Strange laws
¿Sabías que en el Reino Unido es ilegal morirse en el Parlamento y que en Francia está prohibido ponerle el nombre de Napoleón a un cerdo?
That post is from Espacio Contraintuitivo, a new blog from Mexico.

I once read that in bygone days, Adolf was a popular name for horses. Not so much anymore.

I think they are even more restrictive in France.

I have to assume it's an obscure law that even most French citizens would be surprised to hear. Kind of like hearing about sodomy laws up until a few years ago.

Uh, Joshua, I think that boat has already sailed. It's just a speck on the horizon at this point.

Loony laws from other lands: http://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/2007/06/09/
They don't get any loonier than this. Check out Costa Rica. Even crazier than Finland.

It is not illegal to die in Parliament - just awkward. Parliament sits in the Palace of Westminster, a Royal Palace. An old - and not always upheld - tradition is that if you die in a royal palace, you get a state funeral. However, this is unlikely to happen... in the few occasions recently (last 50 years) where people have died on the floor of the house, they have simply been pronounced dead outside the palace grounds - avoiding the problem.
