"TIL inventor of the Murphy-Bed, William Lawrence Murphy (1856-1957), created his first hide-away bed as means to convert his one-room apartment into a parlour, specifically to host the company of his future wife. It was considered inappropriate at the time to for a woman to enter a man's bedroom."

#17 - nah, I don’t believe it. It’s far more complicated than that. My wife and I have very different interests and we love each other very much after 20 years.

Ebenezer, it's not about having *the same* interests, but being able to acknowledge and encourage the other persons interests even though you're not particularly interested in the subject yourself. I do agree that it is good to have some differences and do things without your partner as well.

#8 reverse osmosis systems were originally developed for military submarines so adding them to other military vessels shouldn't be a big surprise. saves a lot of weight, space and fuel if you don't have to lug around all the water you need for 1500 people.
