In Japan, 89 percent of 11-12 year olds, 58 percent of 9-10 year olds, 24 percent of 7-8 year olds, 13 percent of 5-6 year olds own a mobile phone. And a company has launched one targeted on 4 year olds in 2007.
Prostitution in Britain is estimated to generate at least £1.2 billion in annual revenues according to figures quoted by Marketing Week.
1. In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle. (Who does that? I mean for what?)
2. In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk. (May be the ones in those fish tanks in local bars)
3. In Miami, Florida, it is illegal to skateboard in a police station. (Skate to the jail room)
4. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation. (I don’t think anyone can with this in mind)
5. In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle. (See. there is a way to do it)
6. In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth. (Power to men)
7. Australia - In Victoria, it’s illegal to wear hot pink shorts after midday on a Sunday.(But why? Pink isn’t cute enough? )
8. In Philippines, cars whose license plates end with a 1 or 2 are not allowed on the roads on Monday, 3 or 4 on Tuesday, 5 or 6 on Wednesday, 7 or 8 on Thursday, and 9 or 0 on Friday from 7:00 AM onwards to keep roads free of traffic jams. (Another reason for your wife to buy a car)
9. In South Korea, traffic policemen are required to report all bribes that they receive from motorists. (I don’t think they understand the concept of bribing)
10. In Switzerland, it is illegal to flush the toilet after 10 PM. (You have to hold till the sunshine)
1. 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?)
2. 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?)
3. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.(Much worse than ‘going blind!’)
4. 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?)
5. 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!)
6. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England – but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)
7. 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.)
8. 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?)
9. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to do things with animals that I just don’t want to write about here, however the animals must be female. Having a bit of ‘hows your father’ with a male animal is punishable by death. (Like THAT makes sense.)
10. In Maryland, USA 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 America a great country or what? Well, not as great as Guam!)
Well I suppose that you have seen at least one Facebook group or fan page mentioning 2012. What made me really surprise was that there are people who actually believe that. Not a few, many.
Since almost everyone has watched it (I didn’t. I saw the trailer and it’s full of crap to me) the concept is very popular. And after those earthquakes around the globe some people really starting to think that the movie is going to be a reality. Imagine how big it got here, there was a talk show on TV with some reputed scientists to explain that the world is not going to end in 2012. It’s just a movie.
Well that’s one side of the story. And well the other side of the story is that, aren’t those the same people who contribute to take decisions in the country? May god save us.
