All I got.

It wasn't banned in Sweden. It has been said to have been banned in FINLAND, but that NEVER happened. It's just a myth.

Fact: Donal Duck is the most popular magazine in Finland. Heh...

its "the average human will eat 8 LB's of live insect in their liftime.
thats a whole lot mroe spiders than 8.

The spider is not an insect, as I've been told many times in school, it is an arachnid.

The way I heard that fact was 8 spiders per year, that would be closer to 680 spiders per lifetime.

Hingham, MA Laws:
You may not have colored lights on your house if it can be seen from Main Street. Only white lights may be visible.
If you live on Main Street and want to paint your house, the colors must be approved by the historical society.

This is 100% true. The historical society flips out if you have colored lights on your house if you live on or near Main Street o.O

Somewhere in Idaho (I can't remember the town...) but there's a town where a Cat named Monster is the mayor.

I admit... I got it off that one gameshow. What's it called? Balderdash. That was the correct answer.

There's a town Joe, Montana. It used to be called Ismay until some radio host thought it would be a really cool promotion to change the name.

Some stupid laws from my state, Florida:

:: Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.
:: A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.
:: If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
:: It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.
:: Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.
:: Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.
:: It is illegal to skateboard without a license.
:: You may not fart in a public place after 6 P.M. on Thursdays.
:: It is considered an offense to shower naked.

I suggest you all go to Dumb Laws

Yeah, might be, these fact vary from place to place, al though the one about 8 spiders in a lifetime is the only one I've read about/heard of.
