"Considering the prospect of marriage, Charles Darwin jotted down a list of pros and cons. Balanced against items like 'cannot read in the Evenings' and 'forced to visit relatives' were the supposed benefits of connubial bliss: 'Charms of music & female chit-chat' and 'Constant companion . . . who will feel interested in one, -- object to be beloved and played with. Better than a dog anyhow.'"
