Exhausted

22 08 2007

I’m so tired, these 7:30am starts are wearing me out.  At least next week at work should be slightly better hours.

It’s wednesday, that means there’s actually a few things on TV tonight.

The IT Crowd series 2 comes out on Friday. No I’m not in the UK, and yes I will be downloading it. Then watching it on TV here. And then buying the DVD, while recommending it to everyone I know.

Nearly finished downloading the latest Diggnation episode, that should kill some time.

100 of the World’s Strangest Laws

19 08 2007

Here is a list of the world’s most ridiculous laws… no wonder lawyers earn so much!

Some of my favorites:

  • In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
  • In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed
  • In Providence, Rhode Island, USA, it is still illegal for shop owners to sell toothpaste and toothbrushes to the same customer on a Sunday.
  • In Oklahoma, USA, it is still illegal to make faces at a dog, a crime that could result in a prison sentence.
  • In Texas, USA, criminals are still required to give their victims at least 24 hours oral or written notice giving details of the crime they are about to commit.
  • Until 1984 Belgians were made to choose their children’s names from a list of 1500 drawn up in the days of Napoleon.
