      Yes, according to police sources, he was wearing a red hat while he invaded Washington. Jennifer Washington, 8 year old victim of the invasion, is currently in stable condition in a local hospital, and is expected to recover. Charges of sodomy, child endangerment, corruption of a minor, aggravated sexual assault, disorderly conduct, and public lewdness will be pressed.

    I'm a statistician for a large corporation. I deal a lot with statistics in the computer world, and we are contracted often by ad agencies for information in regards to the preferences of computer users. One assignment was dealing with the operating systems and their user's lifestyle and preferences. The results we came up with were interesting and shocking. Here are some memorable tidbits.

    Windows users

    87% of Windows users are employed (3% on welfare)

    40% hold a university level degree

    43% in a heterosexual relationship

    5% are in a homosexual relationship

    3% have a serious mental disorder

    Linux users

    32% of linux users are employed (15% are on welfare)

    35% hold a university degree

    4% are in a heterosexual relationship

    37% are in a homosexual relationship

    56% have a serious mental disorder

    Thus we have concluded that effective ads related to linux should try and target the mentally disturbed, homosexuals, and the unemployed.

    Hi,

    I'm a 20 something geek. I have question for likeminded geeks who might not mind wasting 2cents on me... well, here goes.

    Sodomy is defined as, (dict)

    From WordNet (r) 1.6 [wn]:

    sodomy
    n : anal intercourse commited by a man with a man or a woman [syn: {buggery}, {anal intercourse}

    Last christmas, by some bizarre buggery on the part of a sex shop website, the order of a nice vibrator for my girlfriend turned out to be a.. um.. strap on dildo.

    Last night, my girlfriend tried it on me. It felt very good. Now, my question for /. is, is this sodomy? Is this buggery? Is this Anal intercourse? Please tell me.

      Sick fuck, no wonder Linux is so fucked up, it's with guys like you with your mind in the gutter, when you can do something better to; for example, I on the other hand, am a law school student, one day, i'll finish law school and take the bar, and on that day, I would look at your silly little post again and think, "Man, that Linux dude is stupid", am I right?

      Yes, this is sodomy and buggery. However, the anal intercourse designation is more controversial-it is not anal intercourse in the most strict and technical sense, since no part of your girlfriend's body penetrated you, but for practical purposes the activity would be considered intercourse. This is the same as the "sexual relations" principle.

      But rest assured, you have been sodomized and buggered-it is the dictionary at fault here. Just as some dictionaries incorrectly define rape as an act of a man against a woman, the authors of your dictionary have been blinded by sexism and false preconceptions. Until recently, society perpetuated the myth that women are entirely passive and "clean", whereas men are the only dynamic sexual element. Many of the older generation-the generation of most dictionary editors-still cling to this idea, and whether consciously or subconsciously, they attempt to force the world to fit their conservative morality. Just as women are capable of the vote, and women are capable of professional work, women are capable of sodomy. Your girlfriend may not realize it, but by giving it to a guy in the rear she is participating in the front lines of the equal rights revolution. Encourage her. Often. Mmm.

      By the way, according to Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, sodomy is any sexual intercourse regarded as abnormal. Sexual intercourse is here defined as the sexual joining of two individuals. Under this dictionary, you clearly engaged in sodomy, since there certainly exists at least one person on earth who would consider the act abnormal.

      have a nice day. and remember my motto-"always look under rocks!" (thats because you might find a stone (free sodomizing to anyone who can guess what that's a reference to))
