OT: Are ALL marriages "same sex" marriages?

[Warren N.CA]

After all, you get married, then, night after night, you have the SAME SEX!

Red planet went pink, President Bush reveals.
By Andy Borowitz

In a nationally televised address last night on the subjects of gay
matrimony and space exploration, President Bush revealed that gay
marriage wiped out all life on Mars millions of years ago.

"The Mars rover tells us that Mars at one time was host to a great
civilization, perhaps even more advanced than our own," Mr. Bush said.
"But that civilization and all living things in it were ultimately
destroyed by gay marriage."

While the Mars rover has found evidence of water necessary for
sustaining life, it has found no evidence of life itself, "leading one
to the unavoidable conclusion that gay marriage must have destroyed it,"
Mr. Bush said.

"The Martians, for all their advancements, obviously neglected to pass a
constitutional amendment banning gay marriage," Mr. Bush said. "We
follow their example at our peril."

In the Democratic response to the President's speech, Sen. Evan Bayh
(D-Indiana) denied that there was any evidence that the so-called Red
Planet had, in the words of Mr. Bush, "gone pink."

Senator Bayh went on to say that while the Mars rover had in fact
discovered traces of water, the rover offered "no evidence whatsoever"
of gay Martians.

"We now know that Mars was a wet planet," Sen. Bayh said. "We do not
know how it got wet."

Later, Mr. Bush backed off his claims somewhat, saying that if gay
marriage did not destroy life on Mars, then Saddam Hussein did. For more

is not pink, but LAVENDER. (Those considering the purchase of a PURPLE E36 M3, might well consider this.)

Nice ride, Marshy.

thast things sweet, have more pictures of it?

[Marshy]

Don't have the car any more, but the specs were:
TVR Chimaera 500
5 litre V8, close on 300bhp with similar lb/ft, 1060kg.
0-60 in 4.5, 0-100 in just over 10. Top end of over 160mph if you're brave enough to risk the lift generated...

Sadly, a foundering business meant that I had to sell in 2002, but it provided me with a couple of years worth of very big smiles. More pics here:-

The E38 shown there is no longer mine either - for the same reason as the TVR.
