Die and you're under arrest! Britain's most stupid laws
by erynw inlondon (afp) - queen elizabeth ii's speech in the british parliament tuesday may have been routine but at least nobody got bored to death.
that would have been against the law.. dying in parliament is an offence and is also by far the most absurd law in britain, according to a survey of nearly 4,000 people by a television channel showing a legal drama series.. and though the lords were clad in their red and white ermine cloaks and ambassadors from around the world wore colourful national costumes, at least nobody turned up in a suit of armour.
illegal.. other rules deemed utterly stupid included one that permits a pregnant woman to urinate in a policeman's hat and murdering bow-and-arrow-carrying scotsmen within the city walls of york, northern england.. a law stating that in liverpool, only a clerk in a tropical fish store is allowed to be publicly topless, was also ridiculous, said a poll of 3,931 people for uktv gold television out tuesday.. nearly half of those surveyed admitted to breaking the ban on eating mince pies on christmas day, which dates back to the 17th century and was originally designed to outlaw gluttony during the rule of the puritan oliver cromwell.. the laws and other regulations were culled from published research into ancient legislation that has never been repealed although subsequent statutes have rendered them obsolete.. respondents were given a shortlist and asked to vote.. most ridiculous british law:.

Just started COC, can't stop crying
by erynw ini left the wtb&ts 24 years ago after being a full time pioneer for 15 years and have never looked back.
i have no family "in" and have moved very far away from the congro i left.
no one here knows i used to be in this cult.. i experienced the usual shunning from the members of the congro i went to and from surrounding congregations (the city i lived in was big and had several khs), but it didn't last long because i moved away shortly after the "big announcement".
