Mark Twain's Lover Brought Him Vibrators

Mark Twain asked that his memoirs be published 100 years after he died, so that his friends wouldn't be offended by all the slagging off (apparently, his last few years sucked, and he got rather grumpy).

You can read the article here, but let me save you the trouble of sifting through four whole paragraphs: the best part of the story is that "[his secretary and lover] Lyon and Twain were so close she liked to buy him vibrators."

Vibrators.

Seeing as how the man had this affair not long before his death in *1910*, I can only assume that "vibrator" means something other than what I think it means. I'll let your mind run wild.
