    Shhhhhh your logic takes the fun out of picturing a sex toys taskforce.

    It`s probably a lack of a laws things. There`s no laws on it but if you did it they`d probably charge with something. Defacement of the dead? Public indecency? Grave robbing?

    Yes. There was a case in Wisconsin where they ended up having to rule that the body of the deceased was the property of her relatives, and the offenders had committed theft by removing it from the grave.

    No affiliation to the poster, just found it googling.

    The FDA can clear peanut butter if it has an average of one rodent hair per 100 grams.

    I suspect that the law is only on the books because vibrators were originally sold as a medical device. Those require a prescription. I would be interested in finding out if anyone has ever actually been charged with a crime in connection to owning one. From what I understand of the laws, she can't sue unless she's been harmed by something (in this case - the law.)

    The male platypus is one of the few mammals with a venomous barb. That's right. Not only is it part duck/part beaver. It's also part freaking scorpion.

    Interestingly, nearly anything made into a fine powder and mixed with air increases ignition power. I mean powdered aluminium (soda cans!) and iron oxide (rust!) are the reason thermite burns so hot, one of the hottest burning compounds made by man so far.

    That crappy fake powdered cream is also very flammable.

    @Samuel Lighton I am pretty sure the hottest man made thing, is the hydrogen bomb and nuclear bomb. The initial blast at detonation is super heated plasma. That is the nasty stuff that incinerates so much before the concussive blast of air tears the hell out of the target area. Neat huh? There is also plasma welders get as hot as 45,000 degrees F, or hotter. Great for metallurgy but terrible for combat as it would cauterize the wound, seem plasma is some really neat and nasty substance. :p

    To conclude plasma is far hotter than our sun (10,000 degree nuclear fusion reactor). I am going with plasma being the hottest thing that we know of so far at 45k+ degrees. So we have at our disposal the inferno of a star at our whim. :p

    I couldn't find any information on when the law was passed, but I did find out that the state of Alabama banned sex toys outright...in 1998.

    It is illegal for "any person to knowingly distribute, possess with intent to distribute, or offer or agree to distribute any obscene material or any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for any thing of pecuniary value."

    A girl's best friend is a cigar, a pistol on her hip and her trusty stallion.

    What?

    If there were a world-ending apocalypse, I'd want to be on her team.

    ...um, she's one of the good ones right? Assuming she doesn't do evil stuff.

    If the population of China were to walk by you in a straight line, the line would never end because of the reproductive rate

    EDIT: this is actually untrue, because Ripley is a lying ass.

    Ripley made that up for his "Believe it or Not" series.

    Definitively reputed in "Red Mars", where it's pointed out that, if they were all busy walking past you in a straight line, none of them would be involved in the various, um, activities necessary to keep making more of them.

    Goddammit Ripley. Now I feel bad. I contributed to a flow of misinformation.

    Hey man, don't count them out, when people get horny, they get- inventive.

    If the entire population of China were to walk past me in a straight line, I'd still feel like the only one with a creepy Asian fetish.

    It's the birthing that will take real inventiveness.
