Most ridiculous British law:
最可笑的英國法令:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27 percent)
在議會死掉是違法的. (最好是你可以因為違反這條法令把人抓進監牢! 好奇違法的罰責是什麼?!)

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (seven percent)
把有英國國王頭像的郵票上下顛倒貼是叛國行為. (我是信拿反不行嗎?!)

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (six percent)
在利物浦, 女人是不能上空的, 除非她是熱帶魚店的員工. (因為熱帶魚需要看到上空的女職員才能自我催眠還在熱帶地區游泳嗎?)

4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day (five percent)
請勿在聖誕節吃肉餡餅. (這條是要給聖誕老公公的吧?! 免得卡在煙囪下不來?!)

5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter (four percent)
在蘇格蘭, 如果有人敲門要借用廁所, 你必須要讓他進來. (所以以後強盜哪需破門而入, 先借個廁所就行了嘛!)

6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet (four percent)
懷孕的女人可以合法的隨處紓解她的需要(可以隨地大小便的意思吧), 包括在警察的帽子裡. (我是沒當過孕婦啦, 不過應該算是個... 體貼孕婦的法令吧! 比蘇格蘭可以到處借廁所還方便!)

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen (3.5 percent)
在英國海岸發現任何死鯨魚的頭, 即是英國國王的財產, 鯨魚尾則屬於英國女王. (我不啃魚頭, 對尾巴也沒興趣, 但是鯨魚肚可以給我吃嗎?! 吃在海岸邊撿到的鯨魚頭的人, 記得喊聲謝主隆恩, 吃鯨魚尾的要對女王存著感恩的心, 可別搞錯感謝的對象喔!!)

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (three percent)
不告訴查稅員你不想要讓他知道的事情是不合法的, 但是, 不把你不介意他知道的事情告訴他則是合法的. (我是善良公民, 我所有的事情都不介意查稅員知道, 所以我不用告訴他任何事! XD)

9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour (three percent)
穿著盔甲進入議會是違法的. (打起架來都沒有盔甲是比較公平一點啦! 還是怕盔甲太笨重, 哪天打架會妨礙靈活度? )

10. In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (two percent)
在約克, 在古城牆謀殺蘇格蘭人是合法的, 但先決條件是他必須攜帶著弓箭. (那有什麼難? 我可以幫他準備好弓箭嘛!)
