The 10 Stupidest Laws You May Encounter Overseas
 
01. In Scotland, it is illegal to be drunk while in possession of a cow.

02. In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself while standing up, after 10 P.M.

03. In Australia, it is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar.

04. It is an offense for women of "ill repute or evil looks" to enter a cheese factory in Italy's area of Ferrara.

05. In France, between the hours of 8AM and 8PM, 70% of the music in the radio must be by French composers.

06. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals -- so long as the animals are female. It is illegal to have sex with a male animal, however.

07. In Thailand, it is illegal to leave your house if you are not wearing underwear.

08. In China, women are prohibited from walking around a hotel room in the nude; a woman may only be naked while in the bathroom.

09. In Hong Kong, a woman is legally allowed to kill her cheating husband -- but only if she uses her bare hands. The husband's lover, however, may be killed in any manner desired.

10. It is illegal in Antibes to take photos of police officers or police vehicles, even if they are just in the background.
