I can't comment about other states, but Oregon generally doesn't have a problem if you are naked.

ORS 163.465. Public indecency

(1) A person commits the crime of public indecency if while in, or in view of, a public place the person performs:
(a) An act of sexual intercourse;
(b) An act of deviate sexual intercourse; or
(c) An act of exposing the genitals of the person with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of the person or another person.

Combined this with section 8 from the Oregon constitution:

Section 8. Freedom of speech and press. No law shall be passed restraining the free expression of opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write, or print freely on any subject whatever; but every person shall be responsible for the abuse of this right.

And you have a pretty strong case why John Brennan's naked TSA protest was not be violating the public indecency statue.

I could be mistaken, but other states may have a problem if you're naked for any reason. This might be why many people say, "Except you have to live in Oregon".

This news makes me happy to live in Oregon!

And kudos to the judge for being sensible.

And Mercury and Venus don't have any moons and they still classify them as planets?! Obviously, moons are not a requirement for planetary status.

In case anybody is interested, I found the FAQ here.

Here are a few examples of requests that have been submitted through our copyright removals process that were clearly invalid copyright removal requests.

        A major U.S. motion picture studio requested removal of the IMDb page for a movie released by the studio, as well as the official trailer posted on a major authorized online media service.
        A U.S. reporting organization working on behalf of a major movie studio requested removal of a movie review on a major newspaper website twice.
        A driving school in the U.K. requested the removal of a competitor's homepage from Search, on the grounds that the competitor had copied an alphabetized list of cities and regions where instruction was offered.
        A content protection organization for motion picture, record and sports programming companies requested the removal of search results that link to copyright removal requests submitted by one of their clients and other URLs that did not host infringing content.
        An individual in the U.S. requested the removal of search results that link to court proceedings referencing her first and last name on the ground that her name was copyrightable.
        Multiple individuals in the U.S. requested the removal of search results that link to blog posts and web forums that associated their names with certain allegations, locations, dates or negative comments.
        A company in the U.S. requested the removal of search results that link to an employee's blog posts about unjust and unfair treatment.

We did not comply with any of these requests.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, my favorite robot is Johnny-5.

That really should be a option in the poll.

Isn't the T-800 actually a cyborg? (Yes yes, i know. Once you burn all its skin off, it's back to being a robot.)

Oh my head!

I accidently read Peter Gibbons as Peter Griffin. So I read the entire conversation with Seth MacFarlene's voice talking about bread crumps.

I was at first confused and then confoundingly impressed by depth of your post... until I realized it was Gibbons and not Griffin, then everything made sense again.

I too find these extra features to be bloated and annoying.

And since I've disable all scripts from Google's main page (i.e no more autocomplete or instant preview), this latest change by Google doesn't even affect me.

We once "trained" out cat to use the toilet. I use the word trained in quotes because it was really just having the cat to use the litter box in a unique place.

If anyone is interest in how we did it...
We placed a pan in the toilet bowl so it sits in the rim of the toilet (we used those aluminum cooking pans I think) and fill it with cat litter. The can will use the it like it would use a regular litter box. After a while, cat a small hole in the center of the pan. Then over the course of a few weeks, continuingly increase the size of the hole until the pan is basically just a rim (i.e. no more pan). The cat will now use the non-existent litter box that is your toilet. Just don't forget to keep the sit up or the cat can't use the toilet.



This dog vs cat smarter topic reminds me of something I heard as a kid: when was the last time you ever saw a cat pull a sleigh through the snow?
