The U.K's Most Ridiculous Rules!
Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com
Ever been to the U.K?
You'll be surprised to know some of the strange rules and laws you've been breaking all this time!
1. It’s Illegal To Be Drunk in a Pub
This has to be one of the most commonly broken laws. But not by the patrons! The responsibility actually falls on the pub landlord to stop serving any patrons who have had one too many.
If he serves you, yes. He's the one breaking the law!
2. No Dying in the Houses of Parliament!
What are they going to do if you do die? Arrest you?
Well, the building is technically a palace so anyone who croaks there is entitled to a state funeral.
3. Don’t Import Polish Potatoes
This isn’t some archaic decree from yore, if not a law from 2004. “no person shall import into England potatoes which he knows to be (or suspects to be) Polish potatoes."
Additional Fact: It actually has to do with keeping out pests and diseases.
4. It’s Illegal to ‘Handle a Salmon in Suspicious Circumstances’
This bizarre law is actually from the 80's and only applies to England Scotland and Wales.
So you can suspiciously handle a Salmon in Northern Ireland, then?
5. Males Over 14 Must Learn How to Handle a Longbow
It’s still on the books that all Englishmen 14 and up are meant to have two hours of weekly longbow practice, under supervision of the local clergy.
Additional; Might come in handy for some future Hunger Games-like scenario. They could at least update this law to let teenage girls take longbow lessons too?
6. It's Illegal to Fly a Kite
It's even illegal to slide on ice in the street.
The Town Police Clauses Act can win you 14 days imprisonment for flying a kite in “any street, to the obstruction, annoyance, or danger of the residents or passengers.”
7. In Scotland, You Have to Let a Stranger Use Your Loo
There are some legal antecedents stemming from the fact that rural Scottish properties were so far apart that by the time you reached the next house, chances are you'd be desperate to go, and better in the toilet than out in the heather.
It's all part of the friendly hospitality up in the Highlands.
8. It's Illegal to Move a Dead Whale.
Since 1322 it's against the law for anyone to remove a dead whale or sturgeon from the British coastline because it technically becomes the property of the ruling monarch once it is beached.
9. It's Illegal to Carry a Plank of Wood While Walking Along the Pavement
Is easy to see how this law came about in 1839 and it still stands today. If you’re caught breaking this law they might make you walk the plank.
10. Don’t Make Your House a Pigsty
Since 1847, it’s actually illegal to keep a pigsty in the front yard of your home.
However, a front-yard pigsty is permissible as long as its “duly hidden.”

most-dangerous-places-to-live-in-the
Beware now in reverse order, the most dangerous places to live on the planet! You've been warned!
6. Grand Cayman
The Cayman Islands, a British territory situated 150 miles south of Cuba, are best known as a tropical playground for the champagne and caviar set, who come to the islands for pristine Caribbean beaches, world-class diving, and lax banking regulations. Less alluring is the islands' other reputation as "hurricane capital of the world." According to the tropical-storm-tracking website hurricanecity.com, Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman isles, is hit or brushed by at least one hurricane every 2.16 years, more than any other locale in the Atlantic basin. Since 1871, 64 storms have battered the low-lying limestone formation, often with catastrophic results.
In 2004, Hurricane Ivan, a Category 5 storm with wind speeds approaching 150 miles per hour, dumped a foot of rain on Grand Cayman. A 10-foot storm surge followed, submerging a quarter of the island. An estimated 70 percent of the island's buildings were destroyed, and its 40,000 inhabitants were left without power or clean water for days.
5 the Ephemeral Isles
The Maldives are such a dangerous place that President Nasheed created a fund for financing the relocation of the entire population. in the not-too-distant future, it is likely to be swallowed whole by rising sea levels. And By Nasheed's reckoning, the people of the Maldives would be well-served to find someplace else—India or Sri Lanka were floated as potential refuges—lest they too become ephemeral.
4) Lake Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo/Rwanda
Lake Kivu, is one of Africa's Great Lakes. Deep below the surface of this lake's 2700 square miles, there are 2.3 trillion cubic feet of methane gas, along with 60 cubic miles of carbon dioxide trapped beneath the lake under the pressure of the water and earth. If released from the depths, these gases could spread a cloud of death over the 2 million Africans who make their home in the Lake Kivu basin.
3) Gonaïves, Haiti
Aside from its coastal location on the Gulf of Gonve, smack-bang in the cyclone-inclined Caribbean, Gonaïves rests on a flood plain prone to washing out when inland rivers swell. Also, Haitians rely on wood as their primary source of fuel, and this has led to massive deforestation of the hillsides surrounding the city. As a result, when the rains come, the hills around Gonaïves melt away and mudslides nearly bury the city.
2) Verkhoyansk, Russia
Verkhoyansk lays claim to the title of coldest city in the world, the so-called Cold Pole. From September to March the city averages fewer than 5 hours of sunlight each
1) Mount Merapi, Indonesia
The 10,000 foot high "Fire Mountain," as its name translates to English, has erupted about 60 times in the

WHAT
what-happens-when-you-poop-on-a-plane...
Poo raining down from the sky! People getting their intestines sucked out! Or people getting pierced by an icicle made of urine! There are a lot of legends and myths about airplane lavatories, but what really happens when you poop on a plane?
1. Loud and fast.
When you flush a vacuum toilet it roars like it's firing your waste into outer space, but that noise is just the vacuum sucking the waste down through the pipework. The force is such, that the waste actually travels faster than a formula one car.
2. No Dumping.
Contrary to common belief an aircraft toilet doesn't evacuate waste into the sky, neither does the pilot have a button that allows them to dump this excess weight. The waste from the toilets travels through pipes to a rear storage tank that can only be accessed and cleaned from the outside of the plane by special waste disposal trucks designed for that purpose.
3. Vacuum loo.
Traditional siphon toilets can't be used on an airplane because they use too much water and the waste in the tank could come back out of the toilet when the plane descends, to solve this problem, James Kemper invented and patented the Vacuum toilet in 1975 to be used together with a blue disinfectant liquid known as Skykem.
4. Waste tank
Even though the vacuum toilet uses about seven times less water than a traditional toilet, a fully occupied 747 on a long-haul flight will produce around 1000 liters of wastewater. That's about as much as it takes to fill a 6 person jacuzzi, although thanks to the Skykem, it probably contains fewer bacteria.
5. Blue Ice.
There have been several cases of homes being hit by blue ice, this ice is caused by human waste and Skykem leaking out from the external valve, onto the undercarriage and freezing, then, as the plane descends to land this blue ice becomes loose and falls.
6. Intestine myth.
Even though airplane toilets used to have disclaimers about flushing whilst seated, there isn't really any danger involved in doing so.
Even an obese person can't actually create an airtight seal whilst sitting on the toilet because the toilet seat and the bowl have a gap between them. Even if you were to use the toilet without the seat by sitting directly on the bowl, the negative pressure caused by the vacuum wouldn't be enough to suck out your intestines.
7. Dirty
Now you no longer have to fear falling poop or getting your guts sucked out by a toilet you may feel better about flushing an airplane's toilet but you should still be cautious, the number of people using the same bathroom means that there are a huge amount of bacteria and germs in there. Use a paper towel to push the flush button and then wash your hands, dry your hands with another paper towel, and then use it to open the door before throwing it in the trash.
We hope you e

See the lights from Canada, Iceland, Finland, Scotland, Sweden, Norway and space!
What are the Northern Lights?
These dazzling displays occur when proton and electrons stream out from the sun and slam into the Earth's magnetic field.
Different ions make different colors, such as vibrant waves of green, blue, purple and red across the sky.
They're considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
Vikings thought they were the shining weapons of immortal warriors.
Laplanders thought these "fox fires" were created by the swooshing tail of an Arctic fox.
Inuit believed they were the souls of animals.
Auroras are relatively dim, and the redder light is often at the limit of what human retinas can pick up. Watch them through a video camera for better viewing!
The best time to see them is March to April, September to October, or anytime there is a solar storm.
They are unpredictable, and there are no guarantees you'll see them if you visit the north at that time.

Smartflower pop – the world’s first all-in-one solar system
(plug & play)
Efficient energy production: up to 40% more output
its extraordinary construction and the perfectly synchronized components, the system delivers, on an average, approx. 4,000 kwh per year, thus fulfilling the complete average electricity requirement of a household
as the sun rises in the morning, smartflower pop unfolds itself completely automatically. It directs its solar modular fan (with a surface area of 18 m2) towards the sun and begins producing electricity for you
it consistently maintains the electricity supply and even uses the energy from the last sun rays efficiently enough to cover your early evening electricity requirements.
Innovative smart features
smart use:
delivered as an all-in-one complete system and is operational within an hour. No complex assembly is required
designed for maximum performance
it reliably provides electricity throughout the day.
Smart tracking:
thanks to the astronomical control system, the solar modular fan moves horizontally and vertically along with the sun’s position, even when it’s cloudy. This guarantees optimum alignment with the sun – an exact 90° angle
despite the lower space requirement, up to 40% more output as compared to that of a conventional rooftop system
smart cleaning:
easily rids itself of dust deposits or snow by folding and unfolding itself
smart cooling:
hot modules deliver less electricity than cool modules. 10°c more means 5% less output. Are always rear-ventilated – hot air cannot accumulate due to their construction.
Smart safety:
the sensors permanently monitor the wind speed. In winds above 54 km/h, smartflower pop automatically folds into its secure position in order to avoid damages
the sensors continue to function and when the wind decreases, the system folds out completely and returns to its electricity-producing tracking position.
Smart mobility
smartflower pop is mobile! Just unscrew the four anchoring bolts and cart it away.
Smart options:
it is available in eight colours – from the trendy berry to the classic pearl.

amazing-ancient-ruins-found-in-forgotten
Ancient cities built from more rock than the pyramids! Massive ancient stadiums! A fortress carved into a mountain and a temple bigger than the Parthenon carved out of one single rock! All this and more in Amazing Ancient Ruins That'll Blow Your Mind!
Ephesus, Turkey.
The area around this city was inhabited as early as 6000BC but the city itself was founded in the 10th century BC, and it was conquered and reconquered by many different people throughout its history, however, the majority of the ruins left today come from the Greeks and Romans over 2000 years ago. The great thing about these ruins is that you can be a part of them, imagining you're in that era, entering the Library of Celsus and reading one of the 12,000 scrolls held there, sitting in the great theatre cheering with 25,000 Romans, strolling down the Ancient Royal Road with Saint Paul and his disciples.
Angkor, Cambodia.
Angkor was the capital city of the Khmer empire from the 9th to the 15th century. Judging by the size of the area's irrigation and agricultural systems is estimated to have supported between 750,000 and 1 million people. Over 1000 temples are scattered over the area but the most breathtaking is Angkor Wat. Surrounded by 620ft wide moat and then 98ft of open ground, Angkor Wat is nearly 9 million sqft making it the largest religious structure in the world! It is covered in stone carvings and bas-reliefs depicting Hindu stories and religious events. The entire city of Angkor was bigger than modern-day Paris and used more stone than all the Egyptian pyramids combined, and unlike the Egyptians, who got their stone from a quarry a third of a mile away, Angkor's stone came from a quarry over 25 miles away!
Masada, Israel.
Perched on the top of an isolated rock, this fortress was built over 2000 years ago for King Herod to use in the event of a revolt. The complex had storehouses, barracks, a church, a stepped pool, a quarry, and a bathhouse, and many other buildings, including giant water cisterns that were used for capturing and storing rainwater. The fortress was only accessible by three narrow paths that led up the cliffside to three fortified gates.
Ayutthaya, Thailand.
Founded in the 14th century by King U Thong who went there to escape a smallpox outbreak, it quickly became a bustling city and by the 17th century, it had a population of around 300,000 people. In the early 1700s, it's estimated that the city had a population of around a million people, making it one of the largest cities in the world at that time. In 1767 the city was attacked and destroyed by the Burmese Army and the city was subsequently abandoned, the ruins that remain today give us an idea of the cities former grandeur.
