Thanks to a semicolon, gays and lesbians keep marrying in San Francisco:

Two judges delayed taking any action Tuesday to shut down San Francisco's same-sex wedding spree, citing court procedures as they temporarily rebuffed conservative groups enraged that the city's liberal politicians had already married almost 2,400 gay and lesbian couples.
The second judge told the plaintiffs that they would likely succeed on the merits eventually, but that for now, he couldn't accept their proposed court order because of a punctuation error.
It all came down to a semicolon, the judge said.
'I am not trying to be petty here, but it is a big deal ... That semicolon is a big deal,' said San Francisco Superior Court Judge James Warren.

woo!
