LONDON (Reuters) -- As life goes, it doesn't get much better than for male Zeus bugs. The tiny water bugs that are common along Australia's east coast have an easy life. Their female partners provide free food, transport and unlimited sex whenever they want it.

There are plenty of deadbeat hippies out there that live the same lifestyle. Zeus is the king of the Greek gods. What I want to know is why scientists didn't name this bug after Kato Kaelin or Tom Arnold, instead?

"All the advantages in this relationship seem to fall to the male with no obvious advantage for the female, yet the female Zeus bug seems a willing partner in this one-sided affair," Mark Elgar of the University of Melbourne in Australia said.

Now that I think about it, how many women could say this about a few of their many relationships? I won't name any names, but I'd start with everyone I've ever dated I know quite a few.
