Lets head down under, Tiddles roots are planted there, coming from down under I thought I would look up some of their silly and dumb laws, like all the countries and states I have mentioned in the past, Australia has some of their own also many many years old that need a little updating, lets take the first one for example, them move on to the silly and just bizarre.
1, You must have a neck to knee swimsuit in order to swim at Brighton Beach.
2, It is technically illegal to copy music from CDs you own onto your MP3 player or iPod... (technically illegal? and my ex is technically an arsehole but what can you do?)
3, It is illegal to read someone's tarot, or give them a psychic reading as these are forms of witchcraft.
4, Until the Port Arthur Killings it was legal to own an AK-47 but not legal to be gay.
5, It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar. (maybe soon illegal to wear miniskirts as it is the known clothing of a street worker)
6, It is illegal to walk on the right hand side of a footpath. (as it should be ~rolls eyes)
7, Under Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations, a modem can’t pick up on the first ring.
8, Only licensed electricians may change a light bulb. (how many Aussies does it take to change a light bulb? obviously one and he has to be licensed)
9, Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons. (what about the poor asses? obviously I mean donkeys!)
10,It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday. (this should be illegal everywhere in the world, every day of the week!)

Dumb law day (CA style)
It is time to start with some of the stated of America starting with California
1. It is prohibited to sleep in a parked vehicle.
2. One may not bring their dog to school. (explain this to a blind person)
3. It is illegal to own a green or smelly animal hide.
4. Bowling on the sidewalk is illegal. (why?)
5. Driving a herd of cattle down a street is against the law. (Mooooo)
6. It is illegal to spit, except on baseball diamonds.
7. You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows.
8. City Council order reads: “No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash. (I think this typo needs to be fixed that or the BDSM community is using it to its fullest)
9. Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool. (though it is a great party trick!)
10. No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. (but officer)

Dumb law day (Switzerland)
Here is dub laws again, today I am picking the country of the "Band/Artist of the week" which is Switzerland. I have to say it was very hard to find 10 Dumb laws.
1. In Switzerland every citizen is required by law to have access to a bomb shelter.
2. In Basle, Switzerland, in 1471, a cockerel was found guilty in a court of law for laying an egg “In defiance of natural law”. The bird was then burnt at the stake as a “Devil in disguise”.
3. At one time it was against the law to slam car doors in Switzerland.
4. In Switzerland it is against the law for men to urinate standing up after 10pm which is the same time that it is illegal to flush the toilet.
Switzerland
5. You may not wash your car on a Sunday.
6. It is required that every car with snow tires has to have a sticker on its dashboard which tells that the driver should not drive faster than 160 km/h with these tires. (Repealed 1999) However the highest speed allowed on national motorways is 120 km/h.
7. If you forget you car-keys inside the car and you leave the car open, you will be punished.
8. Clothes may not be hung to dry on Sunday.
9. It is considered an offense to mow your lawn on a Sunday, because it causes too much noise.
10. Though it is illegal to produce, store, sell and trade absinth (special alcohol), it is legal to consume it.

Dumb law day
While going with the flow and seeing how this blog comes a long I have decided that Monday will be "Dumb law day"
Seeing my Guest Blogger is from The United Kingdom I decided to do 10 Dumb laws in England.
1, No cows may be driven down the roadway between 10 AM and 7 PM unless there is prior approval from the Commissioner of Police.
2, Divorces are outlawed. (makes you wonder huh?)
3, In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet.
4, It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.
5, It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down
6, It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (I wonder what the punishment is, death maybe?)
7, All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.
8, It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises (in a pub or bar).
9, It is illegal for two adult men to have sex in the same house as a third person.
10, The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen
