Friday Fun Facts: 10 Crazy Laws in Europe 1. In the UK, it is against the law to die in the Houses of Parliament. (Ummmm... Do they arrest the corpse? If so, I wonder if a corpse has ever been charged with resisting arrest?) 2. In Denmark, if a horse drawn carriage is trying to pass a car and the horse becomes uneasy, the driver of the car is required to pull over and if necessary, cover the car. (I think Id get a new car if a horse drawn carriage got impatient enough to attempt to pass me... just sayin) 3. In Switzerland, men are not to relieve themselves standing up after 10 pm. It is also forbidden to flush the toilet after 10 pm. (So in an emergency, potty like a girl just dont flush!) 4. Also in Switzerland, on Sundays it is forbidden to hang clothes to dry outside, mow your lawn, or wash your car. (Basically, if you are in Switzerland, to keep on the safe side, don’t do anything on Sundays) 5. In France, no pig may be addressed as Napoleon by its owner. (OK!) 6. In France it is also illegal to take photos of police officers or police vehicles, even if they are just in the background. (If you get arrested for taking pictures of the police, I suggest you not address the po-po as Napoleon.) 7. In Italy, men in skirts may get arrested. (Key word here is MAY. I guess it depends on............idk) 8. In Sweden, you will be fined if you try selling a flag with something written or painted on it. (They only TRY to sell the white flag of surrender?) 9. In Greece, all electronic games are forbidden. They wanted to simply ban internet gambling, but since the government could not distinguish between gambling games and harmless internet chess, all games became banned. (If you need Candy Crush rehab, please visit Greece) 10. In Germany, it is illegal for a car to run out of gas on the Autobahn. (Be responsible while driving 200 mph!) :)
