And Emma gets a bonus monkey on the lam (it's Spot The American Talk Show Night, clearly) for my role in the hijacking of her thread.
Oh, I think we were well and truly jacked before you got here, but I appreciate the sentiment. Also the opportunity to mention the apartment block thing, because that does my head in.
headline-grabbing but otherwise blunted statutes designed not to be enforced
A police spokesman sort of accidentally told the Guardian they don't intend to police the Extreme Pornography law. Which, unfortunately, won't stop other people bringing embarrassing complaints. So everybody's happy.

THE height of a proposed high-rise development has been slashed because parents fear pedophiles will be able to spy on children from the top storeys

* incest
* compelling indecent act with animalI find this kind of bizarre. Surely people guilty of these are more in need of intensive psychiatric treatment than 25 years in prison? Especially given that all the various permutations of statutory rape are included separately.
Yeah, unsurprisingly I'm wary that a whole LOT of sex offences have been dumped in there at once. Taking incest, if you look at everything that's covered in other areas there, it appears to be 'incest between two consenting adults'. Is that actually something we feel a compelling need to imprison people for at all, let alone for life?

Hadyn is never seen in public without both a pineapple and a coconut in his hands.
Is there lime in the coconut?

Communications and Information Technology Minister Steven Joyce acknowledged concerns about the law's implementation, but stopped short of saying it would be reviewed.
"We will keep a close eye on how the new law works in practice. We are prepared to look at further changes if they prove necessary."
That's practically a dare .

Women with high in-utero testosterone may be attracted to men with a genotype that is linked to mathematical skills which is in turn linked to a pheromone they produce.
"Mmmmmm, smells like... maths."
