Proof that the world is nuts by Pinchichuv on 01-26-2007 at 03:31 AM

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?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.

(A brick?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

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 illicit 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?

Well, not as great as Guam !)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.

(Who volunteers for this stuff?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

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???)

     (Did the government pay for this research??)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Ah, geez.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its 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 I thought I had bad Breath in the morning!)

Let me give you a clue.. starts with Sonic and ends with Sam. It also rhymes with sopshhahm

I know for sure some of them are just in paper though and nobody follows them.. like the one from Bolivia and Colombia.

The world IS nuts!!! I'm on it ;) :P.


RE: Proof that the world is nuts by Weyzza on 01-26-2007 at 05:23 AM

I doubt that half of those "proofs" are true.
The only proof that the world is going nuts is, people just believe what they read and forward it to others, driving some people like me nuts.

For example:

quote:
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
I couldn't find any reliable source that confirms this so-called fact.
A result from Google pointed to this site.
I assume that the writer is Indonesian, and he tagged the post as "bogus."

A friend of mine also confirmed this.
He said he was not aware that there was such law in Indonesia.
If someone gets caught masturbation in public, he will of course be jailed, which is not different from other countries.
One law he found bizarre was, people who kiss on the lips in public places will be jailed and have to pay a fine.

The hoaxer perhaps takes advantage of the fact that Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world although it is not an Islamic nation.

If you want to know a weird law: chewing gum is banned in Singapore.
I believe xJ + can confirm this.

RE: Proof that the world is nuts by joey on 01-30-2007 at 10:09 AM

i think if aliens came from another planet, they'd kill us all just for some of those stupid lwas that we've made! and who would want to lose like a million braincells everytime they hit their head against a wall just to see how many calories you burn off? i think we've broken this world...

Yeah.
There is one more weird law now: all teenages (below the age of 16) have to be home by 2300hours. If seen by policmen in a group, they will stop those teens and will report to those teens' parents. If seen being alone, the (lazy) policemen will ignore. -.-
When it was first implemented: All teenages regardless in a group out at night (2300hours to be exact), will be stopped by policmen and will be reported to their parents. -.-

Something like that. There were more reasons behind the banning of chewing gum.

Now the government allows import of Nicorette chewing gum that helps reduce smokers from smoking and some other kind of chewing gums, not sure which.. Whatever, banning of chewing gums is the past though. When chewing gums were totally banned, you could still see us, Singaporeans, chewing chewing gums practically everyday, we don't really care; we just have to be very careful not to get caught. :P

Some very very strange laws around the world, some of the old US Laws entertained me :P


RE: Proof that the world is nuts by markee on 02-08-2007 at 12:14 PM

There was a law here in Queensland, Australia up until about 20 years ago that you weren't allowed to wear slippers in public or something.  I wish they kept it and got rid of all those girls wearing ug boots....


RE: Proof that the world is nuts by somelauw on 02-08-2007 at 02:33 PM

If I remember correctly, you can be sentenced to death in America when you are already dead? I am not sure though. Correct me if I am wrong.
