This was TOOOO entertaining to not post. I can't wait for the comments

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but
the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male
animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals,
but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the
examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)
*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This
also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be
covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick??)
*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
(Much worse than "going blind!")
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the
countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the
privilege of having sex for the first time... Reason: under Guam
law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in
the world that even comes close to this?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her
adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The
husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner
desired.
(Ah! Justice!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in
tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and
the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to
witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)
*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with
a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass
this law?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines
with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending
machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for

good ONES jammie, i think i have some more here to put up.

Why is NYC Called the Big Apple?
In the 1920s, a sportswriter for the Morning Telegraph named John Fitzgerald overheard stablehands in New Orleans refer to NYC's racetracks as "the Big Apple." He named his column "Around the Big Apple." A decade later, jazz musicians adopted the term to refer to New York City, and especially Harlem, as the jazz capital of the world. There are many apples on the trees of success, they were saying, but when you pick New York City, you pick the big apple.

The Bronx: How Swede It is
The Bronx was settled in 1639 and is named for the Swedish settler Jonas Bronck. There are more than 60 landmarks and historic districts in the Bronx, including the Edgar Allen Poe Cottage on the Grand Concourse and the stately Van Cortland House Museum in Van Cortlandt Park.

Why Cabs Are Yellow
John Hertz, who founded the Yellow Cab Company in 1907, chose yellow because he had read a study conducted by the University of Chicago that indicated it was the easiest color to spot.

Where the Famous Go to Rest
Green-Wood Cemetery, in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, is one of the world’s most beautiful cemeteries. With a spectacular harbor view and 478 acres filled with trees and flowering shrubs, Green-Wood is the eternal resting place of a who’s who of famous folks, including Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Morse, F.A.O Schwartz, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Charles Tiffany, and "Boss" Tweed.

Looking for Main Street?
You won’t find it in Manhattan. There is, however, a Main Street in each of the other boroughs and on Roosevelt Island.

A City of Islands
Manhattan and Staten Island are islands; Queens and Brooklyn are on the western tip of Long Island. So, of New York City’s five boroughs, only the Bronx is part of the mainland. However, there is an island that ‘s part of the Bronx and yet feels like a New England fishing village: City Island, a marine-related community offering fishing, boating, and a wide range of restaurants and snack bars.

Statue of Liberty Stats
The Lady in the Harbor is 101 feet tall from base to torch, 305 feet tall from pedestal foundation to torch. She has a 35-foot waist and an 8-foot index finger, and she weighs 450,000 pounds.

Did you know…?
There are 6,374.6 miles of streets in New York City.

Broadway's Original Name was the Wiechquaekeck Trail. It was an old Algonquin trade route.

The Times Square Business Improvement District (212/768-1560) dropped a ball designed and crafted by Waterford Crystal for New Year’s Eve 1999.

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is so long – 4,260 feet – that the towers are a few inches out of parallel to accommodate the curvature of the earth.

New York City has 578 miles of waterfront.

The Bronx is the only New York borough connected to the mainland.

Since the 1920’s, Queens has been the ‘home of jazz,’ the residence of choice for hundreds of jazz musicians, including such notables as Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie (source: The Queens Jazz Trail Committee, 718/463-7700).

Built circa 1680, the Conference House (also known as the Billop House) was the site of a fateful meeting in 1776.

The British, represented by Admiral Lord Richard Howe, and the Continental Congress, represented by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Edward Rutledge, engaged in an attempt to forestall the American Revolution.

The 2½ mile boardwalk at Staten Island's South Beach (718/390-8000) is the fourth longest in the world.

The New York City Department of Transportation is responsible for approximately 5,700 miles of streets and highways and 753 bridge structures and tunnels.

The triangular shape of the Flatiron Building (an early skyscraper on 23rd Street) produced wind currents that made women’s skirts billow and caused police to create the term ’23 skiddoo’ to shoo gapers from the area.

Largest:
The world’s largest gothic cathedral is the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine (212/316-7540) – and it’s still under construction. Its first stone was laid in 1892.

The nation’s largest public Halloween parade is the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade (914/758-5519).

The New York Botanical Garden (718/817-8700) is home to the nation’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a New York City landmark that has showcased NYBG’s distinguished tropical, Mediterranean, and desert plant collections since 1902.

The Panorama of the City of New York in the Queens Museum of Art is the world’s largest architectural model, containing 895,000 individual structures at a scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet.

Oldest:
The Sandy Ground Historical Society (718/317-5796) offers a look at the oldest continuously inhabited free black settlement in the nation.

The oldest schoolhouse still standing, built in 1695, is situated in Historic Richmond Town (718/351-1611).

The country’s oldest municipal golf course, opened in 1895, is in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.

Number of bird species in Central Park is 215.

New York City History:
In 1898, the five boroughs – The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island – were incorporated into a single entity, known as Greater New York.

Ellis Island Immigration Station officially opened its doors to the world on Friday, January 1, 1892. Annie Moore, a 15-year-old Irish girl, was the first to be questioned in the immigration station’s second-floor Registry Room. (Source: “Ellis Island & Statue of Liberty,” Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, 212/363-7620).

From 1892 to 1924, 12 million immigrants entered the United States through Ellis Island.

The Titanic was scheduled to arrive at Chelsea Piers on April 16, 1912 at the conclusion of her maiden voyage. Fate intervened, and the “unsinkable” ship struck an iceberg and sank on April 14, 1912. Of the 2,200 passengers aboard, 675 were rescued by the Cunard liner Carpathia, which arrived at the Chelsea Piers on April 20th.

Downtown NYC Fun Facts
Courtesy of The Downtown Alliance

Downtown Manhattan was the site of the nation's first capital.

As late as the 1840s, thousands of pigs roamed Wall Street to consume garbage - an early sanitation system

Under the Dutch, Wall Street - where there really was a wall - was the city limit.

Author Jack London once lived as a hobo in City Hall Park.

Federal Hall National Memorial was the site of George Washington's first inauguration.

The New York Stock Exchange is the world's largest exchange.

New York City's first theater was on Beaver Street.

Castle Clinton was built to defend he harbor against the British during the War of 1812.

Downtown's only remaining philately business has been here over 65 years.

St. Paul's Chapel is Manhattan's oldest public building in continuous use.

Bowling Green is the oldest park in New York City.

Castle Clinton has functioned as an opera house, an aquarium, and a gateway for over 8 million immigrants.

The New York Stock Exchange has an annual trading volume of $5.5 trillion.

46% of leisure visitors to Downtown come from outside the United States.

The vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank on Maiden Lane store more than one-quarter of the world's gold bullion.

The Woolworth Building - the 'Cathedral of Commerce' - was the tallest building in the world from 1913 to 1929.

Downtown was the shipping capital of the world in the 19th century.

The first ticker-tape parade celebrated the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886.

Broadway began as an Algonquin trade route called the Wiechquaekeck Trail.

Master architect Cass Gilbert designed six Downtown buildings including the US Custom House at One Bowling Green.

A 7,000-pound bronze 'Charging Bull' mysteriously appeared one day in 1989 in front of the New York Stock Exchange - the bull is now at Bowling Green.

The Brooklyn Bridge was the first bridge to be lit using electricity.

The New York Stock Exchange began in 1792 when 24 brokers met under a buttonwood tree facing 68 Wall Street.

On completion, the Brooklyn Bridge was the world's longest suspension bridge and the city's tallest structure.

The trading area of the New York Stock Exchange is about two-thirds the size of a football field.

The New York Mercantile Exchange began as the Butter and Cheese Exchange in the 1750s.

J.P. Morgan's former apartment on the 31st floor in 14 Wall Street is now home to a popular French restaurant.

When it built its headquarters at 26 Broadway, Standard Oil Company was the largest U.S. corporation and its founder, John D. Rockefeller, was the wealthiest person in the world.

The northern façade of City Hall was left unfinished when the building was erected in 1803 - no one foresaw that the city would expand beyond Downtown.
