At least 13.97cm (5.5in) long, 2.69cm (1.06in) thick, without 'abnormal curvature'

Or so requires EU Regulation 2257/94 of the size of bananas.

So, in the last couple of days I've read here about banana-sizes, driving licences for the blind and the right to shoot Welshmen with a crossbow.

As I'm a great fan of silly laws and regulations, I was wondering if any of you can think of more good ones?

Texas

• It is Texas law that when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
• Texas law forbids anyone to have a pair of pliers in his possession.

AHHAAAHAh Im breaking the law *runs with pliers*

Oooh! I have an idea! How about this: if some one dies while under a doctors care, the doctor should be held accountable for them dying! Regardless of the doctors actions, regardless of how the patient died. The family will be given all of the doctors possessions, and the doctors family will be sold into slavery.

Well, I think that it would work.

This just stregthens my opinion to leave from EU asap and create an Scandinavian Union. Leave our Bananas alone EU fiscals.:wall:

Yeh, because this is such a good reason to leave the EU.

Wasn't the banana thing just tabloid bunkum? And I thought it was a duty to shoot crosbows at Welshmen, not a right?

well, here's the regulation referred to...
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/lex/Lex...en00070008.pdf

yeah, it is tabloid nonsense.
and i think it's every citizens duty to shoot welshmen with a crossbow after dark in the city limits of chester.

Ireland's about to repeal some cool laws from the middle ages.

These include ones to prevent the wicked native Irish from fraternising with settlers and to prevent Jews from owning armour (because, you know, the Irish Jew population was very troublesome then).

Really? Go call the police, I'm sure someone's breaking that law right now, quite visibly too.

Some people are actually taken to court on the matter. I believe Cumbernauld Council was taken to the Court of the Lord Lyon for flying the Lion Rampant.

laws being enforced in the UK, will wonders never cease?

Edit: I'm shocked there isn't some sort of lion rampant tolerance zone that includes all of Scotland, like the cannabis tolerance zones in London.

Peronally, I think Holland and Belgium should form a league of their own, dedicated to pot and beer... they could call it the "Flanderian Union."

Must Resist bad pun, must resist. :wall:

So it seems the EU is setting up next to regulate the short arms of males in Europe by passing bad banana laws. :oops:

That was just pitful, but the dark side of the force drew me to making a very bad pun.:shame:

Its usually a longbow and it is a right at fifty paces or more, with said bow, to shoot said Welshman on the steps of Yorkminster.

1. During an Oxford exam you may order cider.

2. Entering the exam hall without your sword incurs a fine.

3. If a lord enters the exam hall on a horse everyone gets a 1st.

Thats actually quite reasonable, in a monarchist sort of way. The Lion Rampent is one of the Queen's symbols.

Misleading little thread we have here...

That's not that long, if we're talking about that ~;)

(sarcasm on) It's pretty reasonable to me, imagine if an european cop discovered a latin american with a prominent object beneath his clothes :sweatdrop: (sarcasm off)
