Demolition Man Sex, Elvira Finds Own Sequel, Pregnant Lies, and Madonna, Decade-Confused

Do your thing, sexy beast.
1. A gathering of the top sex minds in San Francisco led to interesting discussions about the future of the industry that mainly centered on the technological and virtual, i.e. the potential of teledildonics, which is when people at two remote computers stimulate each other with electronic devices. As for sexbots, Pepper Schwartz, a sociology professor at the University of Washington, says, "Right now they are having trouble making robots that just sweep floors." To which, I present Roomba, the iRobot vacuum --see above. (Reuters)

2. Elvira is seeking to be immortal. Cassandra Peterson, ageless, is shopping around a reality tv show, which has her finding the Elvira to succeed her. Hijinks and hilarity to ensue, surely. (Backstage)

3. A Missourian couple who lied about having sextuplets and received gifts in the form of prezzies and money is now facing seven years in jail. Sarah Everson, 45, and husband Kris, 33, were found out when Sarah never got or looked pregnant and thus did not have babies.
Note to self: When sending out the press release, have pillow and babies ready. (AP)

4. Geoff Goodfellow is the arguable inventor of a $612.5 million idea he has yet received any credit for: the wireless email. Though he tinkered with the idea for a pager, was approached by a NTP (company that defends its patents for wireless email) representative, who had visited him to ensure any potential patent claims issues, and worked for NTP as a consultant, Goodfellow probably won't be seeing a dime that NTP received, not that he seems too upset about it. Goodfellow comments,
"You don't patent the obvious. The way you compete is to build something that is faster, better, cheaper. You don't lock your ideas up in a patent and rest on your laurels."
Okay, in the context of the article, he does not seem upset. (NYT)

5. It is rumored that Madonna will be entering grandly for her concert on a $10 million ball of blinding diamonds and crystals that is currently being constructed in a hangar in L.A. Also, one of her centerpieces might be a "disco-fied crucifix." I just wish she would decide on whether she wants to bring back the 70s or 80s. (Daily News)

6. Starting tonight, the LES restaurant Samba-LE will be offering free weekly dance lessons. Dancing starts at 6, drinking forever.
