Shameless rip off from another web-site. I felt the effects of this disorder very keenly last night. I was trying to sleep off the weariness brought on by a 14 hour car ride while my wife left the TV on, and I could not look away from the TV at all!
Male Television Disorder
I'm of the opinion that males are genetically predisposed to watching for moving objects. You can make the Darwinian argument that the hunter gatherers would have needed excellent senses for tracking game. Unfortunately, most of us guys don't exercise those senses on a daily basis (unless you count that morning commute), but we're still saddled with the genetic need. So, we watch television - all those little moving objects just capture our attention, nearly regardless of what's on the tube. How many of you wives have caught your man just standing agape in the middle of the room, gazing helplessly at the television, which at the time is likely broadcasting reruns of the plumbing channel? I've named this phenomenon the "Male Television Disorder", or MTD for short. You can use it now as an excuse for when your wife / mother / girlfriend catches you watching the tube when you're supposed to be mowing the lawn or fixing something. I'm thinking about applying for disability benefits if I can gather enough support.

I rise from the ashes of the dead blog that I never found the time to fully resuscitate and bring back to life....
I finally found the time to resurrect my blog. It now features an all-new Movabletpe4 back-end. While this is how it is out-of-the-box, I will continue to work on it to fine-tune it as I see fit over the next few weeks.
