Something that I got in an Email that I thought was kind of interesting :o)

PROOF THAT THE WORLD IS NUTS!


In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals
must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by
death. (Like THAT makes sense.)

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?)

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also
applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the de! ceased must be covered with a brick
or piece of wood at all times. (A brick??)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Much worse than
"going blind!")

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?)

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 lover, on the other
hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah! Justice!)

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical
fish stores. (But of course!)

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.)

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?)

In Maryland, 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 this
a great country or what? Not as great a! s Guam!)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Who volunteers
for this stuff?)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmm. . . I won't touch
THAT one!)

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight
and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little
bottles of...? Did the government pay for this research??)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain. (I know some people like that)

Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that too)

And, the best for last. . . .! . Turtles can breathe through their butts. (Do
you think they have bad breath?)
