Stupid laws...

Anyone interested, like I am, in stupid laws will be sad to see that LA has now made it legal once more for unmarried persons to have sex in 'a car, bed, structure or public place'. Presumably a van was okay, then...

Another interesting news story from Ananova. It amused me...


Ikea's new bed shares name with German obscenity

Ikea has apologised after accidentally naming a child's bunk bed after an obscene German expression.

The wooden bed is called the "Gutvik" which means "Good f***" in German.

So what does it mean in Swedish which, if I remember correctly, is Ikea's native language? "Good Viking"?

Ah, good old Ikea... perpetrator of the "Groggy" coaster and the "Git" corner shelf (I am not making this up!)

Yeah, right. As Mark Steel pointed out today, you couldn't have looting here like in Iraq, as everyone would be saying "but there is no sprocket 'A', hang on - this bit's in Italian!"... And wouldn't be able to do anymore...

I believe that it is still illegal to train one's pig in the street in England.

Train it? What? To do tricks? Play football better? We deserve to be told!
