That would be difficult. The only laws from Holland in that archive are: - It is legal to smoke pot, buy it, or have less than 5 grams with you. And: - Prostitution is legal but the prostitutes must pay taxes like any other business. >I'm Danish .. do you want some explanations for some of the laws from Denmark ? Let me see... "If a horse drawn carriage is trying to pass a car and the horse becomes uneasy, the owner of the car is required to pull over and if necessary, cover the car." Ahem, cover it with what? I usually only have my coat with me... "Attempt to escape from prison is not illegal, however, if one he is caught he is required to serve out the remainder of his term." Now that's just not fair. I think someone should be rewarded for attempting to escape! "No one may start a car while someone is underneath the vehicle." You Danish sure know how to take the fun out of starting your car. "When driving, you must have someone in front of your car with a flag to warn horse drawn carriages that a motorcar is coming." So how come Denmark don't hold the world record for the Marathon? "Any carport added to a building increases the value of the building by 15.5 times the cost of building the addition." _That_ is a law??? -- __ ___ / ) _/_ _(_ /'_ _ _ /(_/()/)(/(-/ / (/(-(/(-/) _/ Castrate me to reply by e-mail "One planet is all you get."
