This Man Will Do Anything You Tweet Him
David Perez must be one trusting guy. Because for the next six days, he's agreed to do anything you want him to do, as long as you tell him to do it over Twitter.

Breaking the law is out, he said. And maybe nothing that will make his mom wince too hard. But everything else sent to his Twitter account, @DavidOnDemand, the 29-year-old Chicagoan said, is fair game.

"There will definitely be antics involved in this," Perez said.

New Rape Prevention Tool: The Female Condom With Teeth.

This sounds like joke, but it is serious business. A Doctor in South Africa has invented a female condom with teeth to thwart would-be rapists. Rape is epidemic in many African countries. Not only does the condom prevent rape, the attacker has to go to the emergency room to have it removed. Ouch...

(CNN) -- South African Dr. Sonnet Ehlers was on call one night four decades ago when a devastated rape victim walked in. Her eyes were lifeless; she was like a breathing corpse.

"She looked at me and said, 'If only had teeth down there,'" recalled Ehlers, who was a 20-year-old medical researcher at the time. "I promised her I'd do something to help people like her one day."

Forty years later, Rape-aXe was born.

Ehlers is distributing the female condoms in the various South African cities where the World Cup soccer games are taking place.

The woman inserts the latex condom like a tampon. Jagged rows...Read more here.
