I love those kinds of things. I am going to share that on my family website.

100. Musical instrument shops must pay an annual royalty to cover shoppers who perform a recognisable riff before they buy, thereby making a "public performance".

Nice.

That's the Brits for you.

Did you know you can't legally watch TV over there without a license? You buy a TV, plug it in, watch it, but it's not legal until you get a permit.

You should have seen the "anti TV piracy" commercials over there. It had people leaning over another's shoulder to read their copy of the newspaper, instead of buying their own. Kinda sounds like the Movie Industry's tactics. :roll:

WTF...I wonder what other body parts can blow up balloons? :lol8:

14. It's possible for a human to blow up balloons via the ear. A 55-year-old factory worker from China reportedly discovered 20 years ago that air leaked from his ears, and he can now inflate balloons and blow out candles.
