    About this ebook

    Useless knowledge about laws

    Hidden deep in the dusty archives of law books and legal documents are some of the most bizarre, amazing and sometimes downright hilarious laws ever enacted. From the ban on collecting rainwater in parts of Australia to the bizarre rule that cabs in Victoria can carry a guide dog but not an ordinary dog, this book reveals the most outlandish laws from around the world you'll ever read!

    "Useless Knowledge of Laws" is not only a collection of fascinating facts, but also offers a unique perspective on the cultural, historical and sometimes humorous backgrounds that led to the creation of these laws. For example, why is it illegal to drive a car backwards in Thailand, except in an emergency? And why on earth would it be necessary in Western Australia to enact a regulation restricting the possession of over 50 kg of potatoes?

    The book not only makes you smile, but also offers illuminating insights into the often complex cultural and social dynamics that have led to the introduction of such laws. It shows how countries and cultures have evolved over time, and often these seemingly absurd-sounding laws reveal deep cultural wisdom or important social context.

    "Useless Knowledge of Laws" is the perfect gift for the curious reader, the budding law student, or simply anyone who enjoys strange and unexpected facts. It's a journey around the world through its most bizarre legislation and guarantees that you'll be armed with a wealth of fascinating talking points after reading this book.

    Step into a world where the unexpected and the absurd go hand in hand, and discover how the law - a tool often seen as dry and formal - is actually full of surprises, curiosities and, yes, a little madness too. You'll never look at law books the same way again!

      Dec 20, 2018

      Sharks are the apex predator of the ocean - they are at the top of the food chain, prey to no other animal in the water. Their size, strength and, of course, their teeth make them the quintessential movie monsters. In real life, they regularly get sc
