Was doing some random browsing over the net and i stumbled upon
some weird laws.. take a look at them at the bottom..
decided to make do the soundblox i created few days back.. its
simply not working with the fact that i do not have a paid web
hosting server to upload the songs..
given more time and space, i'm doing lesser and lesser stuff..
seems like my mind will be going to a still state pretty soon.
or call it brain-dead.. need to get a life real soon..
till then.
============================================
During the 6th Century, it was customary to congratulate people
who sneezed because it was thought that they were expelling evil
from their bodies. During the great plague of Europe, the Pope
passed a law to say "God bless you" to one who sneezed.
There still are some weird laws on the books.
1. In Washington state, it is against the law to boast that
one's parents are rich.
2. In Maryland, it's illegal to play Randy Newman's "Short People"
on the radio.
3. In Alabama it is illegal to play Dominoes on Sunday.
4. In Minneapolis, double-parkers can be put on a chain gang.
5. An old statute in Kentucky states that men who push their wives
out of bed for inflicting their cold toes on them can be fined
or jailed for a week.
6. A 100-year-old law in Willowdale, Oregon makes it illegal to
swear during sex.
7. An odd law in Minnesota makes it illegal to hang male and
female underwear on the same washing line.
8. In Melbourne, Australia it is illegal for men to parade in
strapless dresses - but they are allowed to cross-dress in
anything with sleeves.
9. An old law in Russia allows a police officer to "beat a peeping
tom soundly."
10. In Texas, two categories of men are exempt from peeping tom
charges: men over 50 and men with only one eye.
11. In Normal, Oklahoma you could be sent to prison for "making an
ugly face at a dog."
12. And if you're in Hawaii and laughing at these odd laws, stop!
In Hawaii it is forbidden to laugh after 10pm.
