    'The Red Rose of Lancashire'

     

     

    The county of Lancashire in the North West of England, is one of the premier tourist areas of the UK. Lancashire is bounded by sea to the west, the Pennine hills to the east, with the Lake District to the North and the River Mersey and cities of Liverpool and Manchester to the south. It has a culture all of its own, beautiful scenery and in Blackpool the biggest seaside resort in Europe.

     

    Discover the beautiful Lancashire countryside of the Ribble Valley and Pendle Hill, home of the famous Pendle Witches, Lancashire's seaside attractions like Blackpool with its Tower (England's scaled down version of the Eiffel Tower) and the 'Big One' - the biggest rollercoaster in the world - both visible for miles around. Explore Lancashire's bustling towns and cities, or the heritage sites of Lancashire's industrial past. Formerly the home of the cotton and coal industries, much of Lancashire's income now comes from tourism and farming.

    But one was just creepy. This girl I didn't like had just left elementry school, and I was glad. A couple weeks later I had a vivid dream of her walking up the hill from the busses into the building. About a week later, she came back.  :laugh:

    It's strange but I rarely dream about people I know, they are always about someone I've never seen before. :laugh:

    Stupid Sex Laws

     

     

    Click for Spoiler:

    Most Middle Eastern countries recognize the Islamic law which states that, after having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh.

     

    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.

     

    In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.

     

    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.

     

    The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

     

    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. The reason? Under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.

     

    In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband - but may only do so with her bare hands.

     

    Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores.

     

    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.

     

    In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

     

    In Maryland, USA, 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."

    Interesting read. It's strange how Countries claim stars as their own. eg Canadian Anna Pacquin's Fly Away Home. New Zealand always claims her as being a New Zealander. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read the article. Then there's Russell Crowe, he is always claimed by the Australians as being an Australian, but he's not he's a New Zealander. :lol:
