4.Movies depicting time travel in China

If you're a director who wants to make it big in China, do remember this. The Chinese are quite iffy about time travel and demand that a serious thing like time travelling be treated with respect.  Incredible, isnt it?

5.Dying in House of Parliament UK

The British want to yield control over everything ; even dying! If youre visiting the House of Parliament and feel like you might die, step out immediately! Because the British government simply cannot allow you to die here. However, in the odd chance that you do, you will get a state funeral.

7. Baby Names in Denmark

Dont even dare to name your bundle of joy according to your own whims! The Danish government has pre-approved 24000 names and new parents are supposed to use only this list to pick out a name for their baby. A population of 5.6 million people share only 24,000 names- talk about epic confusion!

8. Going Commando in Thailand

You heard that. You might be in a big hurry or might want to feel liberated, but the Thai government cannot allow you to go anywhere without underwear! The question that looms in the mind is who will check that?

9. Having sex with a tigress in Iran

If you finally manage to convince a tigress to have sex with you, please make sure that the animal is not in Iran! The government in Iran has explicitly denied the permission to have sex with a tigress in the country. Intercourse with your cuddly poodle? That might just be fine.

10. Baby Walkers in Canada

So you think your baby needs a walker to assist him in walking? The Canadian government knows better. In Canada, all kinds of walkers are banned because it is believed that walkers make the babies too dependent. Do it the traditional way we say!
