    Wow. They had to run a survey to figure this out? I'd say addiction to conspicuous consumption leads directly to neurosis and misery.

    Armani > Gucci

    I only buy the colognes (I wear Mania)... I don't think that is bad?

    One word: Free Samples
    If I spent any less, I'd be taking money in.

    Did you look at the map?

    Happy Planet Map

    According to these guys, among the happiest places to be on earth are Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Colombia, and CUBA. I have yet to meet a happy Cuban who had to go back.

    Heck-fire, Haiti ranks 85/178, well ahead of, say, France at 129/178. I am no genius, but if you gotta act like they do in Haiti to be happy, I don't want to be happy.
