This has been the Week of the Dating Spreadsheet, as cold calculation has collided with the intangibility of Love. As much as fun as we've had at the expense of these Excel-wielding souls, others have rushed to their defense. One such person has sent us their own dating spreadsheet. "See how it helps me organize the last little corner of my life that has resisted such cold calculation?"

The Best (Fake) Dating Spreadsheet Discovered
Hells Angels Debar Their Bench
Earlier this month the Hells Angels installed a bar across the bench that sits in front of their headquarters on Third Street in the East Village. Why'd they do that? To keep toursits passing by (or staying in a nearby hotel) from using it. Naturally, some neighbors and tourists were not amused by the addition and—shockingly!—apparently neither was the city's Department of Transportation.
Hells Angels Booked $2 Shows On 2nd Avenue
Before the Hells Angels were doing 24/7 surveillance on their precious sidewalk bench, they were presenting shows at the Anderson Theatre on 2nd Avenue. Where? The venue allegedly had around 5,000 seats (though some believe it was more like 2,000), and was originally a Yiddish Playhouse circa late 1800s or early 1900s. In the late '60s it became a rock venue, with Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company had their New York debut (which took place on February 17, 1968).
Locals, Tourists Address The Hells Angels Bench
A new tourist repelling measure was recently taken at the Hells Angel's headquarters on East 3rd Street, and now the NY Post has taken a visit over there, declaring even tourists aren't intimidated by the group anymore. Ooooh burn, Angels. To recap: the Angels have attached a club-like device (first spotted by EV Grieve) to their bench to prevent anyone from sitting on it—which allegedly tourists from a nearby hotel were doing frequently.
Hells Angels Add Tourist Repeller To Bench
It is kind of hilarious that the Hells Angels cannot find a way to keep tourists off their precious street bench. (Don't tell them we said that, though.) Outside of their clubhouse at 77 East 3rd Street, they have a wooden bench—not unlike any wooden bench you'd see around the city—and they really do not want commoners sitting on it. In Google street view it can be seen turned over, back in 2009 they added a sign warning others to stay away from the bench, and now EV Grieve has photos of the latest effort to keep unwelcome sitters (specifically from a nearby hotel) away. Yep, that's a Club-like device for benches. If this doesn't work, we suggest they chain a television to the bench and screen select footage from Altamont.
Feds Can't Find Body Buried By Undercover Agent
Kenneth (Hogman) Van Diver, a different VP with the club, told his unidentified federal agent that he and a fellow Pagan had killed a man and buried the body, which resulted in some complications. Van Diver said that he and Pagan Tracey Lahey had shot a man in 2009 over a drug deal, and buried the body near a rented home in upstate Swan Lake. "We believe the agent was given a test to see if he would do it and whether he would tell anybody about it later," a source told the Daily News.
Pagans Biker Gang Busted In Plot To Off Hells Angels
In a page right out of the show "Sons of Anarchy," seventeen members of the motorcycle club The Pagans were arrested today in a plot to kill their arch-enemies, the Hells Angels. Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents arrested the members this morning at the alleged headquarters of the Long Island Pagans, the House of Tattooing in Rocky Point. They face charges of conspiracy to commit murder, assault (some using "axe handles, boots, billiard balls, and a pipe wrench"), distribution of cocaine and oxycodone, conspiracy to commit extortion and weapons charges (PDF).
Three Dead in Seven Hours in Night of Queens Violence
A member of the Hells Angels was found dead on 28th street and Ditmars Boulevard Saturday morning, with several gunshot wounds to his head and bloody footprints where his face had been stomped in. "It looked like a cherry pie," one local told the Post. The "execution-style" shooting happened around 5 a.m., and witnesses say the killer repeatedly kicked victim John Giampetruzzi as he lay on the ground. The shooting was the latest in a series of unrelated killings in the borough over Friday night.

NYPD's Hells Angels Raid May Lead to Lawsuit
As we all expected, the Hells Angels member who was arrested during a police raid of the motorcycle gang's headquarters plans to sue the city. The police were investigating the beating of a 52 year old woman found on the sidewalk outside the Hells Angels' location on East 3rd Street in the East Village. The police prepared to raid the establishment and brought out snipers, a hostage negotiation truck, and more, and arrested Richard West in the process.
Hells Angels Club Raided After Woman is Beaten
More details have emerged about why the police raided the Hells Angels Headquarters on East 3rd Street yesterday. It turns out that 52 year old Roberta Shalaby was beaten into a coma when, as the Daily News puts it, she "tried to push her way into the Hells Angels clubhouse" Sunday night. Shalaby had gotten into an argument with a female Hells Angel biker at The Edge, and then followed them to their headquarters. Witnesses say she yelled, "You motherf----r! Let me in!" as well as "Come down here and say it like a man!" when someone from the club told her to shut up. Then someone came out and beat her up, according to police.
