News Flash: Britain's most stupid laws

Okay, I found the following from a news website on Yahoo! And It's about a national survey of some of the ridiculous laws in Britain that should be abolished soon.

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent)

--- I am like -________- So what do they do? Handcuff the corpse?

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (seven percent)

--- Understandable but quite obsolete lor. Careless mistake also treason?

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (six percent)

--- Okay. That's pretty weird. Rubbish discrimination about clothes on and clothes off.

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (five percent)

---- Christmas? I eat whatever I like. Abstinence from gluttony. No way. I need to gain more weight.

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter (four percent)

--- Hmm...interesting social grace but very dangerous if the person has ill-intentions.

6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (four percent)

--- That's so gross. Policemen to serve the public but not serve until like that ba?

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen (3.5 percent)

--- The British King and Queen during the time of legislation of that law either like whale meat or like collecting whale body parts?? Maybe ba?

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (three percent)

--- Haha..Talk about confusing laws and legistation wordings.

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (three percent)

--- Maybe they worry about assassinations or hidden weapons? Anyway, armour are smelly, heavy and really cumbersome. I tried before. I know.

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent)

--- Bow and arrow? This law is seriously outdated. Abolish it!
