Puttanesca:$ @* B7 @( h) w2 E" {, X
The name originated in Naples after the local prostitutes, Pasta alla Puttanesca meaning "Pasta in the way a whore would make it". The reason why the dish gained such a name is debated. One possibility is that the name is a reference to the sauce's hot, spicy flavour and smell. Another is that the dish was offered to prospective customers at a low price to entice them into a house of ill repute. According to chef Jeff Smith of the Frugal Gourmet, its name came from the fact that it was a quick, cheap meal that prostitutes could prepare between customers.

Steford wives:, {# t, L8 j8 J1 t: N
The premise involves the male inhabitants of the fictional town of Stepford, Connecticut, who all have eager-to-please, overly-submissive, and impossibly beautiful wives. The protagonist is Joanna Eberhart, a new arrival to Stepford from New York City with her husband and children, eager to start a new life. As time goes on, she becomes increasingly puzzled by the zombie-like Stepford wives, especially when she begins to see her once independent-minded friends turn into mindless, docile housewives overnight.& }8 s4 [+ E N2 _3 \
By the end of the story, Joanna becomes convinced the wives of Stepford are actually look-alike gynoids. She visits the library and reads up on the pasts of the husbands of Stepford, finding out that they were brilliant engineers and scientists, capable of creating such life-like robots.
2 M7 a. H) ?* R- K3 qAt the end of the story, Joanna attempts to flee the town of Stepford as well as warn her new friend Ruthanne, the mother of the the first black family to move into the town. The men find her and try to convince her that she's mistaken. They take her to her former best friend Bobbie Markowitz, telling her that Bobbie will cut herself and bleed, proving herself to be human. Joanne enters the house to hear loud rock and roll music playing upstairs and sees Bobbie taking a large knife, and realizes that the men told Bobbie to kill her and use the music to cover her screams.! ^, b3 L/ H; O' I7 ?: S% l5 q' l
In the story's epilogue, Joanna has become another Stepford wife shopping in the local supermarket, while Ruthanne appears to be on track to become the conspiracy's next victim.
