An anonymous reader writes "MSNBC has an article on the impending robo-human coupling: 'My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots,' artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience."

    I've often observed that the people most freaked out by homosexuality are repressing it within themselves.

    Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity

    750 pages of documented animal same sex behaviour from around the world covering pretty well covering every area of fauna speaks for itself.

    Which always makes me ask questions when I hear people say that homeosexuality is a choice.

    If it is free choice, and animals perform homosexual acts, does that mean that animals have free will and the ability to make such a choice?
