Book of Love

Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed ...

The Books of Love

 From Saturday's WaPost -

When a man in the UK was asked to be the best man at his friend's wedding, he was touched. So touched, that he promised not to pull any pranks before or during the wedding. After the wedding though, that's another story.

This man, who is choosing to stay anonymous, has set up  this Twitter account for the sole purpose of automatically tweeting when the newlyweds are having sex. I'm not kidding. Read the entire tweet stream from the bottom up if you want the full story. But basically, this guy was watching his friend's house while they went on their honeymoon and he placed a device under their mattress. This device, which is similar to the one found here, is a pressure-sensitive pad that tweets out when sexual activity starts, when it ends, the force of the "action," and a "frenzy" rating.

I had a boss who recounted doing the same thing, minus Twitter of course, 40 years ago. His actuated a porch light bulb.

My father's waggish pals rigged my parents' bed for their wedding night. They unhooked all the innersprings, one from the other! My father spent their wedding night patiently reattaching the various springs and cussing out his buddies. I was born 10 months and two days after their wedding so my pops was really, really good at hooking springs together!
