Horseplay

So bestiality became a felony in Washington this year, apparently spurred forward because of a death last year. The guy died from a "perforation of the sigmoid colon during anal intercourse with a horse." I don't know how I didn't hear of this when it happened, this is vastly more newsworthy than most of the crap that gets coverage, but you've really got to check out the article.

Here's part of an IM conversation between a friend and I discussing the new law.

M: 'Sexual contact' means any contact, however slight, between the sex organ or anus of a person and the sex organ, mouth, or anus of any animal, or any intrusion, however slight, of any part of the body of the person into the sex organ or anus of an animal, for the purpose of sexual gratification or arousal of the person. Evidence of emission of semen is not required to prove sexual contact."
K: hahahaha
K: echh
M: hmm, it would seem to allow giving horses head
M: by the plain text of the statute
K: yeah you're right
M: this is one of those moments where you realize that law school has forever ruined you
