Umm, I think it's safe to say that you're off any

And just what is "sapiosexual?"   Only
has sex with wise persons?  Only has sex with humans?

I had been wondering from the earlier discussion if perhaps the reason the 
courts had not stopped the marriages was that there was a problem with the 
original statue that somehow made the marriages legal, which would have 
been a really interesting development, but that makes it clear that the 
problem was in the request for the injunction . . .

What on earth ever for? Its not like I put some names to the deviatees

I may be a deviate, but am definitely not a standard deviate.
