It's illegal to die in Italian town & other weird laws from around the world
Published: 2013 March 05 00:15:35 (6211 Views)
Italy has recently introduced some laws that at first sight might look rather absurd and strange.
It is illegal to die in Falciano del Massico, a village of 3,700 people some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Naples in southern Italy.
Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava issued the tongue-in-cheek decree because the village has no cemetery and it is feuding with a nearby town that has one.
The mayor told newspapers that villagers are content.
"The ordinance has brought happiness," he was quoted Tuesday as saying. "Unfortunately, two elderly citizens disobeyed."
It is also illegal to tell a man he has no balls in Italy. Below are some other strange laws from around the world.
