Re: Dumb Laws
New York
A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

Mwahaha! 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 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.

This is actually a street congestion issue. We have tiny streets and either there wasn't any proper city planning at all, or they didn't foresee such a big leap in the population and the number of cars on the roads, so that is their way of reducing congestion. It has gotten so bad... one time it took us 4 hours to get home... we were about 5 minutes away if the roads were clear. Nope. One other time my uncle was stuck in the South Superhighway for sooooo long, he shut his engine off and slept right there with his car sitting on the road because nobody was moving an inch. This is supposed to be one of those hiways where you go super fast. Nope. He spent the night on the road - sleeping. |

If someone breaks into your house, and you are in possession of a firearm, you cannot shoot them, unless they enter your bedroom and you are standing outside your house.  |
