So, until now, my favorite unintentionally appropriate law case was Loving vs. Virginia, the case that struck down miscegenation laws against interracial marriage in the U.S.

But now, the Craig scandal has unearthed another, even better one. According to Idaho law, solo masturbation within an enclosed restroom stall is legally protected behavior. The name of the 1990 case that established this precedent? State vs. Limberhand.

In other news, today I was very glad I was born a girl. It was Mac's 1-year-checkup, and in order to get a urine sample they had to thread a spaghetti-sized catheter tube up his genitals. For once, I'm glad to have the waste disposal system I do. He also had 1 shot in each leg and two big tubes of blood drawn, so he looks rather like a war victim. Poor little boy. He is, for the record, still at the 97th percentile in height (32.5 inches), 50th in weight (almost 24 lbs), and 75thish in head circumference.

Another classic is High Tech Gays v. DISCO, although unlike Loving and Limberhand, the case name is not particularly descriptive. (DISCO was or is a security clearance office in the US government; the issue was whether homosexuality should be considered a security risk.)
