The Vox Box

Guys: Take Heed

Alright gentleman. This one's for you. When you are married, DO NOT overly clean your house... or really just don't mess wit your wives things period. Here's why: A german woman divorced her husband because he cleaned too much. They were married for 15 years, and during that time the woman just dealt with her husband cleaning the house, rearranging the furniture, and so one. Apparently this was the final straw though:
"...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."

Uh... does the term 'Obsessive-Compulsive' come to mind for anyone else?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
