Happy Birthday DR. Suess
Our hunky pilot Jake proposed to Vienna on last night's season finale of The Bachelor...
- Jake's family joined the lovebirds on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. His parents met with the two remaining bachelorettes and agreed that Tenley was the right girl for their boy.
- For their final date, Jake took Vienna to a sulfur spring for some mud wrestling and face-sucking. He took Tenley snorkeling and told her that their physical chemistry was lacking.
- At the final rose ceremony, Tenley arrived via helicopter to hear Jake tearfully tell her to hit the road. Jake then dropped to one knee and proposed to Vienna. She said yes.

Conventional wisdom says men are only after sex. And, researchers have shown that men's brains light up to the tune of 98 percent when thinking about sex.
But, a recent survey suggested that men have different priorities than everyone thinks.
They rated the following three priorities higher than anything else:
- being in good health
- a harmonious family life
- good relationship with partner/wife
Believe it or not, "a satisfying sex life" was ranked last -- tied with "a nice home."
It didn't matter if the guys were young or old, married or single. The top three answers were the same.
