In other news, Scottish men need their heads examined...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[Always Right]

EEEEwwwww!

Marrying your mother-in-law? Talk about a special private Hell. From the people who gave us haggis and bagpipes, now this.

[SavageRepublican]

Why the hell would anyone WANT to do this?

[NonValueAdded]

OK, maybe not burned alive .... but he surely should have his head examined.

[SF Republican]

Arlene, is this true?

[Semper Paratus]

That would make your ex-wife your daughter-in-law. EWWWWW!

[najida]

OK,
If you married Lisa Marie,
You could marry Pricilla Presley.

If you married Wynona ,
You could marry Naomi Judd

If you married Alexa Ray,
You could marry Christie Brinkley.

It ain't all bad.

Scottish women are also free to marry their former fathers-in-law

Like son, like father.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Heritage ping.

So Fiona can divorce young MacDonald and then marry his Dad, old MacDonald. O-kee dokee.

[Rokurota]

So let me gets this right. If your father remarries and then has a son, that's your half-brother. If you then marry that mother you will be both his half-brother and father-in-law. If you then get divorced, and gay marriages are legal, you can then marry your brother because you were his father-in-law...

Somebody had way too much Dewar's.

Both the Old and New Testament prohibit incestuous relations like this. In this case, a marriage (if one occurs) is not legitimate and should be ended.

There is no such instruction to burn the participants alive as the article asserts. It is very irresponsible for someone to publish statements supposedly from the Bible without bothering to check it out.

There was a good reason that this was made a law.

It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Scots can now marry mothers-in-law

Good news!!!

[forpoilc]

Are we certain this is not legal in the United States?

[Mike Bates]

Let's not tell Ernie K. Doe.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Reminds me of the song, "I'm my own grandpa..."
