Um, you know, I love Seattle, and I love Washington State, but there are times . . .

From MSNBC:SEATTLE - A Seattle man died after engaging in anal sex with a horse at a farm suspected of being a gathering place for people seeking to have sex with livestock, police said Friday.

Wow, that must have been some sex. I mean, I've heard the old stories of lonely shephards up in the mountains for weeks and months at a time, but . . .

. . .The horse involved in the incident was not harmed, and an autopsy of the unnamed man concluded that “the manner of death was accidental ... due to perforation of the colon,” a police spokesman said.

Oh, you mean the horse was . . .damn!

. . .“The information that we have is that people would find this place via chat rooms on the Web,” said Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff’s Department.

And they say the internet has been a benefit to our lives.

Although sex with animals is not illegal in Washington state, Urquhart said that investigators were looking into whether the farm, located in Enumclaw, 40 miles southeast of Seattle, allowed sex with smaller animals that resulted in animal cruelty, which is a crime.

“If you’re talking about sheep or goats, there could be some issues,” Urquhart said.

Well, you've got to draw the line somewhere, I guess. Yeah, Cleveland isn't looking so bad these days . . .
