Could Conjoined Twins Share a Mind?

It was bedtime for Krista and Tatiana Hogan, and the 4-year-old twin girls were doing what 4-year-olds everywhere do at bedtime. They were stalling, angling for more time awake.

Facebook Is Number One Tool For Divorce Lawyers

Hmmm, should we blame the cheating spouse? Nope. Blame the lawyers that are now digging through wall posts instead of your garbage can? Nope. Blame Zuckerberg. Damn you Mark Zuckerberg, damn you!

One divorce attorney says that the first place she goes to when starting a case is all the various social networking sites, Facebook being the primary one. The information gleaned there can be useful when trying to negotiate a better settlement for their clients. Like a screenshot of a series of flirty wall posts.
