Proof The World Is Nuts!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with
animals, but the animals must be female.
Having sexual relations with a male animal is
punishable by death.

(Like THAT makes sense.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's
genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them
during the examination. He may only see their reflection
in a mirror.

(Do they look different reversed?)

*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

(Much worse than "going blind!")

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel
the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay
them for the privilege of having sex for the first time...
Reason: Under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for
virgins to marry.

(Let! 's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere
else in the world that even comes close to this?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill
her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare
hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be
killed in any manner desired.

(Ah! Justice!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England -
but only in tropical fish stores.

(But of course!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her
husband, and the first time this happens, her mother
must be in the room to witness the act.

(Makes one shudder at the thought.)

*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex
with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had
to pass this law?)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending
machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be
dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where
alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the
premises."

(Is this a great country or what? Not as great as Guam, though!)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30
times its own weight and always falls over on its right
side when intoxicated.

(From drinking little bottles of...? How did the govt.
pay for this research??)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Ah, geez)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.

(I know some people like that.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Starfish don't ! have brains.

(I know some people like that, too)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And, the best for last..... Turtles can breathe through
their butts.

(And you think you have bad breath?)

I just couldn't resist

A few more for you all:

In America, it is illegal to send a building through the post.

In Newark, New Jersey, it is illegal to buy ice-cream without a note from a doctor.

In 1991, the highest earner in the White House was Millie the dog, who had a book written about her.

Kellogg's Corn Flakes were invented by Dr. Kellogg, and he invented them to stop people masturbating.

On 25th January, 1979, Robert Williams became the first person to be killed by a robot in a Ford car plant.

In 1985, Amanda Blake was fired from Coca-Cola for getting engaged to someone who worked for Pepsi.

In Finland is illegal to throw somebody out of moving car without cheking that persons condition first.

tukayaway · 13 Apr 2004, 20:55

Here's a few more :)

Duelling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.

If you were sealed in an airtight room, you wouldn't suffocate, you would die of carbon monoxide poisoning first.

In London, around 1690, it was possible to buy an insurance policy to prevent yourself from going to Hell.

Humans have around 600 muscles in their bodies, caterpillars have about 4000.

Most lipsticks contain fish scales as an ingredient.

Most toothpastes contain antifreeze.

Human placenta is used as an enriching agent in some brands of hair conditioner.

About 70% of household dust is actually dead skin.

The Crusaders took large cauldrons with them in which to boil the flesh off dead bodies to make it easier to transport bodies back home for a decent burial.

King Kodoko of the Congo hung onto his crown for three years after his death. He was washed, dressed and fed in case he decided not to stay dead after all.

Americans under the age of 15 are twice as likely to commit suicide than anywhere else in the world and twenty times more likely to die by gunfire than anywhere lese in the world.

An old Irish method of making sure butter was rich and creamy was to dip the left hand of a dead man into the churn.

Enjoy!

White of High · 13 Apr 2004, 22:47

Did you know that in Turkey they mustn't pay tax after buildings if the tax office doesn't see the building of the house. In Turkey lot of people build their houses through one night!!!

(And we don't understand why so many people die in eartquake...)

And a few more:

It was illegal to sell ET dolls in France because the country has a law forbidding dolls without human faces.

In the country of Laos, distances are measured in terms of how long it takes to cook rice.

About 2500 left handed people die each year by using products designed for right handed people.

In the UK, to see a revolving red and white striped pole outside a building indicates a barber. In Hong Kong, a brothel (Something for the weekend sir?

)

Mattel are one of the largest clothing manufacturers in the world, just to make outfits for Barbie dolls.

Ties were invented by the Croatians.

A carriage was used to take newly-wed Roman couples to their new home, and then the shaft of the carriage would be burnt by the grooms friends to prevent the wife from escaping.

In the courts of the Roman Empire, instead of swearing oaths on a bible, men swore to the truth whilst holding their balls. Hence the word Testify, from the word testiscles.

And the reason barbers poles are red and white goes back to the days when barbers used to be amatuer surgeons.

After they had operated on someone, they would hang the wet, bloody bandages outside to dry. Hence the red blood ont he white bandage denoted a barber and surgeon!!

Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!

My mum is a leftie so I am now ambidextrous as everything at her house is designed for lefties!!

shadow1000001 · 14 Apr 2004, 22:50

She's lucky! I can never find anything designed for lefties

Even if I did, I probably wouldn't be able to use it

I'm to used to doing everything right handed

airhead · 14 Apr 2004, 22:53

I was meant to be left but as a baby i was taught to be right handed. I don't understand either.

KebLou · 14 Apr 2004, 22:54

My uncle is left- handed and when he was at school he had a special pen, he left it for a minute while he went to the loo and someone nicked it.

I was left handed when I was younger but something happened to my hand so I used my right hand, so my writing with either is rubish.
