A man who was accused of having sex with a sheep has walked free because the animal was unable to testify. Under Dutch law, bestiality is not a crime unless it can be proved the animal didn’t want to have sex.
“Billionaire denies building secret sex lair”
Yep, that’s got to be the headline of the day, and I don’t understand why the Snarky Platypus didn’t find it first.
America’s 160th richest person, a billionaire who made his money from the 1990s hi-tech boom, has been accused of planning to build a “secret and convenient lair” underneath his California mansion dedicated to drug-taking and sex with prostitutes…
Kenji Kato worked for Mr [Henry] Nicholas as an assistant for seven years and alleges the tycoon ordered him to provide balloons filled with the laughing gas nitrous oxide for guests at parties held by the businessman. Guests’ drinks would be spiked with powdered ecstasy pills, he alleges.
Well, there goes my plan to write a couple of serious essays today… Thanks to Marc Andreessen for the tip.
Stabbed, kept masturbating

The Ghost of Cho Seung-hui
Watch out. That weird foreign student in trenchcoat and shades. Does he ever talk to anyone? That’s suspicious. What’s he writing? A play about murder and rape? Arrest him. Now! Quick! Check everyone else! Get their psychology profiled! Watch them. Watch them closely!
Cho Seung-hui took a beautiful photo of his bullets and posed with his guns before he blew away 32 fellow humans — roughly a quarter of the number killed in Iraq by suicide bombs yesterday — and was presumably one seriously sick individual. But in that obese, self-centred tangle of hypocrisy that is America the reaction is, as usual, wrong…
It’s still bestiality if the dog is dead
Sadly, in Michigan, the defence that “a dead dog is not an animal and therefore cannot be violated against its will” won’t get you off charges of having sex with the carcass of your girlfriend’s dog. Saturday nights will never be the same.
