Just in case you need more proof that we live in a crazy world
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 organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick??)
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
(…so they’ll never know they went 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.
(Now this is 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 as Guam!)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for this stuff?)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hummm….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…? Wonder how much the the govt.
paid for this relevant bit of research??)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez)
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)

So… Could one get a work permit in Guam to take up this illustrious position, or does one have to be a citizen? Never mind… I think I’ll just go and find out for myself!

While cute, many of these are untrue or unremarkable. For example, the strongest muscle in the human body is the jaw, not the tongue, and nearly every animal in the ocean lacks a brain (sorry starfish, you are not special). Check your sources and always question what you read on the internet.

Yeah, the guam thing would probably suck — it’d be all the ugly girls. Why would pretty ones do a guy for money when there would be plenty around to choose from for free?
Oh, and seriously, I doubt that one’s even true.
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:43 pm
NO offence redrum, but the tounge is actually the strongest muscle, and the jaw, it isn’t even a muscle, it’s a freaking bone.
And true on the starfish, it does have a brain, while it being less then .3% of the mass of the whole animal.
August 23rd, 2008 at 9:51 pm
I believe it said starfish don’t have brains, not star fish are the only animal without brains.
The jaw can exert the most pressure, but as far as strongest for it’s size it is the lounge. So technically you are correct…the best kind of correct.

The tongue is made up of four muscles, you know.
If one muscle had to be the strongest, it would probably be the heart, but it’s an involuntary muscle.
It almost certainly depends in different people.
August 23rd, 2008 at 10:49 pm
These are funny ideas, but almost entirely not true. I wish people would think to look things up before passing on false information as fact.
August 24th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Any business with a liquor license should be required to sell condoms,
August 25th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Lighten up people, its supposed to be amusing, not a masters dissertation.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Your little comments after each “fact” is annoying. Just stfu and post the info.

I doubt the women in Guam are joyfully paying the men to have sex with them. Given the area’s reputation for sexual slavery, it doesn’t sound consensual. It has been documented as rape, and a girl’s parents pay for it.

the liverpudlian topless tropical fish sales women, is… false. there is no law on this at all. whether you made it up for laughs… unknown. but the rest are funny as hell
