Oooh! Fun! Great thread idea, Deathybrad!
Japanese (and other Asians, I suspect) are born with a black-and-blue bruise on their bums. It goes away during the first few months of life, but I know of several cases of Japanese folks in the US who had Child Services called on them when a babysitter, for example, noticed this monster bruise on the baby's bum!
Re one-handed piano players...maybe because listeners are only getting 'half' a performance? we have some whack laws in the US eh?

From Texas:

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
One must acknowledge a supreme being before being able to hold public office.
A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.
It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.
And my favorite:
Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos.

Great thread Brad,,,im full of useless info. my kinda thread
The world record setting longest completed trip with the parking brake on is 313.8 miles. Discuss.
Okay,strange things people think of doing
I had a car that I could drive with the Parking Brake on... It was a '82-83 Cougar (same one that plowed through the deer). It got around 13 mpg.
I can't remember how far I had driven it before I realized the Parking Brake was on... Probably a few weeks.
Haha I've done that before,when I was learning to drive,my sister got mad,I don't know why,does it fuck up your car?
Haha... My car was such crap that my dad didn't care. Here's the same question posted with answers...
http://ask.metafilter.com/54880/Driv...-parking-brake
I'll never forget as long as I live when I had my beloved Red cougar. As I'm going home with 2 of my kids in the car my brakes failed me. Then the car started going fast and I'm maneuvering the steering wheel (scared to death) I didn't think to pull the emergency brake. All I was doing was steering and luckily after say 3 minutes it came to a complete stop in front of my house. God was with me that day because I could've plowed into a tree. Although that Cougar served me quite well before the brakes got bad.
Thanks Ratgrrl,here's another stupid question-why do cars even have parking brakes?
Think of it this way... If you had hit a tree, the tree would no longer exist. That's what I loved about that car.I'll never forget as long as I live when I had my beloved Red cougar. As I'm going home with 2 of my kids in the car my brakes failed me. Then the car started going fast and I'm maneuvering the steering wheel (scared to death
You're welcome Layne! If your regular brakes fail you're supposed to be able to engage your emergency brake to stop the car. Also, if you drive a manual transmission it keeps the car from rolling while parked... Or, if you park on a hill you can use them.
I don't even remember why I used it in the Cougar since it was an automatic. I always use it if I park a car with a clutch though... Even on flat ground.

Sorry I don't know much about cars except you drive them,lol
Oh sheesh, no need to say sorry for that... lol. I learned to drive on a manual transmission and my dad pretty much had it drilled into my head before I ever got my license that if I was ever going to drive his car I better know how to use the Parking Brake...

I hate when people park our work van and use the e brake. GRRR its an automatic, and our driveway is barely even inclined.
I was driving to Bowling Green, Ohio from my house in Mentor on the turnpike, 90 west, when I observed a person attempting to set the worlds record for the longest left hand turn, or louie, if you like. I entered the toll road at Lorain exit. Grandpa put his left turn signal on to get off at the same exit. We drove up to the first rest stop, about 5 miles up the road and he still had his left turn indicator on. I pulled off at the rest stop for a whizz and some Starbucks.(venti decaff) I was a little hungry so I grabbed a baggle at Panara. This all took some time. After I left the rest stop and resumed my two and a half hour cruise to BG, I came upon old louie up the road quite a bit. The rest stop break took at least 15 to 20 minutes or so. He still had that left turn signal on as I blew past him. Now 90 west runs clear out to Oregon or Hawaii or something. For all I know old lefty was headed way, way out west with that durn turn signal on the entire way, determined to set that record. Atta boy, Gramps.
In Kansas it is illegal to shoot a rabbit from a motorboat. Discuss.

One late afternoon I was heading to a night class in my unbeloved Vega station wagon, when an orange Grimlin pulled out in front of me. I swerved to the left to keep from T-boning it, and lost control of my car. Grim just kept on going. The shit.
The steering wheel was spinning and I was all over the dang two lane, scared shitless, headed for a 30 foot drop off on the left hand side of the road. I knew better than to put on the brakes, so I just let it go.
As my front wheels came within a dime of the drop off, the steering wheel righted and gained control of the car. Whew!
Shoulda used the parking brake...
