“A 14-year-old London lad of the 19th century was so obsessed with the young Queen Victoria he broke into her bedroom and stole her underwear, a historian says.
 
Jan Bondeson, a lecturer at Cardiff University in Wales, calls Edward Jones, well known to the police of his time as Boy Jones, as ’the first known celebrity stalker in history,’ The Sun reported. Bondeson said the story was kept under wraps as much as possible, but he was able to gather information for his book, ’Queen Victoria’s Stalker,’ from old newspaper stories.”

There is nothing new under the sun. Celebrity stalkers and panty-sniffing creeps isn’t a new phenomenon as this UPI article clearly illustrates. 
 
We treat celebs as demigods, and we consider their  every tweet as as a divine message, but a few cross the line and stalk their fave celebs. 
 
I’m surprised Jones wasn’t executed for stalking Queen Victoria, I hope the little creep was at least beaten to a bloody pulp.

Wife Divorces Her Man: Fed Up With Him Cleaning All The Time

“A German woman has divorced her husband because she was fed up with him cleaning all the time.

German media reported the wife got through 15 years of marriage putting up with the man’s penchant for doing household chores, tidying up and rearranging the furniture.

But she ran out of patience when he knocked down and rebuilt a wall at their home when it got dirty, Christian Kropp, court judge in the central town of Sondershausen, said on Thursday.”

Most women can only get their lazy husbands to take out the garbage and help clean the house by threatening to withhold sex. A guy is more comfortable holding a remote than a dish rag. A wife won’t take her man seriously in bed if he has a penchant for donning an apron and dusting the living room furniture. That’s what most of us lazy clods tell ourselves, as our better halves wash the dishes and do the laundry.  

Now we have proof that women really don’t respect dudes who do household chores. A German lady took the drastic action of divorcing her husband because he enjoyed doing household chores. Serves him right for betraying the brotherhood. I hope he enjoys keeping his small apartment clean, while his ex-wife lounges around in the comfortable but dirty house.

The moral of this story is clear: Men have evolved so that we can comfortably and easily hold a remote, nature never intended for us to push a broom or hold a dishrag.
