DID YOU KNOW?
In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed
to have sex without a permit.
So who goes around explaining it to them? And where do they register for a licence?
Did you know in Illinois that you have to have atleast one dollar in your pocket or you could be arrested?

Here is some crazy Canadian laws with my comments in ( ).
[DIV class=lawentry]Comic books which depict any illegal acts are banned. (so no baddies can't rob banks?)

[DIV class=lawentry]You may not pay for a fifty-cent item with only pennies. (If you 50 pennies on hand you need your brain checked)
[DIV class=lawentry]Citizens may not publicly remove bandages. (ouch!)
[DIV class=lawentry]It is illegal for clear or non-dark sodas to contain caffeine. (is that true?) (odd)
[DIV class=lawentry]Businesses must provide rails for tying up horses.
[DIV class=lawentry]Wooden logs may not be painted. (So if I have a log house I can't paint it red?)
[DIV class=lawentry]You may never use dice to play craps.
[DIV class=lawentry]If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town. (That's got to be bullshit)
[DIV class=lawentry]When raining, a person may not water his/her lawn. (Now that makes sense, really, stop wasting water)
[DIV class=lawentry]It is illegal to turn right on a red light at any time. (That only applies in Quebec, I know that one)
[DIV class=lawentry]Margarine producers can't make their margarine yellow. (huh?)
[DIV class=lawentry]All business signs in the province of Quebec must be in French. (Dumb law, seriously dumb, Quebecers are going to speak french now matter what, so it shouldn't matter if a sign is in english.)
[DIV class=meta_bar][img height=2 src="http://www.dumblaws.com/laws/international/canada/images/spacer.gif"]

[DIV class=lawentry]Bylaw states that no more than 3. (huh?)
[DIV class=lawentry]If you have a water trough in your front yard it must be filled by 5:00 a. (okay)
[DIV class=lawentry]Homeowners are responsible for clearing snow off of municipal sidewalks. (isn't everybody?)
[DIV class=lawentry]The city is classified as a no-pee zone. (apparently pooping is okay in downtown east side)
[DIV class=lawentry]The color of house and garage doors is regulated by city bylaws (a purple door get you a fine). (Hah, thats a funny one)
[DIV class=lawentry]You can't work on your car in the street. (Who does, thats what a drive way is for)
[DIV class=lawentry]It's illegal to climb trees. (No fun law, no wonder kids are on the computer constantly.)
[DIV class=lawentry] [/DIV]
In the city of Chester (England) it is still perfectly legal to slay a Welshman found within the city limits without good reason. (This dates from the times when the Welsh were thought of much in the same way that New Mexico must have thought of Apache Indians, and for the same reasons).
The only exception: it's illegal to kill a Welshman in the city in a church ground on a Sunday.
I guess they don't get many tourists from Wales!
I believe they get hundreds, if not thousands every day. Chester is right on the border and the Welsh go there en masse on Saturday evenings for the night life.
With that law, if it were to be enforced, the Welsh would BE the Saturday night entertainment.
Wait till you get to Alabama where: 1) It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle, and 2) it is illegal to wear a false moustache that causes laughter in church.
Also in Alabama - You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.
-
And in Ohio it is illegal to get a fish drunk, and in Texas it is illegal to milk another person's cow.
In Connecticut - You may not educate dogs. A high proportion of stupid dogs there.
In North Dakota it is illegal to lie down and fall asleep without your shoes on.
A couple of laws from Liverpool.
- It is illegal for a woman to be topless in public except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.
- Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked mannequin.

LOL - this is the best one of all!(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/11.gif)
Tropical fish must be very popular there.
Does this mean that boys under 10 are not allowed in tropical fish stores?
In Minnesota - - A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head.
- Citizens may not enter Wisconsin with a chicken on their head.
Why would anyone want to?
Someone must, or they wouldn't have made the laws.
Just strikes me as an odd choice in head coverings.
Well, think of what women wore on their hats in the early years of the twentieth century - everything but the Christmas dinner!
Only if they are served by mannequins. Topless people are okay.
Wouldn't it be a bit cold at Christmas?
Maybe not for the shoppers. And there would be plenty of warming offers.
Bring back those hats, I say!
What kind of hat was it? A wabbit-stalker?
Hmm! I wonder what the REAL name for that style was? The cornucopeia?
I have no idea. I must leave now. I got an urgent message from my client so chat later. Have a good day.
Interesting. I didn't know dogs and cats can have sex with one another. *ba-dam-ba-dam drum playing *

Is this why I couldn't seem to find Mountain Dew up there? Or is it just not as popular?
A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
Slightly longer than some people I've known!

If dogs and cats made love to one another, I shudder to think of the outcome............ *just kidding - I know what you mean*
"Cigarette lighters were invented before matches" - apparently a true fact stated in The Streets' "War of the Sexes". A great song that gets stuck in my head now everytime I hear or read the phrase "did you know?"
Did you know that there are no less than ten threads on this board which are devoted to Paris Hilton?
We can never get enough of Paris Hilton. She is taking over news of Anna Nicole Smith! Woah, a lady who can win over a dead women in terms of publicity has true YES TRUE, talent!

Did you know that 53% of Icelanders believe in elves?
Intelligent people!
The word 'samba' means to rub navels together.
(http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/3.gif) Really???
Yes, really - and furthermore did you know (you should do) that cat's urine glows under a black light
I forgot to buy a black light to learn that. Serious omission with a feline emission.
Benjamin Franklin invented electricity by rubbing cats backwards.
rofl wierd al.
I think that's also how this was invented.....although I could be wrong.

Hmmm....I don't think he invented the red X.
Ben Franklin wrote a book about how to seduce older women.

Say WHAT!!!!!
I'm afraid it's true.
really?
Really.
Imagine designers' dilemmas if we did too!
That's worth a ponder.
I see a lot of chiffon.
Or lace? I'm left wondering where a burka wearer would place her veil.
So many things to consider. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c024.gif" border=0]
Did you know that penguins can jump as high as 6 feet in the air?
WITH their tuxedos on? That's impressive.

Amazing little critters. They're so cute.
If I was standing on an iceberg in my bare feet I'd jump too!
did you here about the 'giant pegiuns' apparently they liked warmer weather.
Aren't those the ones that are located off the coast of South Africa?
Nope this:

I read that this week. Fascinating.
Did you know that today is Live For Today day!!!
That sounds like a good plan. I had already made plans to live, so today seems like a good time to start.
Congratulations on celebrating it - give it your all!
Allez, chaton.
The tongue of a mature blue whale has approximately the same mass as that of an entire elephant.
Did you know that cats will purr loudly when in pain? The vibrations act as pain suppressors.
hmm tigger did purr a lot when he was going through those couple of months where he almost died. But then again he purrs constantly.
