15) If you find yourself in London, make sure not to break the 1986 Salmon Act that says handling salmon in suspicious circumstances is illegal.

16) In 2005, Ignacio Jimenez, a mayor of Icononzo, a town in Colombia, passed a law under which, badmouthing was illegal. He argued that waggling tongues could be the difference between life and death for residents of the city, thanks to ongoing warfare between Marxist rebels and far-right paramilitary outlaws.

10) If you want to visit Milan, make sure to smile all the time. The Italian metropolis has imposed a ban on frowning. The city states that it is a legal requirement to smile at all times, except during funerals or hospital visits. Grouches who dare to break this regulation can face a fine.

Nice one miss Lanicky.

In Melbourne, Australia, vacuuming your house between 10 pm and 7 am during weekdays and 10 pm and 9 am during the weekends is against the law.

So I can't clean my house anytime I want ba?

6) China is notorious for its tendency to control things in Tibet but the law that the Chinese government passed in 2007 was just beyond absurd. According to the law, it's illegal for the Tibetan monks to reincarnate without the government´s permission weird isn't it?

the absurdity of this law is both amusing and bizarre!

The U.S. is not the only country that has imposed a ban on some weird stuff. From wearing noisy shoes and leaving elephants on the beach to die.

Check out some strange things banned around the world: *grab your popcorn* wink

1) In Victoria, the second most populous state of Australia, you are not allowed to change a light bulb unless you are a licensed electrician. Those who don't comply can face a fine of up to 10 Australian dollars.


2) Lanjarón, Spain, there was a certain time period during which it was illegal to die. The town´s 4,000 inhabitants were to stay alive until the government was able to buy land and build a new cemetery. The unusual law was mostly received with humor among both the politicians as well as the citizens. grin


3) In the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, driving a dirty car is against the law. If you drive a car that is not clean enough, you can get fined up to 2000 rubles (currently around 30 American dollars).

This is wrong. It is not illegal to change light bulbs in Victoria. It's only illegal to do your own electrical work.

This can't be true because we watch A.C. Milan and Inter.Milan's football matches and all play in Milan.We see many frowns all over the years and the red card being given.
No one receives red card by smiling because its too gross a situation.
If you had known a player called GATTUSO you will not believe this.than man never smiles and executing people all over the pitch is his prime mission.



MARIO BALOTELLI never smiles and played for both 2 Milan clubs
