One Man's Bicycle Is Another Man's Porno

I read an interesting post this morning, recommended by The Blogfather, regarding political correctness in classical Rome.

One of the points of the post was Tacitus's belief that superior morals should make good laws superfluous.

I don't know if this was a failure of law or morals, but there's certainly nothing noble about this savage having sex with a bicycle.

A man has been placed on the sex offenders’ register after being caught trying to have sex with a bicycle.

Robert Stewart was discovered in his room by two cleaners at the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr, south west Scotland, in October last year.

On Wednesday Mr Stewart admitted to sexual breach of the peace in Ayr Sheriff Court, where depute fiscal Gail Davidson described how he had been found by the hostel workers.

She said: "They knocked on the door several times and there was no reply.

"They used a master key to unlock the door and they then observed the accused wearing only a white T-shirt, naked from the waist down.

"The accused was holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex."
