Abnormal Laws

As we all know, there are a set of rules/laws which every ci�zen is made to follow.
Various countries have their own laws. Some laws adopted by few countries reach a level of mediocrity that
we find them hilarious !!

Here are some of the most unusual laws across countries-

1. It’s illegal to ski in Switzerland while reci�ng a poem.
2. A chicken cannot cross the road in Georgia. Guess why?Because it’s illegal.
3. In Scotland, you must allow strangers to use your bathroom if they need it.
4. If you’re married, and you happen to live in Samoa, be�er never forget your wife’s birthday. You’ll be
jailed if you happen to do so.
5. Children in Kalispell must have a doctor's prescrip�on to buy a lollipop.
6. Men aren’t allowed to wear skirts in Italy.
7. Pregnant women in Madagascar aren’t allowed to wear a hat.
8. Wearing heels at Greece’s historic places is illegal because they believe that it will disturb the
monument.
9. Parents who send their kids to school in North Korea have to provide desks, chairs, and building
material.
10. In Denmark, if a person finds a lost child, he/she can claim the child as their own if the parents don’t
show up within 2 hours.

Meet the new members from the Universe

There are two new gaseous planets found orbi�ng outside the solar system.

The two exoplanets that orbit stars outside our solar system are called planet B and planet C.

They orbit around a star known as HD 152843, which has a similar mass to our sun and is 1.5 �mes bigger

and brighter.

Planet B is about the size of Neptune, which is 3.4 �mes larger than the Earth.

It completes one orbit around the star every 12 Earth days.

The planet C is 5.8 �mes bigger than the Earth, which makes it a sub-Saturn. It completes an orbit between
19 and 30 days.

The scien�sts took help from the Planet Hunters TESS. This NASA founded project, available on the
Zooniverse website includes more than 29000 people around the globe.

This site allows people to search exoplanets using the data from NASA's Transi�ng Exoplanets Survey
Satellite, or the TESS mission.
