A Useless Fact a Day

You are not allowed to drive past the Minnesota state border with a duck on your head.
You are not allowed to sleep on top of a refrigerator outside in Pennsylvania.
You are not allowed to whistle underwater in Vermont.
You are not allowed to die in London's Houses of Parlimentary.

There are some weird laws out there.

Useless statement = / = Useless fact

in many top 100 misspelled words (misspelled is one of the most misspelled words btw), this word will never be on there.

Yeah, have to agree with E.V.I.L on this. Remember is a word that sounds the same way it is spelled, and I doubt anyone spells it "remebre". I would say something like "colonel" is more misspelled.

 

[SBManiac!!!!!!]

My most misspelled word is recieve. (Sigh...receive.)

70: In Alaska it is illegal to look at a moose from the window of an airplane or any other flying vehicle. (there are some stupid laws out there.)
