I like to have tools handy so for instance I have several pairs of scissors scattered around the house so we have a pair available, more or less, in each room. In the kitchen it is in a particular drawer, and similarly in the living room, etc.
However, when I come to try and find some scissors, I find that they are all in a large pencil box on a shelf in the dining room. My amazingly wonderful wife (no sarcasm, she really is) has watched a TV program on organising where they said keep all like items together - so she gathered all the carefully placed pairs of scissors and put them neatly, carefully and oh so well organised, in a single location (failing to mention this to me so I spend hours looking for scissors and wondering where they all went). This also makes her ask me, "Why do we need twelve pairs of scissors?".
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Apparently, I do with regard to moving things around.

Ditto. I once was asked to move the refrigerator to the other side of the kitchen. Mind you the refrigerator lives in a space specially designed so that it is out of the way but close to a counter top so you can take things out and work with them right there.
The other side of the room has no counters and the refrigerator will be sticking out into the room. I tried to tell her that but what do I know?
As you may imagine once I get the refrigerator to the other side of the room she says it is sticking out into the room too much. 
So I dutifully moved it back to the specifically built alcove where it has resided since we built the house 12 years ago. Me and the refrigerator were happy, but I think she eyes it from time to time and tries to figure out where to move it.

That's odd, because when Herself can't find something of hers she asks where I have put it...

Of course - rather than admit she can't remember where she put it, it's better to blame you for the disappearance...

How is that even funny? Its just pathetic. Completely lacking in humour, as well as of questionable taste.

Saturated fat 'ISN'T bad for your heart'[^]
The original study, I forget who by, eliminated two outliers in its data set in order to show a nice linear correlation between dietary fat and heart disease, and went on to form govt policy for decades. Of course as an idea it was simple, and acceptable, and thus swallowed all the more easily.
I wonder what other corrupted science with a simplistic message has gone on to form govt policy for decades....

I'm running an experiment right now where I don't avoid saturated fats and see if it kills me.
Will let you know in 50 - 70 years.
It's harder than you may think, almost every product these days is completely free of any nutritional value. Food these days is just cardboard, air, water and a mildly toxic artificial sweetener.
