Proof that the world is nuts

Peace,

Don't know if you have seen this one before, but here goes:

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. (Like THAT makes sense.)

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals,
but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination.
He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (Do they look different
reversed?)

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 piece of wood at all times. (A brick?? OUCH...)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Much
worse than going blind!)

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. (Let's just think for a minute; is
there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)

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. (Ah!
Justice!)

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

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. (Makes one shudder at the thought.)

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a
woman and her daughter at the same time. (I presume this was a big
enough problem that they had to pass this law?)

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�. Is this a great country or what? (Not as great as
Guam!)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Who
volunteers for this stuff anyway?)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for
pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hummm....I won't
touch THAT one! But I bet you I know what you're thinking...)

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 govt. pay for this research??)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (Ah, geez)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people
like that.)
Starfish don't have brains. (Again, I know some people like that
too)

And, the best for last.....

Turtles can breathe through their butts. (Do you suppose they
might have bad breath?)
Peace

Thank you Shakur...

Sheds a little light on my experience with dolphin's.
I was swimming with some dolphins down in the Florida Keys and had to leave the water when one of the males became enamored with me.
