Joke: The Top 10 Weirdest laws In The World
Alright, guys. I know you guys are just bored in having only Video Game-related content. Hence, here is something for you. It’s not exactly a joke, but it’s a bizarre kind of thing that’s happening in the world. It’s a top ten list of the weirdest laws in the world. Ok, actually, some of them are sex-related. You’ve been forewarned, though. Here you go:
Number 10: Most Middle Eastern countries recognize the following Islamic law: “After having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh.” (Oh, really? Having sex with a lamb is legal but eating it after that is not? Woah.)
Number 9: In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death. (I don’t think animals enjoy gay sex…)
Number 8: In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals, but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (No really, what’s the difference here?)
Number 7: Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or a piece of wood at all times. (…a brick? Ouch.)
Number 6: The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is capitation. (Hmm…)
Number 5: There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (The best job in the world? Or the worst?)
Number 4: 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, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (This is cool!)
Number 3: Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England, but only in tropical fish stores. (Woah)
Number 2: In Santa Cruz, Bolivia it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. (Is this problem really that serious?)
Number 1: In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (No way! I would be a virgin if I was Columbian…)
Alright, I do presume you have enjoyed it. You can also read my comments and opinions in the brackets beside each weird law. So, what are your opinions? What would you have done if you were borned in those unfortunate countries (or fortunate, in some cases)? Well, I really wonder if anybody has even protested to abolish those weird laws? I really have no idea.

These are funny. #5 is an urban myth and not true. You can look it up on the net. It’s a great story though.
