Proof That The World is NuTs!

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but
the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male
animal is punishable by death.
(Like THAT makes sense.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals,
but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the
examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This
also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be
covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.!
(Much worse than "going blind!")
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the
countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the
privilege of having sex for the first time
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to
marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in
the world that even comes close to this?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her
adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands.
The husband's illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in
any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in
tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and
the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to
witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a
woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this
law?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines
with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending
machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for
consumption on the premises."
(Is this a great country or what?
Well, not as great as Guam!)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for this stuff?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own
weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of???)
(Did the government pay for this research??)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that, too)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And, the best for last?
Turtles can breathe through their butts.
(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

Earworm again? More tunes spinning in my head

Ganked from liquid_wayno's "Earworm" post, this has sparked and idea in my head. What song were you thinking of today? What was buzzing in that brain of yours? And all the day? Some of it can be annoying, some of it can be good. I have an old CD of really good remixes (Ultra or Thrive) of these two songs back to back, which I still play often when on road trips.... which my head is playing, back to back right now (in a fast remix version of course)
Two Divas. So gay!

worried, manual labor, and I'm having a glass of wine-rambleings

My mom now needs to go to a home care facility. Apparently, she has fractured her T7, T10, T 11 and T12 and possibly to the T9 of the vertebrae. So she is in pain; having a fun trip on Darvacet. (She has had spine problems all her life). Once at the small home, they, after a month, will determine if she can live independently, back in her senior living apt. She wants to go home so badly. At first she was missing her house. Now after her second stay at the convalescent hosp, she is now calling her cute apt, home. And missing it.
So we are all (my sister and I) are a bit stressed). If she can't go back, then she will be in an assisted living thing for till she dies. To many of you with younger parents, you may not relate. But wait. It may come. Nothing worse than seeing your parent, who was once a power figure, caregiver, etc... slowly wither away. I hope she can go back home. She is 85, and needs to have a good life before the end. I lost my dad to ALS, years ago. A very sad way to go. So this, is hard. Because my only last parent, is slowing going away.

Other news: Owners are coming to visit the property next week. So we are scrambling. I today helped maintenance put redwood bark all around the complex beds, cleaned up stuff etc ( in good shoes and slacks... stupid). I forgot how I love to do this sort of thing. I just love manual labor. I find it very relaxing. I wonder if I was a slave in a past life. Maybe in ancient Greece. Anyway, it got my mind off all of this mom stuff.

I never drink alone. Don't really care for it. But I just opened a good bottle of red wine. I need it. Made some quick snacks before dinner. I may drink the whole bottle, with dinner. This mom thing is really stressing me out (subconsciously). If I get on a sex site with this wine, I may get in trouble. eep!!! I just got my first wine head rush! Any wine, just one glass, gives me a headache :(

I have to work tomorrow. :(

Instant crush
