So we got the DNA tests back -- Muffin's definitely a boy. He's celebrating this morning by trying hard to hop into my cereal and being poofy and cuddly. I just walked away from the desk to take off my shoes and he squeaked and launched himself off the desk toward me. He's such a cute little bird, but forethought is not one of his pressing concerns.

Marvel sues over City of Heroes
According to a story written by the Associated Press today, Marvel Enterprises is suing South Korea-based NCsoft and San Jose-based Cryptic Studios over their MMORPG City of Heroes. Marvel claims that that the game allows players to create characters which are too similar to the Hulk, X-Men, and other heroes from their comic book series, violating their trademarks. Marvel is seeking unspecified damages and an injunction against the two companies to stop using its characters.
Sigh. Marvel suing over a lack of creativity. Guh.

Dribbleglass.com--Strange Sex Laws, Weird Funny Laws About Sex and Sexuality
Some of the, um, better ones....
It's against the law to make love to a virgin, whatever the circumstances, anywhere in the state of Washington. According to the wording of the legislation, it's a major crime even to marry and then spend the night with a virgin bride in that city.
There's an odd law governing beds in all Sioux Falls, South Dakota, hotels. Every room is required to have twin beds. And these twin beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make love on the floor between the beds.
Connecticut still retains an old law forbidding any kind of "private sexual behavior between consenting adults." This odd law makes absolutely no distinction between married and single couples.
Branchville, South Carolina, retains an old piece of legalese covering those who "lewdly and lasciviously associate, bed, and cohabit together, in a public or non-public place." The amorous couple can be punished with a $500 fine and as much as a six-month prison term.
And there are more international laws, which are every bit as odd as you'd expect....

I wasn't going to do this, but it just came out too well. I'll make millions on the action figures and collector's plates....
