantic moments. A. Best to choose e). New research is crediting love with a truly amazing power: the ability to resist temptation, says University of California- Los Angeles writer Meg Sullivan. UCLA researchers and the online relationship service eHarmony asked coeds to reflect on the love they felt for their boyfriends or girlfriends after being presented with photos of strangers from “Hot or Not.” They were specifically asked to write an essay recounting the time they felt most affection for their current partner or the time they felt the most physical desire. Those who reflected on their past affection were SIX TIMES LESS LIKE- LY than a control group and FOUR TIMES LESS LIKELY than those writing about physical desire to dwell on a highly attractive stranger. In fact, the affection-reflectors even had trouble recalling attractive aspects of the stranger. “It’s almost like love puts blinders on people,” says UCLA’s Martie Haselton. In other words, simply mentally reliving loving moments with a partner can help keep those moments coming ... a lovely idea! » Q. When you arrive at work one Monday morning, your boss asks you to talk into a computer microphone before starting on the job. What’s she want to know about you? patterns, says John Bohannon in Science magazine. A team of linguists at the University of Cincinnati recorded people giving directions after a good night’s sleep and after 34-58 hours of sleep deprivation. By analyzing phonetic features of their speech -- pauses and dropped syllables -- a computer was able to spot a pattern associated with drowsiness. Said University of Cambridge linguist Sarah Hawkins, “This is exciting work. It promises not only to help with practical applications such as detecting when machine operators like airline pilots are tired but also to give us greater insight into how speech is produced.” » Q. Are there dogs in heaven? Who might say so? A. Certainly any place where dogs were banned wouldn’t be worthy of the term “paradise,” says psychologist and dog-lover Stanley Coren in What Do Dogs Know?” Declared author Robert Louis Stevenson, “I tell you they will be there before any of us.” English writer George Eliot put it this way, “Shall we, because we walk on our hind feet and wag our tongues and not our tails, assume to ourselves the privilege of imperishability?” And when a child asked Martin Luther, founder of the Protestant church, whether her dog would be allowed in heaven, he gently patted the dog’s head and said, “Be comforted, little dog. Thou too in the resurrection shall have a tail of gold.” Coren himself had a dream shortly after the death of his old cairn terrier Flint, in which the dog was lying beside the gates of heaven when an angel came out and asked why he didn’t come in. In the telepathic speech common to celestial beings, Flint answered, “Can’t I just stay out here a while? You see, I’m waiting for A. Whether you’re alert enough to do your someone I miss very much. If I went in alone, work well. Just as a slumped posture and it wouldn’t be heaven for me.” Says Coren, bloodshot eyes are dead giveaways of ex- “I woke from that dream to find tears on my treme lack of sleep, so too are certain speech face.” »BY THE NUMBERS | SUDOKU EASY MEDIUM HARD HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.
