Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Tino is a human-animal hybrid.

The Arizona state Senate on Thursday passed a bill making it illegal for a person to “intentionally or knowingly creating a human-animal hybrid.”

I would have some concern this might make it illegal to do some research with say splicing in a human gene into a mouse embryo. But the other stuff makes it sound like that isn't what they are targeting. Which, okay, don't know that it's really an issue, but I can't say I have any objection.

Sure, that's what you say now, but wait until you realize your world-domination plans will depend on having an army of hybrid human/emperor penguin stormtroopers....

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

Would it count as a human animal hybrid if I just had them splice in a prehensile tail?

Also, would that be forbidden under the Arizona law?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

“intentionally or knowingly creating a human-animal hybrid.”

But accidentally making one is ok? Good to know.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

No prehensile tail. It's hard enough to keep up with all the ragged hems and shed buttons; I'm not altering all your pants.

Also, check your email in a couple minutes, please.

Would dressing in an Ocelot outfit be reasonably suspicious in terms of immigration status?
