MUST-READ: You won't believe what this guy did!

Jasper Fiorenza, 24, was arrested after the owner of the home he was trying to burglarize in Florida caught him in the act.

When the victim awoke to find Fiorenza standing at the foot of her bed, she yelled for him to get out of her house, but he didn’t run.

Instead, he crouched at the end of her bed and pet her cat!

The victim again yelled at Fiorenza to get out of her house. He stood up, said “Hey” and started to amble out of her house.

Undercover detectives followed Fiorenza as he went back to the victim’s property on Wednesday, when he was arrested. Detectives identified Fiorenza by a fingerprint on the victim’s bedroom door. He told police that he “must have been drunk."

He was arrested and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and resisting arrest without violence.

As a condition of his bond, the judge required that Fiorenza refrain from contacting the victim and wear a GPS tracking device.

I'm glad the lady who spotted the intrepid thief in her home didn't get hurt, and that authorities were able to arrest him so quickly. Finding a stranger in one's home is scary enough to give a person a heart attack, but luckily the woman chose to act decisively rather than shriek in terror.

It's hard to believe that the guy had the audacity to return to the lady's home. He must not have felt intimidated by her in the slightest and probably assumed he'd continue to get away with it.

That he would pet the woman's cat with no hesitation after being ordered to leave provides a funny twist. Perhaps the man is a cat lover and he couldn't resist. I can only imagine what was running through the victim's mind at that moment; she probably assumed he'd hurt the fur ball.

Police haven't provided any clues as to Fiorenza's motive, but I hope it prompted the victim to increase her home's security, whether by adding extra locks or installing a security system. I also hope Fiorenza learned a lesson from this: If you try breaking into someone else's property, prepared to face the consequences!

What do you think of this story -- especially the fact that a thief would stop to pet a cat in the midst of a robbery attempt?

Women vs. Men: Who likes to backstab more?

Whether it's on TV or in the workplace, the general consensus seems to be that women gossip, backstab, and stir up more conflict than men do. But, as with every other topic, I thought it only fair to put this so-called stereotype under the microscope. If you watch reality shows like Celebrity Apprentice, you'll notice it's the women who spend far more time bickering. While the men do at times become embroiled in tit for tat, it's the women who are portrayed as meaner and more hostile. In the workplace, I have noticed that women seem to gossip far more than their male counterparts. I haven't really seen any cases where a person blatantly backstabs the other, but I have caught both men and women in little white lies. If it is true that women are generally more into backstabbing and gossiping than men, why is this the case? I believe that it isn't fair to make a blanket statement like "all women play these games while all men keep to themselves and pre...

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

Men prefer to marry brunettes

Study after study shows that men prefer blondes as girlfriends or mistresses and brunettes as wives . It seems many men see brunettes as more trustworthy and loyal. What's more, even though participants claimed that blondes are better in bed, they feel brunettes are better kissers and more affectionate than blondes. I find these results to be rather interesting. In my high school and early college days, I actually had a preference for blondes myself -- that is, until I hooked up with my now-wife. From that point on, I deemed brunettes as more attractive and marriage material, probably because they reminded me of and more closely resembled her. I think we can blame Hollywood, shows like Baywatch, and Playboy for painting blondes as wild, big chested, promiscuous and loose. (Yes, I know that there are brunettes in Playboy, but they seem to be in the minority.) When someone tells a man to think of an attractive blonde, who do you think likely crosses his mind? More likely than...
