Silly Laws around the World
every
country has its own set of rules or laws. Laws are created by governments, and
they are generally approved by a legislative body-such as the Congress or the
Parliament. Laws are typically made for a reason , but some laws can be really
silly.
It was
once against the law to slam a car door in Switzerland. And Donald Duck comics
were banned in Finland because the cartoon character did't wear pants. In
England , if you found a whale on the beach , you couldn't keep it. It belonged
to the king because it was considered a special animal.
Unit 1874
, people in Belgium had to choose their children's names from a list written at
the time of Napoleon. Nowadays many countries still have strict laws regarding
names. It is to prevent parents from giving children ridiculous names : In
Brazil , a woman was called Disneylandia da Silva , and twins were called Fish
and Chips in New Zealand.
