"Indeed, from a logical standpoint, the illegality of polygamy seems grossly unfair. If a man has a wife, and then takes a mistress, it is perfectly legal.

D'Glenn: When a fish commits suicide, does it jump onto a bridge?
[livejournal.com profile] anniemal: I sometimes wonder whether you are mad.

Unrelated, much later, picturing two lines of people set up to do a contra dance, I was suddenly struck with the idea of a contra dance as a Turing machine.

(And I cannot possibly be the first person to think of that.)
