France: It's illegal to name a pig Napoleon.

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFirst claim, from France: it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorInternet. The pig remains nameless and free, as the evidence suggests.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInternet. The Local found no such law, and no record of anyone ever being prosecuted over a pig's name.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo law? Then who is stopping the pigs?

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNobody. That is the finding.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSecond claim, from California: keeping a pet ferret is illegal.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorInternet. Nobody bans a small, long, harmless animal. Governments only ban things when they are winning.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal. Per Wikipedia, ferrets are illegal in California under Fish and Game Code Section twenty-one eighteen.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe ferrets are winning.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDale, you lack all sense of gravity.

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal claim, from the United Kingdom: all swans belong to the monarch, and killing one is treason.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. Every pond is a tiny kingdom, and the ducks know it. Treason, obviously.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInternet, mostly. The King can claim unmarked mute swans in open water, but mainly uses that right on parts of the Thames.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRoyal.uk says nothing of treason, and no source backs it.

15. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo out of three wrong. This court is a fraud, and I am ruling it INTERNET.

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWait, I am the court. Then the swans are right and I am guilty of treason.
