How can you mend ...

In my never-ending quest to achieve the ultimate procrastination, I've discovered that Wikipedia has an entry on "broken heart."

The article (which is noted as being incomplete and perhaps in need of some scrubbing) offers philosophical views on broken hearts, a list of symptoms, and even describes treatment ("It is claimed that the only cure for a broken heart is time, or acceptance"). You'll be glad to know that it also includes citations from the Bible and Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals.

I don't know who you are, Mr. Moussaieff Masson, but as soon as I'm done reading Kevin Federline's autobiography, I'll be sure to pick up a copy of your book.
