On yer bike!
Did you know that in London it is illegal to have sex
on a parked motorcycle? Or that showing a naked mannequin to a boy

some of those dished out in other countries.
some of those dished out in other countries.
Australia
Australia is one country you don't want to break the
law in. The current life sentence is 200 years. It is illegal to read
someone's tarot, or give them a psychic reading as these are forms of
witchcraft. Bizarrely, it also illegal to dress up like Batman down under.
Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to
kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The
husband's lover may be killed in any manner desired.
Italy
Pinching a passing girl's bottom is perfectly legal in
Italy. However, if an Italian man is caught wearing a skirt, he'll be thrown
in jail faster than you can say Pavarotti.

France
Between the hours of 8AM and 8PM, 70% of the music on
the radio must be by French musicians. It is also illegal in France to sell
'E.T' dolls or name a pig Napoleon.
Germany
In Germany, women who refuse to work as prostitutes
risk having their benefits stopped. Prostitution was legalised in
Germany in 2003, and is now regarded as a normal occupation.
