In the "WTF?" department....this story...

More evidence of the coming apocalypse: California gay prison inmates will be allowed conjugal visits.

This one's a bit of a head scratcher. Isn't that part of what happens nightly, inside prison, as a matter of course?

Like most stupid government shit, this comes after some kind of research study. Scientists and prison psychologists wanted to uncover the long-term effect of lack of conjugal relations on prisoners and so used laboratory mice in a double-blind study. Unfortunately, the 10% of the mice that happened to be gay (two rump-ranger mice pictured doing the tarentella at right) wouldn't participate, as they were all too busy listening to Judy Garland records.
