also, did you know that in chico california, detonating a nuclear weapon in the city limits results in a $500 fine?

these are real laws:

in maine, they have a lawyer hunting season.

in france, it is illegal to park a flying saucer in a vineyard.

in kentucky, you are sober until you stop holding onto the floor

in maine, they have a lawyer hunting season.

and just when is this season

as for me, i finally got some useless facts:

the earth's rotational period slows down by about 1.5 miliseconds every century - this is due to the moon's gravitational influence at the time of tides.

half a billion years ago, the earth's rotational period was 22hrs and each year consisted of 397days.

at the same time, the moon is spiralling away from earth at a rate of about 4cm per year.

yes i can see you all thinking *ohh.. one day moon will be somewhre betweeen jupiter and saturn and earth will stop turning..*

nop thats useless fact part 2 now.

the process stops when earth rotates at the same rate as the moon orbits it. therefore, the moon will always be above one point on earth.

by that time, one earth day will be 47 of our present days, and the moon wil be 47% further away than it is now, about 550,000km.

the process will take many billions of years to end so we can all sit comfy in our fossil rocks and watch this remarkable process. methinks antartica might melt entirely during the day and freeze over entirely during the night

in the city of chester, you are legally allowed to kill a welsh person with a bow and arrow, on a friday within the city walls.

I'm surprised no-one's tried yet
