A man breaks into a old farm house that belongs to a friend of his to steal some guns. After breaking in and taking the guns, the man decides to sleep in the house. However, the old house is cold and doesn't have much in the way of a heating system. So, the burglar decides to use the fireplace. What he doesn't know is that the chimneys are covered to prevent raccoon from getting in them. The man makes his fire and goes to sleep, but he never wakes up. The house, along with the burglar, burn overnight.

The story's out come is sad even though he was someone who would even steal from his friend. The guy must have been poor to have to spend the night. Unless he didn't feel like going all the way back home right a way. My guess is the house was empty for a long period of time and in turn no heating system and a loss of memory of the chimney covering. Unless he was never told at all about it by his friend. The moral of today's story is never steal from a friend......

Belgium Laws
A driver who needs to turn through oncoming traffic has the right of way unless he slows down or stops.

I know some people tend to turn into oncoming traffic as through U turns do it anyway even if it is against the law but mentioning the subject in a law itself shocks me. Usually this is illegal in general but the law actually states that you could as long as you don't slow down or stop. Pretty much saying you could do it but good luck in the outcome. Many accidents could occur from this. Who would be at fault? The guy who turned but didn't slow down or the guy who hit him cause he didn't see him?

In Fairbanks, it is illegal to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.
Feeding alcoholic beverages can lead to bad things. I don't see how a moose would actually want to come up to a human and drink it but I guess there are some ways this act can be performed. I imagine that a moose after drinking alcoholic beverages can cause it to do some dangerous things if the alcohol does not technically make the moose grow ill. I mean the moose could attack someone if hostile while still be under the influence.

While it is legal to shoot bears, waking sleeping bears for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited.
I don't see why anyone would want to wake a bear up for a photograph. A photograph of a sleeping bear would do just fine for me. A photograph of one awake could cost a arm and a leg. An actual arm and a leg.
A law in Fairbanks, does not allow moose to have sex on city streets.
Let me take a guess and say the punishment for the moose is being shot? I mean putting it in a cell wouldn't do much since the moose still gets to eat. Which is what animals want the most.(Food) I think his human cell mates might mind him being there though.

Acriminal broke into the basement of a bank through a street-level window. In the process, however, he suffered from several lacerations. After he realized that he could neither get the money nor climb back through the window from whence he came, the robber panicked. Realizing he was going to bleed to death if he did not get help, he located a phone and dialed 911. The rest, as they say, is history.

Under the circumstances this guy made the right move. Either die or be saved and serve some jail time. At lease he didn't steal anything. So all he can get charged with is attempted robbery or something of that nature. The way the writer desribes the tale it is as if the robber was stupid for what he has done. I think he was stupid for the accidents that occured but in the end he made the right decision.

Nashville Laws
No person may keep a cheetah as a pet.
Shouldn't it be no one is allowed to keep any wild animal as a pet? Not just a cheetah? Its obvious why such a law exists because you hear these kinds on stories on the news about people being attcked by animals. Monkeys have been the latest story. A group of monkeys at a zoo attacked a keeper and he has had serious injuries and a vast amount of his body.
Males may not be sexually aroused in public.
Something that can be accidental but should be a law. I don't think it should require a serious charge though. Its not always the man's fault after all. What if someone provoked the thought? Do they get a charger as well or just the man?
Anyone rollerblading may not tie his or herself to a moving vehicle on a highway.
It should be a law in general not just for a high way. Either way it can be a very dangerous act where someone could trip and get dragged by the moving car.
No person may roller skate and listen to a personal cd player at the same time.
This is a good one because listening to music is dulling down your sense of hearing inwhich could keep you from getting in a serious accident. This law is probably one that exists in many areas of the world.
Throwing stones is prohibited as it might break a window.
Also a good one. It is specified to not throwing stones at All. Meaning it is not allowed anywhere. Which is a good thing since kids like throwing stones at animals and moving cars from what I have seen in the world.
To play pinball, one must be 18 years old.
Not all these laws can be smart can they? I don't see the need for this one since pinball is not a game that contains adult material and conduct. Its just an ordinary game. I say if there should be a age limit it shouldn't be 18. It should be alittle lower.
All persons riding scooters must ride in single file.
I hardly ever see anyone riding scooters so this law shouldn't effect many people. But even so riding in single file is alittle strange. I understand it if its on the side of the road but what about a country like scene?
Spitting is prohibited on sidewalks.
Spitting is asking to spread your germs. I still don't think it should be a law though. I personally do not spit but no one is really getting severely hurt if they witness such a act. Unless they decide to like the spit themselves I don't see a diasaster happening from it.
