OH Senate Passes Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids

An anonymous reader writes "The sci-fi movie Splice seems to have scared the Ohio's State Senator Steve Buehrer. The Ohio Senate has passed Sen. Buehrer's bill banning 'the creation, transportation, or receipt of a human-animal hybrid, the transfer of a nonhuman embryo into a human womb, and the transfer of a human embryo into a nonhuman womb.' So much for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

    ... From upset sheep farmers in Wyoming.

      A traveling salesman was driving along a country road.
      As he passed a sheep farm he saw a man out in the field with his trousers down having sex with one of the sheep.
      Shocked, he pulled into the farm driveway, walked up to the farmhouse and knocked on the door.
      A beautiful young woman answered the and asked if she could help him.
      The salesman told the young lady "I don't mean to shock you, but there is a man out in your field doing inappropriate things to your sheep!"
      The young lady sighed, rolled her very large brown eyes and said;
      "Oh, that's just D-a-a-a-a-a-a-ddy." :)

    While they are at it, why not ban cloaking devices and disruptors.

      Catgirls: because putting up with the cattiness of real girls just isn't enough, we added allergies to the mix.

      Worst. Idea. Ever.

      Should we have all laws passed by multiple Ph.D holders in selected fields who have little to no sense of humanity, only cold logic and rationale?

      Yes, scientists and other well educated people are inhumane, coldly logical killing machines. Mark well your fear. We are coming for you.

    What prevents a gene-splicer from creating, transporting, or receiving a human-animal hybrid in neighboring Michigan?

    Nothing... but figuring out which are hybrids and which are "normal Michigan residents" could be a problem... ;)

    What guy wouldn't want a horses dick? Yeah - you would limit who you can date but talk about a show stopper at a meeting when you whip it out and slap it on the table when you don't have an answer.
