Our Quirky World

got this off Today Online - 6 July
have a read... have a laugh

Sweden passes Peeping Tom law, gets free show. The Swedish Parliament has added to the country's reputation for being sexually liberated by passing a law that makes looking up ladies' skirts legal.

The motion was carried 332 to 17, reported ABC Online.

To celebrate the new law, the Parliament's second floor was replaced with a glass floor. Women were invited to stand on it, wearing their loosest, widest skirts, with or without underwear. Men were invited to bring their cameras, stand on the floor below and look up.

Germany

Thief leaves photos of self at crime scene

A German thief effectively signed his own arrest warrant after photographing himself at the scene of a crime and accidentally leaving the pictures for police to discover. Police in the northern town of Neumuenster said the youth stole a digital camera during a break-in in nearby Rendsburg and took the photos before discarding the device, reported ABC Online.

"We don't know if it was down to a series of unfortunate events, or whether the thief couldn't get to grips with the technology. The evidence was fairly compelling, so he had to admit it," a police spokesman said.

Russia

Man nabbed because his breasts were too big

A Russian man who tried to sit for university entrance exams in place of his sister was caught because his breasts were too big, reported ananova.com

Security staff got suspicious because the "girl" had bright make-up, "outstanding feminine features" and breasts of "incomparable proportions".

Suspecting that notes could be hidden inside her clothing, they conducted a search and found that the breasts were fake. A thorough check revealed that the "girl" was in fact a young man trying to pose as his sister, in order to pass the exam for her.
