    Hey Turvey...

    Did you know that in the UK if you affix a stamp with the Queen's picture to a letter upside down... you've committed treason? :D
    Thats some Medieval sh*t there.
    And you wanna talk bad about Trumpy and us Yanks.

    Trumps and Moron and Yanks are way to brain washed on god and country, so yes :)

    Last year, the Law Society highlighted a number of bizarre laws still in existence on the statute book in England and Wales.

    These included a ban on firing a cannon close to a dwelling house (Met Police Act 1839); a ban on the use of any slide upon ice or snow (Town Police Clauses Act 1847); and the prohibition of driving cattle through the streets of London (Metropolitan Streets Act 1867).

    An ongoing cull of obsolete laws by the statute law revision team, has seen 2,000 abolished since 1965.

    Dead whales

    Among the most ridiculous laws listed by UKTV Gold were:

    It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27%)

    It could be regarded an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down (7%)

    Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned (5%)

    In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants (4%)

    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%)

    It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (3%)

    It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour (3%)

    Ahhh but 93% of USA ( made up number ) believe in god, where as only 15% do in the UK, therefore Brits are smarter!

    Until god is proven to be real ofcourse then we'll have to flip it LOL

    85% of Brits are atheists?
    Nooo way. I want a link on that one.
    Ya'll got pissed off at the pope a few centuries ago and started your own damn church.
    Least Trumpy hasn't done that yet.
    Although he did put the Pope in his place for sticking his Papal nose in our business.
    Gotta love Trumpy. :D :D :D
