Psychiatrix interpretation of common standards:

8 glasses (of water) a day - Not based on any scientific evidence--why not 7 or 9...what about your size.

3 meals a day - A concession to the modern workplace. Six meals a day (or five or seven) probably maintains better blood glucose levels.

8-1/2" by 11" paper - Why that extra 1/2".

26 oz. wine bottle - Too much for an abstemious couple to share and still drive home safely.

4 years of college - 2 years would more than suffice, if we eliminate drugs and alcohol, and long-winded professors.

40 hour work week - 40 has biblical roots - e.g. forty years in the desert, forty days of rain, forty lashes. (Curiously, these were all punishments!)

2-day weekend - One day to play and one day to pray?

"Qwerty" keyboard - Invented by orthopedic surgeons(?). It leads to carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries.
