Every couple has its quibbles, but can you guess what Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Prince William fight about most consistently? Believe it or not, it's Scrabble—yes, the tiled board game Scrabble. In a documentary that's set to air in the UK this Sunday, Olympic boser Anthony Ogogo tells the camera: "She [Katherine] told me that when William and her play Scrabble they don’t usually finish it because one of them slams it shut.” Competitive, those two!

The Wall Street Journal thinks that beards are popular because of the economy.Tina Gaudoin writes:

I blame the economy. That's an easy out. But from my front row seat at the financial crisis (The Wall Street Journal offices in New York), I witnessed an economy in free fall, taking with it the grooming habits of New York City males. In the space of a month, a city previously filled with energized, well-suited, clean-shaven men became a ghetto of sleep-deprived, scuff-shoed, wrinkle-suited, unshaven shadows shuffling through the streets in a haze of shock and disbelief.

Um, okay. Whatever you want to believe is fine. [WSJ]

Okay, I'm a total lemming and ordered Sheryl Sandberg's new must-read Lean In on Amazon.com yesterday (Prime, baby). She talks to the New York Timesthis weekabout how she prefers reading printed books over digital editions.

I probably shouldn’t admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books. (In “Lean In,” I also admit that I carry a notebook and pen around to keep track of my to-do list, which, at Facebook, is like carrying around a stone tablet and chisel.) I travel with an iPad, but at home I like holding a book open and being able to leaf through it, highlight with a real yellow pen and dog-ear important pages. After I finish a book, I’ll often look to see how many page corners are turned down as one gauge of how much I liked it. I also still read newspapers and magazines the old-fashioned way; I tried the Kindle app for the iPad on the elliptical, but when you get sweaty, you can’t turn the pages.

So there you have it luddites, you're not alone. [NY Times]
