I 'm glad you mentioned Canada. When I was a boy in the 1960's there was a T.V. show titled "This is the Law." A actor would play in a short film where he broke one law. There was a panel of guests who had to guess which law was being broken - such as it is illegal to sell a painted wooden ladder, or you are not allowed to wash you car on the streets during winter in Winnipeg. I have been trying to find some of those shows.
In Denmark there is a law, which is technically still in effect. (paraphrased) it states that if a Swede walks across the ice in Øresund, any Dane is allowed to beat him with a stick. The law comes from when Denmark and Sweden were at war, and there was a particularly hard winter, which caused Øresund to freeze over, making it possible for the Swedish army to just walk over to Denmark. So a law was put in place that it was perfectly legal for a Dane to beat any Swede, who walked across Øresund, with a stick.

Recently a strange By-law was actually activated in London UK, when they had to lower hay bales down from a bridge in London. It sounds strange, but there is reason for it. The bridge in question was undergoing maintenance and the stands the workers had to be on to do the work were low enough to affect how much headroom boats would have. But the river was still open to boats so they were still passing under it. As a result, the by-law was triggered and they had to lower Hay bales over the bridge. The point is that it serves as a warning to oncoming boats that there's less headroom. I wonder if they can use something other than hay bales in the modern age? since the by-law has been around for hundreds of years apparently

If I may, I work in a general goods shop in the UK and we serve alcohol. The rule is: If they appear to be intoxicated, stumbling, slurred speech, etc, then it is illegal to serve them. You don't get done if it's done a few times, not everyone is the same drunk and if you cannot tell (you do learn to tell as time goes on). But it's more along the lines of: If they are very clearly drunk. Then you get in trouble and risk losing the liquor license.
@@phdoodle5 Actually it makes a lot of sense if you think about why. The US has the same law. While there are many reasons given, one is because businesses don't want to be sued.

And they would actually win their cases because apparently some judges are okay with people refusing to accept responsibility for for themselves and their actions, smh.

When I was a teen back in the 70's a buddy of mine who was being harassed by the local cops was convicted for transporting sand on Sunday. He had offered a ride to a pack of teen girls from the beach. Of course there was sand in the bed of his truck. The laws were called Blue Laws passed back in the 1700's in colonial times...
I have seen a picture used in a tumbnail of Japanese shoolgirls with their panties down to their ankles. Apperantly the school uniform rules include a rule about the colour of those paties and that, (of course), has to be verified in an inspection...

Controversial Fact: Christmas is actually NOT originally a Christian festival, but it actually originated from the Pagan festival of Saturnalia from the Roman Empire. The reason why this became a Christian festival is because to entice the nature worshiping Pagans. So if you are a true Christian, don't celebrate Christmas because you are celebrating a Pagan festival. Edit: And also the Bible and Jesus didn't say anything about the date of December 25th being the date where Jesus is born.
I believe scripture says "The shepherds abided their flocks by night." That is done during lambing season---in the spring. Someone determined Christ was actually born on or about March 27th. (Xmas season was also the feast of Baal, an ancient Egyptian deity. Michael Medved did an interesting radio presentation of the origins of the holiday and its traditions).
It was also illegal in the 26 US states for quite some time to sell margarine colored yellow. It used to come with no coloring, and a little packet of yellow coloring you had to knead into the margarine. Again, the dairy lobby in the US was responsible.
really enjoyed this video, it's fascinating to learn about these bizarre laws! but honestly, I think some of these laws reflect a pretty strange sense of justice that doesn't really hold up today. like, how did anyone think those were a good idea? makes you wonder about what other ridiculous laws might still be on the books now, right?

In New Jersey and most of Oregon, you cannot pump your own gas, an attendant must do it. In NJ, it went back to just after WWII when gas stations were 'full service' with attendants and a guy opened up a gas station with self-service and a price about 2 cents a gallon cheaper (gas was about 21 cents a gallon then). Full service station owners bribed the state legislature to ban self-serve.

While Coco Chanel didn’t invent trousers she did popularize them as a fashion garment. She would wear what she called beach pajamas which she wore while vacationing on the Fr. Riviera. She drew her inspiration from sailors pants and paired them with sleeveless tops. They were considered risqué because of their association with the bedroom. She was definitely a fashion icon whose amazing clothing was a favorite of Princess Diana. Unfortunately her favorite designer also came with the unfortunate initial logo of a pair of intertwined “C’s.” Because of the obvious C & C association of her husband and his hussy, Princess D had all Coco Chanel labels removed from her clothing except one. She kept one logo (maybe a button, a clasp on a purse, a small label somewhere, etc.) I believe it was out of respect for the designer. Don’t remember the actual reason. I read it a while ago and don’t remember for sure. I just remember reading she removed almost everything on her clothing and would have a seamstress find buttons or whatever, that were similar to what she had and replace them. I’m not sure I would have done all that. Seems like it’s letting C2 win the war. (C2 is Camilla. Chuck is the first C in the pair. I made that up). But we each do what we have to do! Got all that info from articles so if stuff is incorrect it’s not my fault. Slam the OP if you have a problem with it. Well ghere are 2 thoughts now. One is she never wore the Chanel line again, another says she did but had the labels removed. I’m going with the second.

Actually Egypt rules were right. Why should budget waste any cent on criminals when they could work and earn the food they get. Locking up doesn’t fix criminals. There is no rehabilitation at all so after sentence most of criminals come out as same criminals without getting changed. So won’t it be better to use the budget on education instead of prisons?
Here in America if someone is convicted of a major crime, then they should have to make sand and gravel from boulders. There were less violent crimes when we had chain gangs and the death penalty

The salt on railways was also used by criminals to force a train to greatly slow down and even stop to avoid hitting cows, buffaloes and similar, making the stain an easy target.

Also in Virginia, it's illegal to have bathtubs in the house. This law was originally made to prevent disease from spreading. A lot of these are blue laws and they don't take them off the books because it gives them an excuse to persecute the undesirables.
According to The Fact Site, and only in York, (Yorkshire, England) the law states that it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with a crossbow upon seeing one, except for on Sundays. However, any Scotsman caught drunk or with a weapon can still be shot on a Sunday, except with a bow and arrow.
Puritans were against Christmas back in the day because it was deemed too Catholic, not pagan. In fact, contrary to popular belief, there's no historical evidence of pagan origin of numerous holidays that Christians celebrate.
So fun fact, about freedom of speech, and there’s a bit of misconception. By the way disclaimer, I am not attorney and it should not be served. Consult attorney for any legal advice.

As long as your speech does not enact violence, or calls, distress or anger towards another person so as long as you’re not saying hey, let’s start another insurrection to the government you’re fine. You can say whatever you like, as long as it is not hateful or violent or insights violence.

Guano was also used in the manufacturing of makeup in Asia. (Bat poo more specifically) Women would use a mortar and pedestal to mash it up and mix it with oils. They would then rub it on their faces. It made them appear pale white. They would highlight their eyes with ground coal.
It's also illegal to carry a plank of wood on the pavement in the UK. I broke that law, technically, four times a couple of months ago the planks were glued together but they were 2m planks.
In Florida it is illegal to fish while driving across a bridge. It is illegal to skateboard without a license. Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner. You are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers. Like who in the world does that-
To be honest, despite the train story being a weird law, it actually is more understandable as salt is actually bad for railroad tracks. Even if it is weird, it is actually reasonable if you know the harm on tracks.
The weirdos that banned Christmas were the ones that landed on Plymouth Rock. The Puritans banned everything ,dancing,singing. They left because England couldn't take their republic of killjoys after they lopped off Charles I head, we asked Charles II to come back. Under a constitutional monarchy.

Funny. About the law forbiding women to wear pants in Paris : it really existed but it was repelled in 1946 by the constitution which has an umbrella statement that garanties women the same rights as men in all domains. In 2013, there was a waky media storm because some thought it was still not reppelled. Actually the decree was only kept in the archives of the "préfecture de Paris" for historians. It still is. The government had to clarify the point publicly though. It didn't repell the law which had been long reppelled, but it cut short the media shit storm.

When I was a teen back in the 70's a buddy of mine who was being harassed by the local cops was convicted for transporting sand on Sunday. He had offered a ride to a pack of teen girls from the beach. Of course there was sand in the bed of his truck. The laws were called Blue Laws passed back in the 1700's in colonial times...

Controversial Fact: Christmas is actually NOT originally a Christian festival, but it actually originated from the Pagan festival of Saturnalia from the Roman Empire. The reason why this became a Christian festival is because to entice the nature worshiping Pagans. So if you are a true Christian, don't celebrate Christmas because you are celebrating a Pagan festival.
Edit: And also the Bible and Jesus didn't say anything about the date of December 25th being the date where Jesus is born.
I believe scripture says "The shepherds abided their flocks by night." That is done during lambing season---in the spring. Someone determined Christ was actually born on or about March 27th. (Xmas season was also the feast of Baal, an ancient Egyptian deity. Michael Medved did an interesting radio presentation of the origins of the holiday and its traditions).
Part ofbthe reason the Pilgrim Fathers banned Christmas in Massachusetts. The ban lasted two decades- twice as long as in England
@@elultimo102 I have always wondered if that means Christ was basically crucified sometime around his birthday. 🙁
It was also illegal in the 26 US states for quite some time to sell margarine colored yellow. It used to come with no coloring, and a little packet of yellow coloring you had to knead into the margarine. Again, the dairy lobby in the US was responsible.
really enjoyed this video, it's fascinating to learn about these bizarre laws! but honestly, I think some of these laws reflect a pretty strange sense of justice that doesn't really hold up today. like, how did anyone think those were a good idea? makes you wonder about what other ridiculous laws might still be on the books now, right?
Speaking of the king's swans, there was an incident where some kids threw rocks and smashed a swan's eggs... it caused such a huge uproar... I wonder what happened to those kids...
In New Jersey and most of Oregon, you cannot pump your own gas, an attendant must do it. In NJ, it went back to just after WWII when gas stations were 'full service' with attendants and a guy opened up a gas station with self-service and a price about 2 cents a gallon cheaper (gas was about 21 cents a gallon then). Full service station owners bribed the state legislature to ban self-serve.

While Coco Chanel didn’t invent trousers she did popularize them as a fashion garment. She would wear what she called beach pajamas which she wore while vacationing on the Fr. Riviera. She drew her inspiration from sailors pants and paired them with sleeveless tops. They were considered risqué because of their association with the bedroom. She was definitely a fashion icon whose amazing clothing was a favorite of Princess Diana. Unfortunately her favorite designer also came with the unfortunate initial logo of a pair of intertwined “C’s.” Because of the obvious C & C association of her husband and his hussy, Princess D had all Coco Chanel labels removed from her clothing except one. She kept one logo (maybe a button, a clasp on a purse, a small label somewhere, etc.) I believe it was out of respect for the designer. Don’t remember the actual reason. I read it a while ago and don’t remember for sure. I just remember reading she removed almost everything on her clothing and would have a seamstress find buttons or whatever, that were similar to what she had and replace them. I’m not sure I would have done all that. Seems like it’s letting C2 win the war. (C2 is Camilla. Chuck is the first C in the pair. I made that up). But we each do what we have to do! Got all that info from articles so if stuff is incorrect it’s not my fault. Slam the OP if you have a problem with it.
Well ghere are 2 thoughts now. One is she never wore the Chanel line again, another says she did but had the labels removed. I’m going with the second.

Actually Egypt rules were right. Why should budget waste any cent on criminals when they could work and earn the food they get. Locking up doesn’t fix criminals. There is no rehabilitation at all so after sentence most of criminals come out as same criminals without getting changed. So won’t it be better to use the budget on education instead of prisons?
Here in America if someone is convicted of a major crime, then they should have to make sand and gravel from boulders.

Technically, the key does NOT stand for Kentucky. The whole thing does not even mean Kentucky fried Chicken, anymore. The Commonwealth of Kentucky trademarked the name Kentucky and then charged Kentucky fried Chicken with a huge amount to continue using their name. Kentucky fried Chicken, which use the initials KFC chose to drop the term Kentucky fried Chicken and go on with KFC after that technically making it so that KFC means nothing....
But then why is Kentucky the capital of fried chicken? It’s ironic I know.

A lot of trees were broke half way up n instead of the bendy snap from being pulled down they were snapped like 10 feet up, he reckoned they were leaving trails .

Bro mentioned every Charles of England in the span of 2 minutes 💀
Also in Virginia, it's illegal to have bathtubs in the house. This law was originally made to prevent disease from spreading. A lot of these are blue laws and they don't take them off the books because it gives them an excuse to persecute the undesirables.
These laws sound like they were made by picky karens.
According to The Fact Site, and only in York, (Yorkshire, England) the law states that it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with a crossbow upon seeing one, except for on Sundays. However, any Scotsman caught drunk or with a weapon can still be shot on a Sunday, except with a bow and arrow.

So fun fact, about freedom of speech, and there’s a bit of misconception. By the way disclaimer, I am not attorney and it should not be served. Consult attorney for any legal advice.
That said, freedom speech only applies to the government stopping you from freely expression yourself as long. As long as your speech does not enact violence, or calls, distress or anger towards another person so as long as you’re not saying hey, let’s start another insurrection to the government you’re fine. You can say whatever you like, as long as it is not hateful or violent or insights violence.

Guano was also used in the manufacturing of makeup in Asia. (Bat poo more specifically) Women would use a mortar and pedestal to mash it up and mix it with oils. They would then rub it on their faces. It made them appear pale white. They would highlight their eyes with ground coal.
So the Geisha were just shit faced ?
It's also illegal to carry a plank of wood on the pavement in the UK.
I broke that law, technically, four times a couple of months ago the planks were glued together but they were 2m planks.
In Florida it is illegal to fish while driving across a bridge. It is illegal to skateboard without a license. Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner. You are not allowed to break more than three dishes per day, or chip the edges of more than four cups and/or saucers. Like who in the world does that-
To be honest, despite the train story being a weird law, it actually is more understandable as salt is actually bad for railroad tracks. Even if it is weird, it is actually reasonable if you know the harm on tracks.

Funny. About the law forbiding women to wear pants in Paris : it really existed but it was repelled in 1946 by the constitution which has an umbrella statement that garanties women the same rights as men in all domains. In 2013, there was a waky media storm because some thought it was still not reppelled. Actually the decree was only kept in the archives of the "préfecture de Paris" for historians. It still is. The government had to clarify the point publicly though. It didn't repell the law which had been long reppelled, but it cut short the media shit storm.
