It is illegal to import pork products into Yemen, with a maximum punishment of death.
Alot of places don't like anything to do with pork but the punishment of death seems alittle harsh to me. Shouldn't it be like a fine or jail time? Some people like pork even if a whole country is against it. So if you can't get it in your country why can't you bring it back? I know why but what I mean is cuban cigars are banned from the U.S.A but you don't get killed for the offense. Also the "Maximum" punishment is death....I'd hate to see what the punishment is thats worse then that.

SmokeA 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......

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.

Injured on the jobAcriminal 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.
