Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've been told that fear of breeding "monsters" was part of the reason for the prohibition against beastality.

Maybe that's part of the reason for executing the critters?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My guess about the labor law is that computer workers are exempt from minimum wage and overtime protections just like other professionals (lawyers & doctors) but only if they're comparably skilled professionals. A mere data entry worker, on the other hand, should be treated like workers who are protected by labor laws.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, and here I've been thinking all my life that heifers ARE cows.

Heifers are, like, prepubescent cows.

I was once attacked by a heifer who was going into heat for the first time....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmmm, how long will this xpost grow. I'm at two right now but factoring in the number of Buffistas present times the Python reference...

eta: Nope. Just two. You all sicken me with your failure to geek out!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Cotton Mather in his book "The history of New England," written at the end of the seventeenth century, describes how a Weymouth man, who had been a lifelong Sodomist, was first made to watch as 3 sheep, 2 sows, 2 heifers and a cow, all of which had been his sexual partners, were hanged. It seems that in this puritanical world that the animals involved were just as guilty "before God" as the man himself. He was executed in the same manner shortly afterwards.

William Bradford wrote about a similar incident in The History of Plymouth Plantation. But, in his version, the boy also had sex with a turkey (I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of that) in addition to the other sheep, cows, etc. The animals were slaughtered and buried in a pit because they were too unclean to eat. The boy was then hanged.
