This piece of news is pretty amusing. A survey conducted by UKTV Gold television in London has revealed what is considered as UK’s creasiest laws. Out of the 3,931 surveyed, the top vote went to: it is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament. So when you died there, the police were going to arrest you? Most of the laws may be absurd to the highest level, but they still exist and have never been repealed although subsequent statutes have rendered them obsolete.

Respondents were given a shortlist of nominated crazy laws and asked to vote. The result of the survey is as follows:

Most ridiculous British laws:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent) - is it legal to charge a corpse?

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (seven percent) - it will get dizzy

Just found this very important article from Yahoo and AFP, and I know this would be of interest to many women out there who are on pill, or anyone who knows someone taking pill. I’ve never taken any contraceptive pill ever, because I was afraid of all the side-effects (hehe, that’s why I got 3 kids now, side-effect, too!). When I was treated for hormonal imbalance this summer, the OB-GYN told me to take estrogen caps for a month, then afterwards be on pill for life. So I was on estrogen therapy for almost a month, but I was adamant about the pills.

Anyways, I think I don’t need them coz I am already ligated and as I have said, I have read lots of negative side-effects from the web and heard from other friends - in short, I didn’t follow the OB. I stopped the estrogen, too, I think I still have some caps here ‘coz I read from the web that long-term estrogen therapy is related to higher breast cancer risks, plus, of course contraceptive pill has also estrogen, right? Gives me some headache, too.
