In North Carolina, it is illegal for a man and a woman, pretending to be married, to check into a hotel room. We also still have "alienation of affection" on the books. Defined as the "willful and malicious interference with marriage relations by a third party", an aggrieved wife may not only sue her husband for divorce, but also the "other woman" for damages! ![]() Join the PACK! |

Matthew Love and Maximus Decimus Meridius In case you guys are not aware, i am hosting the current Orbit@home image in your signatures in my photobucket account. No worries, its not costing me anything :). The image was made by someone else but i took the image and cut it down to size to what you both currently have in your signatures. As i only done a very rough job when i chopped that image, i made a new Orbit@home button that you can use instead of that one if you like. Here it is; ![]() Image link; http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n46/john502/orbit/OAH87347.png You are welcome to use either image if you want, glad to see you supporting the project.
