+---------- Bizarre Laws From Around the World ------------+
In England, any person found breaking a boiled egg at the
sharp end will be sentenced to 24 hours in the village
stocks.
Also in England, it is illegal to stand within one hundred
yards of the reigning monarch when not wearing socks.
In Scotland, it is illegal to be a drunk in possession of
a cow.
In Singapore, if you are convicted of littering three
times, you will have to clean the streets on Sundays with
a bib on saying,"I am a litterer." This will then be
broadcasted on the local news.
In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself while
standing up, after 10 P.M.
In Australia, under Australian Communications Authority
(ACA) regulations, a modem can't pick up on the first
ring. If it does, the ACA permit for your modem is invalid
and there's a $12,000 fine.
