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 illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores.
(But of course!) :confused:

In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises."

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for this stuff?) Should be added to the SoWell for SoWal thread

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of ?)
(Did the government pay for this research??) :confused:

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.) :lol:

And, the best for last
Turtles can breathe through their butts.

Those are funny "factoids," but are they Snopes-checked?
I am anal enough to ask the question, but too lazy to look them up. ;-)
Actually I think I may have heard that turtle stuff before. Maybe certain species of turtles, or something like that.

"Turtles have extraordinary anaerobic capacity--they have survived up to 33 hours in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. (Most reptiles have a high anaerobic capacity compared to mammals, but even they can't survive much more than 30 minutes without oxygen.) Although basically air-breathing, many aquatic species have developed ways to pick up oxygen even when submerged. Of these the most remarkable, which some turtles share with dragonfly nymphs, sea cucumbers, and certain televangelists, is the ability to breathe through one's butt. You've heard the expression ?Blow it out your after regions?? It's no mere figure of speech. Many species have a pair of sacs (bursae) opening off the cloaca (combined digestive and urogenital chamber). These are heavily vascularized to facilitate the uptake of oxygen.

Hmmm, :scratch: Blow it out after your regions. I likey. I think I'll use it.

This reminds me of another fav word...nether regions. Is that a word, or did I just make it up?

I've always heard that too...googled it.....oh yeah, it's a real word...

Located beneath or below; lower or under: the nether regions of the earth

And, then there's the urban dictionary definition.....go there only if you must!

OK, we'll change it to blow it your nether regions and go there only if you must. Bless your heart.
