The brain-scanning study suggests that when men see a cheater get a mild electric shock, they don't feel his pain much at all. In fact, they rather enjoy it.

In contrast, women's brains showed they do empathize with the cheater's pain and do not get a kick out it.

Hee. I might say that she asked for it - I mean, patently obviously she did. Or as in the old saying, she got what she wished for, all that and its consequences.

I fear that I have a major case of underdogitis, though. I do find it hard to laugh at most people in pain, including the fallen mighty or the fallen corrupt or the fallen supercilious - once they have fallen.
