7 Insane Laws That Actually Exist

Whether it's school rules or national legislation, there are A LOT of dumb laws out there. Let's take a look at a couple...

7. Elephants Are Not Allowed On Beaches In France


 Really!? We need to make legislation for elephants? Poor France. I know that my beach-experience would definitely be worsened without some majestic elephants walking around.

The Reason? Apparently, France has a big problem with circus elephants going to the beach and pooping…sometimes, on top of people. 

6. Bingo Games Cannot Be Longer Than 5 Hours In North Carolina 


Because those darn old people look so suspicious playing their secretive bingo games (I mean, come on - What kind of creature actually enjoys playing bingo?), North Carolina has made it against the law to play too much bingo.

The Reason? 1) It's freaking North Carolina. What did you expect? 2) There actually is worry about the gambling that goes on between old people at bingo! Apparently, the grannies get physical over lost bets! 

5. It Is Against the Law In Thailand to Step On Money 

All of the bills and coins in Thailand have King Bhumibol (pleas read as Bum-ee-bowl for maximum humour) on them. SInce his majesty is so amazing and awesome and untouchable, it is actually very disrespectful and even illegal to step on his face.

Man, maybe I should't have bought all of that King Bhumibol toilet paper…Oh well, you have to wipe with something, right? 

4. Russia Proposes Law To Make It Illegal For Mass Media To Swear 

This might even be (theoretically) expanded to ban swear words on most of the internet! Well, holy f***ing sh*t, what in the name of all things f***ed up will us c***-******* pieces of god-forsaken ******* do for some **?!145**%?

You know what I mean? 

The Reason? I don't know…Putin was having a bad day or something? 

3. It Is Illegal To Shoot A Moose From An Airplane In Alaska 


That…is oddly specific. A lot of game hunting goes on in Alaska though, and I guess you can't aim very well from a plane! 

2. Every Kentucky Citizen Must Take A Bath At Least Once A Year 

Let's just say I'm lucky that I don't live in Kentucky…

The Reason? Got to put those bath tubs to use! 

1. Chickens Must Lay Eggs Before 8:00 a.m. in Virginia


Think of the pressure! Oh man, would I hate to be a Virginian chicken! Poor guys probably roll out of bed at 7:00 and then are told that they have to plop out some omelettes in an hour or so. I wonder if they have a special jail for poultry in Virginia…

The Reason? We can't just let these chickens run willy-nilly on us! We have to show them who's boss…by forcing them to poop at certain times of the day…seems logical.

How Big Is a Million, Billion and Trillion?

Millons, billions, trillions - we've heard it all, but do we really understand them? Most people know that a trillion is bigger than a million for example, but just how big is the difference really? How about we find out!? Time  Here'a a neat exercise. Without doing any math or calculations, I want you to try to guess how long it was 1 million seconds ago….Okay, got a number in your head? The answer is: 11. 52 days  Hmmm…interesting. But here's the better part. Now that you know how long it was 1 million seconds ago, I want you to guess at how long it was a billion seconds ago…Got it? What did you guess? A month or two? Well, it turns out the answer is: 32 years  Wow! I don't know about you, but I really underestimated that one. If you're under 32, that means you haven't even existed for a billion seconds…and yet, a million seconds was less than two weeks ago. Okay, now that we know that, let's do the same for a trillion. Take a guess…The answ...

6 Weird Animal Defence Mechanisms

There are approximately 8.7 million species on Earth! With that big of a number, you're bound to find some very interesting ones with some very peculiar methods of defending themselves. Humans may have guns and weapons, but most people have nothing on these guys… 6. Frog Breaks Its Own Bones To Stab Enemies  When threatened by predators, a particular type of frog, commonly known as the "Hairy Frog", uses quite the unorthodox method indeed. It has the ability (and audacity) to break its own toe bones  and then push them out of his skins. This frog will then use these sharp bones sticking out its feet as little swords to stab its enemy. Some scientists believe that the frog is able to bring the bones back into his body for healing with its muscles…either way, this frog is pretty crazy.  5. Opossums Play Dead…For Real! We've all heard of the old trick of "playing dead". You're supposed to lay there, secretly pretending to be dead until yo...

8 Arguments Against A Personal God

In this article, I'm going to outline a few "arguments" (they're more like things that seem to contradict a personal god or that make its existence illogical, but whatever) against the existence of a "personal god". But first, what is a personal god? Well, when people say they believe in a god, they mean very different things. Some believe in a deistic god (i.e. some sort of greater force that essentially pushed the start button for the universe, but plays no role in anything after that - he's basically not really there). I am NOT arguing against this kind (maybe in another piece…). The type of god I'm arguing against is the type that I think most "religious" people believe in. These are a list of criteria that make a personal god (in my opinion): Assumptions : 1. This god personally cares about human affairs  2. This god can experience emotions (ex. he "loves" you and "cares" about you)  2. This god created t...
