Back when I used to work for CKS Partners (later USWeb/CKS and marchFIRST), I used to have a coworker we called Sondra-dot-com. Notable for being a fair hand with javascript, she was also an intense believer in The Rules, the bizarro-feminist manifesto on how to get a man and keep him.

How bizarro? Well, go to Sondra's site and play 'the rules' home game. (note: the site is down for renovation, so you can't see it. Suffice to say it's a version of javascripted 'date-roulette' where good things give you positive points and bad things give you negative, only the bad things far outweigh the good, meaning anyone who plays the game will invariably lose in a romantic Kobiyashi Maru that is probably the most realistic portion of the entire site).

Anyhow, I bring this up because of a story I read in SFGate this morning, mentioning that the author of "The Rules" and "The Rules of Marriage: Time-Tested Secrets for Making Your Marriage Work" has filed for divorce.

Looks like nobody has the real answers, or if they do, the real answers aren't entertaining enough to make it to the Washington Post's bestseller list...
