Don't 'die' in parliament!
Tamil Nadu politicians are famous for dyeing - their moustaches - at least the male ones that is. It seems immediately after MGR's death, senior politicians were busy dyeing - their moustaches, hoping to be sworn in as CM. But don't talk about our FM's moustache for he doesn't sport one and he can't be branded as a Tamil Nadu politician. The UKTV GOLD conducted a survey on stupid laws and these were the toppers.
1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27%)
2. It could be regarded as an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down (7%)
3. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned (5%)
4. In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants (4%)
5. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen (3.5%)
6. It is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (3%)
7. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour (3%)
