Total Trivia

I can't get this mental image out of my head after reading this post!

I had that mental image in my head for about 10 minutes and I snapped out of it.

A Vatican cleric has compiled evidence from confessionals to prioritise how the sexes struggle with the seven deadly sins and recently published his findings in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.

Personally I think the two lists for men and women are just about spot on...

Men...
1 - Lust
2 - Gluttony
3 - Sloth
4 - Anger
5 - Pride
6 - Envy
7 - Avarice

Women...
1 - Pride
2 - Envy
3 - Anger
4 - Lust
5 - Gluttony
6 - Avarice
7 - Sloth

For the most part I agree with the two lists.

Women average about five crying episodes per month versus one per month for men. Women usually have the type of tears that overflow and run down their cheeks, whereas men's eyes usually well up with tears but do not produce enough to roll down their faces.

On March 9, 2008 the Vatican newspaper published an interview with Bishop Gianfranco Girotti (head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, the Vatican body which oversees confessions and plenary indulgences), in which he listed seven modern social sins. These "social sins" include

• environmental pollution
• genetic manipulation
• obscene wealth
• infliction of poverty
• drug trafficking
• morally debatable experiments
• violation of the fundamental rights of human nature.

From my side of the fem angle I would place lust above anger, but then... I do get annoyed sometimes... good thing that procrastination is not one of the seven deadly sins

My crying episodes are three per month, and the tears still flowing down my cheeks.

For the most part the two lists are accurate, but would make a few changes from the male angle.

Men...
1 - Lust
2 - Pride
3 - Sloth
4 - Anger
5 - Envy
6 - Gluttony
7 - Avarice

Women...
1 - Pride
2 - Envy
3 - Anger
4 - Lust
5 - Gluttony
6 - Avarice
7 - Sloth

Abso-feckin-lutely!
