At a literary discussion in the United States, two men began arguing about books and authors. The battle heated up enough that the men ended up in a fist fight, which sent one of them to the hospital. Nerd fight!

A high school student in the US took to Twitter to accomplish a remarkable feat. Over the course of a few days, Mike Stone tweeted at hundreds of porn stars, and one has finally agreed to go as his date to the prom. But she's making him by the plane ticket.
