1.
In Germany, during Oktoberfest, no one is ever legally drunk no matter how much alcohol they consume.
2.
According to the European Union, you may not eat a horse if it is also your pet.
3.
It is illegal to run out of petrol on the German Autobahn (highway).
4.
In Switzerland, it is against the law to hang your washing out on a Sunday.
5.
Urinating in a canal in the Netherlands is an arrestable offence. While it's understandable you don't want people peeing in your canal it makes you wonder: what the f*ck happened there that they had to pass this law?
6.
The French love a passionate kiss. But not on the railways! It is an offence to kiss on a platform or any train on the National network.
7.
You are breaking the law if you urinate in the sea in Portugal. For those who love to pee in the pool this must be a real blow.
8.
When visiting the many ancient ruins of Greece, it is against the law to wear high heels.
9.
In Belgium, if a Street Musician plays really off key he/she can be arrested.
10.
In France, it is illegal to name a pig "Napoleon".
11.
In Italy, men may not wear a dress under penalty of a fine.
12.
Coupons are outlawed in Greece. I'm sure there is Greek debt joke about this somewhere...
13.
The head of any dead whale found on the British coast becomes automatically the property of the king. The whale’s tail is the property of the queen.
14.
In Iceland, if you wish to own a dog in an apartment building, you must get permission from every other member of the building. Wow, you have to be nice to your neighbors? How inhumane...
15.
If the Öresund strait (water that separates Sweden from Denmark) freezes and a Swede walks over to Denmark, Danes are allowed to hit him with a stick. I guess it was handy 500 years ago, but now it's out of use. Or is it?
