14 Strange Laws From Around The World by Prodigee: 2:29am On Mar 12, 2013
You'll be surprised by how easy it is to land
yourself in hot water in some countries:
1. In Barcelona it is against the law to wear a bikini, swimming trunks or to go bare-chested on the streets.
2. In China, it is against the law to reincarnate
without government permission.
3. In Singapore, you will be fined for chewing gum on the Mass Rapid Transit (MTR) system.
4. It is an offence to sit on steps/courtyards or to eat and drink in the immediate vicinity of churches and public buildings in Florence.
5. It is illegal to die in the House of Parliament in London. Because it is a Royal Palace, you are
technically entitled to a state funeral.
6. In the Netherlands you can smoke cannabis in public places, but not tobacco.
7. Until 2002, Brazilian men had ten days to annul their marriage if they discovered their wife wasn't a virgin.
8. In Saudi Arabia you must carry a doctor’s
prescription for any medication you have with you.
9. In the UK, a pregnant woman can relieve herself anywhere she wants, even a policeman's helmet.
10. In Barbados, it is an offence for anyone,
including children, to dress in camouflage clothing.
11. You may be detained or arrested if you use
binoculars near an airport in Egypt.
12. In Nigeria it is illegal to import beer, mineral
water, soft drinks, sparkling wine and fruits.
13. In Finland, your traffic fine is calculated
according to your income.
14. In Samoa, it's a crime to forget your wife's
birthday.

In Nigera it is henceforth a crime to do business with a known scammer. So avoid 4everGod1 aka bbfever aka Samuel Ekwueme if you dont want to get scammed.
