Here's two that I didn't know:
Mr. T is actually homosexual.

You're such an extreme case of imbecility that I'm sure they'd re-instate it just to keep me safe from marrying you  I think it's still illegal to sell alcohol on Sunday here, too |

The way it used to be: before you get your lisence, you have your permit for at least six months (four if you take driver's ed), and you drive with other people in the car who've had a lisence for more than four years. Now, this new law says that you can't drive with more than one person for the first six months you have your lisence, EVER. And for the first three months, they have to have had their lisence for more than four years. It's stupid AND unenforceable! Nice to see the tax dollars at work, yep... |

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you

A cockroach will live nine days without its head

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an

Within a 10 mile stretch, the price of a pint of beer varies by £7 ($12); Norway heavily tax their beer as drink driving was a huge problem over there; however, across the border in Sweden, they sell it very cheaply due to the money it brings the economy through advertising and a general monopoly on the Scandanavian alcohol market (partially due to Norway)... ...the economy if particularly boosted from travelling Norwegians... ...good on them |
