Laws; those rules and standards that govern our behaviors. Most are practical, but some strike one as funny and impractical, or at the least very weird. Check out these 15 weird laws and customs in some places.


1. In Russia, you cannot brush your teeth more than twice a day.
The valetudinarian that cares too much about his teeth would run into trouble in Russia, as the law does not allow people to brush their teeth more than twice a day. How would they know if you did break this rule?

Leave that to them.


2. In Switzerland, you can not flush your toilet after 10 pm.
You wake up at midnight with a bad stomach, but you're in Switzerland. Sorry friend, the law does not allow you to flush your toilet after using it. You would have to leave the whole thing till the next morning.


3. In Toronto, Canada, you can not climb a tree.
So you love climbing trees and enjoying the view from up there? Say goodbye to your hobby the moment you get into Toronto.



4. In Argentina, you can not name your child "Messi"
There's no football fan that does not at least admire the skill of the veteran, Leonel Messi. You can show your love for him in many ways, but in Argentina, the star's hometown, you can not go as far as naming your child Messi. You would be compelled by law to change it.


5. In Mexico, there is a list of 61 names that you can not name your child.
While Argentina only bans you from using one name for your child, Mexico made a full list of 61 names that you must never name your child. The names include Batman, Hitler, Rambo, James Bond, Facebook, Twitter.


6. In Georgia, your chicken can not cross the road.
No, this is not because anyone would steal your chicken. The government of Georgia just wants you to keep your chicken out of harm and protect the public peace. Expect a fine if that rooster of yours gets bold enough to cross the road to get to the other side.



7. In Singapore, you can not chew gum.
So you cannot go a day without gnashing your teeth on that unlucky piece of gum?
You ran out of luck the instant you stepped into Singapore, for the government bans the manufacture, sale, purchase, and consumption of chewing gums.


8. In Norway, you must accept a fistfight challenge or pay a fine.
If you hate boxing, or simply do not want to put yourself in danger, then you might get into trouble in Norway. If a person challenges you to a fistfight and you decline, then the law requires you to pay a fine of four deer.

How would you get a deer? You might wonder. Relax, the law has not been practiced for decades now.


9. In Spain, you can not build castles in the sand.
Warn your kids against building Sandcastles in Spain. You would be fined if the authorities get wind of it. This law is also in place in Eraclea, Italy.


10. In Rome and Turin, you must walk your dog every day.
The Italians must care a lot about their dogs because, in two of their cities, you must take out your dogs for a walk ---Everyday.
The law is even worse in Turin, where the walk must me three times a day. That's a heck of a work. Think twice before getting a dog in these two cities.



11. In Scotland, you must let a stranger use your toilet if he knocks on your door and asks.
The Scots must be very hospitable. The old law of theirs make obliges you to allow a complete stranger to use your toilet if he knocks and asks.


12. In Huntington, West Virginia, you can beat your wife in public on Sunday.
This is perhaps the weirdest and most sexist law you have ever heard of. So long as it is in public and on a Sunday, people of Huntington can beat the crap out of their wives.

Why would they do that?
