    Right back at ya :thumb: <- closest thing I could find.

    Maybe Pretty Woman is in fact wrong and its just a coincidence. I just can't imagine Julia Roberts would lie to us.

    No, it's not. I brought my elbow even with my heel and the tip of my big toe couldn't even dream of getting close to my wrist.

    The trick is to put your heel in thebend of your elbow, then the tip of your big toe should just reach your wrist :D

    erm there might be a law still in place, but i think its very likely in conflict and would subdue to the common law offence of murder

    It works in that way... but that doesn't mean it's even, as a few centimeters are lost when you begin on the inside.

    It's illegal to pleasure yourself with a live fish in America. ACTUAL fact.

    I heard about a law in some state in the US, that it's illegal "to fish for whales from within your car". I surely hope it's not true... :eek:

    Thanks :D
    She had a brother named Napoleon and a sister (also tortoiseshell) named Doremeow (pronounced like Do (the musical note) Re (the other musical note) meow). :D
    Doremeow was my favourite kitten... until a car ran over her. :(

    Its illegal to eat mince pies on christmas day. And blood type O is the most popular among the worlds population despite being a regessive gene. (Thank you A level human biology!)

    yer, but you have to be a citizen of york, you have to kill him inside the city walls after dark, and since no one's really sure if this is true or not, you'd probably get nicked.

    unless you could claim it was a bizarre archery accident :chin:


    did you know it is illegal to keep ferrets as pets in california? what a tremendous waste of a law.

    We need a change in that law to include the Welsh, too.
    Then remove the restrictions of a bow, arrow, and York.

    It's illegal to use vegetable oil as fuel (instead of petrol) in a car because no tax is paid on it...
