Typo in Proposition 8 Defines Marriage as Between "One Man and One Wolfman"

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

SACRAMENTO, CA—Activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate were shocked this November, when a typographical error in California's Proposition 8 changed the state constitution to restrict marriage to a union between "one man and one wolfman," instantly nullifying every marriage except those comprised of an adult male and his lycanthrope partner. "The people of California made their voices heard today, and reaffirmed our age-old belief that the only union sanctioned in God's eyes is the union between a man and another man possessed by an ungodly lupine curse," state Sen. Tim McClintock said at a hastily organized rally celebrating passage of the new law. But opponents, including Bakersfield resident Patricia Millard—who is now legally banned from marrying her boyfriend, a human, non-wolfman male—claim it infringes on their civil liberties. "I love James just as much as a wolfman loves his husband," Millard said. "We deserve the same rights as any horrifying mythical abomination." On the heels of the historic typo, voters in Utah passed a similar referendum a week later, defining marriage as between one man and 23 wolfmen.

5. Amusing but...

Not entirely impossible. When I was in college at Pittsburg State in the southeastern part of Kansas, Missouri passed a law that was so bloated with flowery politician speech that a linguist had to be called in to decipher it, and it turned out they had banned sex.

Thanks--I needed that! DH just told me about a Michigan law that says you can't have sex on your front lawn totally naked, but it's OK if you wear socks.
