Perhaps you should reconsider that Pigeon Assassination

Quirky law for the day.

The law governing Interference with homing pigeons states that...

(1) A person who—
(a) without lawful authority, kills, injures or takes any homing pigeon; or
(b) enters upon any land for the purpose of killing, injuring or taking any homing pigeon without lawful authority, is guilty of an offence.

Maximum penalty: $250.

However, those with bloodlust need not put their slingshot down just yet...there is a defence...

Subsection (3) It is a defence to a charge of killing, injuring or taking a homing pigeon contrary to subsection (1) to prove that the defendant was the owner or occupier of improved or cultivated land, or a person acting under the instructions of any such owner or occupier, and killed, injured or took the pigeon while it was actually upon that land or any building on that land.

This pitiable pigeon was going for a relaxing Sunday afternoon flight in the country when he stopped for a rest and took some happy snaps to send to his Grandmother and was lawfully killed (pursuant to the available defence under subsection 3).

The law needs to be changed now! Write to your local MP! Use a carrier pigeon to send the letter perhaps...

Show us your slits...

Some of my female friends have prominent toe cleavage.

Toe cleavage, for the blessedly unaware, is the partial exposure of a woman's toes in shoes. Low cut shoes reveal toe cleavage similar in the same way low cut tops reveal breast cleavage.

Despite the fact your piggies are on show toe cleavage can, apparently, be stylish and indeed sexy. To quote Carrie Bradshaw's idol, show designer Manolo Blahnik, "the secret of toe cleavage, a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe" is that "you must only show the first two cracks."

Hilarious.

Dumb and Number

IS there a rational reason for why the numbers on the number pads on keyboards and calculators are configured the opposite way to telephones?

Please explain.
