    Re: Just what IS "marriage" anyway?

    Rhode Island becomes the 10th state to allow it, overcoming a heavily Catholic opposition.

    Only 40 more to go, or really probably 20 before SCOTUS is comfortable enough to jump in fully and make it national.

        Surely everyone will want to marry their lampshade if we allow the gays to marry.

          The declaration from Jason Collins that he is gay also caused some people to note that his identical twin brother is not. That led someone else (link not handy) to review some studies on correlation among identical twins on how many of them had the same sexual orientation (in other words, is "homosexuality" genetic?)

          upon review of the evidence beyond this one set of twins, if i recall correctly, it appears that statistical studies of identical and fraternal twins have found that "homosexuality" is not highly correlated with heredity, though the correlation is twice as high for men as it is for women. Some have interpreted this to mean that there might be a "predisposition" based on genetic factors that requires an environmental trigger.

            but only after the office Christmas holiday party, and only until they sober up the next morning.

                      I remember an article from a few years ago where a Japanese man married his gaming console, or the virtual girlfriend on a game within that console. It's been a while. At any rate, it had something to do with a Game Boy and the guy marrying it.

                        Being a looking homosexual with that is a quick way to get a black eye in some locker rooms.

                            We really need to get back to that. Along with the boys being "trained" by the elder women of the tribe.
