INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY - Page 64 - SV650.org

In the UK:

It's illegal to eat a mince pie on christmas day!

It's also illegal to be drunk on any licenced premesis (bar or pub etc).

It is also illegal to leave baggage unattended, and picking up someone else's lost luggage is an act of terrorism.

Punching someone is an offence that carries a maximum sentence of 5 years.

Until three months ago, you could be sentenced to death in the UK for posting a letter. This is because placing a postage stamp that depicts the reigning monarch, upside down on the envelope, is considered treason. Until 3 months ago, treason was punishable by death!

Dodgeball is illegal in New York, since it's illegal to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.

Happy friday folks!

I'm fairly sure it's technically illegal to be drunk, full stop.

this is also true for stealing a new forest pony, but what people seem to not realize is that the death penalty was abolished.....well i dont know when, so even if you were to commit "treason" or steal a pony you would only go down for it!!! you life would remain!!
but one thing that you can still get killed for is showing a skull and crossbones flag on a boat/ship whilst at sea, the navy still have the right to blow you out of the water, not that they would but there is nothing stopping them do that at all!!!!

it might also interest you to know that, all you Scotsman out there it is still legal to shoot a Welshman on a sunday(i think) with a longbow!!! cant get done for that.

and whilst on the topic i think it is illegal to feed you cat on a sunday in your front garden in germany, but at the same time it is legal to run down and kill a sausage dog on a sunday in germany!! (i am still not sure whether to believe this one but you never know!!!)

27th September 1999, Jack Straw signed the 6th protocol of the European Convention of Human Rights, this abolished the death penalty.

My previous post relied on information from my boss being accurate. Who can guess the mistake I made there?

Luckily, race discrimination laws mean that anything I can do to a Welshman, I can do to anyone else

Anyone got a longbow? And a book that'll teach me how to shoot a longbow? And possibly some weights, so that I can bulk up enough that I can draw a longbow?
