The country of Estonia (in Northern Europe below Finland) is believed to be the first country in the world to levy a fart tax! No kidding. Estonian authorities have slapped a flatulence tax on farmers to compensate the country for the methane gas produced by their cows. The so-called "fart tax" is to compensate for the greenhouse gases the cattle produce which can be as much as 350 liters of methane and 1,500 liters of carbon dioxide per cow, per day! The farmers say the whole thing stinks. (Ananova)


Sorry, the idiot in me appreciates a good fart joke, especially one with positive implications for the environment!

You know that global warming is all the cows fault.

It is true that they do produce THAT much methane.

Omg, that's just stupid. Almost as dumb as this law:
In San Diego, CA It is illegal for a woman to drive a car in a housecoat. -_-

Crazy laws, eh? Holy cow!

MissMTS

What? Are you kidding?!!! I live in SD and I've never heard of that law!

There's all kinds of goofy old laws sitting in the books.. from the era when citizens had more rights than criminals.
