Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed To Tweet During Sex 272

When an UK man was asked to be the best man at a friend's wedding he agreed that he would not pull any pranks before or during the ceremony. Now the groom wishes he had extended the agreement to after the blessed occasion as well. The best man snuck into the newlyweds' house while they were away on their honeymoon and placed a pressure-sensitive device under their mattress. The device now automatically tweets when the couple have sex. The updates include the length of activity and how vigorous the act was on a scale of 1-10.

The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza 282

iamapizza writes "New Scientist reports on the quest of two math boffins for the perfect way to slice a pizza. It's an interesting and in-depth article; 'The problem that bothered them was this. Suppose the harried waiter cuts the pizza off-center, but with all the edge-to-edge cuts crossing at a single point, and with the same angle between adjacent cuts. The off-center cuts mean the slices will not all be the same size, so if two people take turns to take neighboring slices, will they get equal shares by the time they have gone right round the pizza — and if not, who will get more?' This is useful, of course, if you're familiar with the concept of 'sharing' a pizza."

The FDCPA has provisions that allow people who are being harassed by debt collectors to recover legal and court fees. If it didn't the law would be utterly worthless since the people being harassed don't have any money in the first place, thus the defaulted bills. There are plenty of law firms out there specializing in suing debt collectors who are harassing people. These law firms will gladly listen to anyone who has a complaint, and if it violates the standards of the FDCPA, the firm will take the case at no charge to the Plaintiff. She could also send Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion letters demanding they investigate the false reports. If they fail to do so within 30 days, she can sue them under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
