Weird Law in Samoa

The weirdest laws on the planet: It’s a crime to forget your wife’s birthday in Samoa!!

The world is weird, and it becomes even more when you get to learn about some of the most unusual laws around. Most of these laws actually still exist, despite we can doubt if they are really respected or not. For instance, in seven USA states, according to their constitutions, atheists are barred from holding public office. That’s just ridiculous, but it’s true. Interracial marriage was still illegal in Alabama in 2000, whilst the Philippines and The Vatican remain the only two states in the world where divorce is still illegal. French legislatures state that it is illegal to marry a dead person.

In Dubai, extramarital sex is against the law and could result in imprisonment for over a year. In the case of a rape, both the victim and the attacker could end up being charged with the same crime.

Allegedly, in Greece police officers are allowed to arrest anyone suspected of having HIV; police are also enabled to force HIV testing and even publicize the names of HIV-positive people and have them evicted from their homes. Hopefully, this existed in Greece in the past and is not part of the country’s current legislatures.

We are all confounded upon reading these legislations, and we are immediately looking for a logical explanation behind. Logic could be found once we apply the historical contexts in each country, but I still fail to see how that can work for the next four weird laws you are about to read…

Weird Law in Nevada

…but after learning that in Massachusetts it is deemed illegal for a woman to be on top during sex, this law existing in Reno doesn’t really matter…

Weird Law in Samoa

I don’t know much about Samoa, but to all native men from there who might be reading this – be cautious in case you forget. We are with you.

In China, apparently one needs governmental permissions for a number of different things, but who would have expected you still need one for reincarnation…

China, Reincarnation

I also must confess I am surprised that in China, it is also a law that a person must be intelligent to go to college.

About the Germans, I would never doubt their abilities in keeping everything ordered and classified, even pillows.

See you soon with more of these confounding weird laws!

Then & Now: The Co-Cathedral St Peter and Paul in Osijek

October 19, 2016 Comments (2) Views: 1768 Nostalgia , Postcards Then & Now: The Co-Cathedral St Peter and Paul in Osijek Wondrously rising against the skies in Osijek, Croatia, the Co-Cathedral St Peter and Paul is a multi-tiered 90-metre spire, a red-brick neo-Gothic giant, which makes the ultimate most recognized site of Croatia’s fourth largest city. As glorious as it is, I always wanted to visit it and experience the place with my own eyes and body. This old vintage postcard reveals how the glorious Co-Cathedral dominates above the small city square back in the day… The construction of the church started during the 1890’s, as an initiative of the vibrant Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer who was based in the nearby city of Đakovo. Strossmayer certainly initiated not only a church that could serve with the capacity of 3000 people, ...

June 10, 2016 Comments Off on Time Travelling with the Navy of the Yugoslav Monarchy Views: 843 Looking Back , Nostalgia Time Travelling with the Navy of the Yugoslav Monarchy Slovenia has just 47 km coastline on the Adriatic Sea. It’s a small portion compared to neighboring Croatia and Italy, yet you will be pleasantly surprise of the places and small towns you can visit here. Piran for one is a true gem, overlooking to Trieste just next on the Italian coast, not more than 30 km. Very close also, Umago in Croatia, just hidden behind the hills. Piran comes alive on the weekends and during the summer seasons. It’s a mix of cultures, and, it’s the first and only Slovenian city so far that has a Mayor who comes from Africa. Anyway, if you happen to visit Piran, make sure you pay a visit to the local museum where you can easily spend ...

Prague – every corner keeps it’s own memory

May 20, 2016 Comments (2) Views: 1074 Looking Back , Nostalgia Prague – every corner keeps it’s own memory Ok,This is how time-travel machine should work right?  As I have never been in 12 th century before, I bite myself for reality check, standing in front of an old tower. Old, dirty tower remains there untouched to connect me with the past.  They call it the Keeper of the city. I’ve never seen such an old thing before in my life. You pass trough it and you’re on Charles Bridge  and entered 13 th century already. Five hundred sculptures waving at me and taking my full attention. V’ltava is under. The tiny raindrops on my head can’t stop me enjoying every corner in this early June morning. I go further and wait. Kafka is here. I guess I’m in the beginning of the 20 th century. Opera House with Mozzart’s sculpture. Don Giovanni was f...
