Longyearbyen, Norway: Nobody can be buried in this Arctic town.

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFirst law, from Longyearbyen in Norway: nobody can be buried in this Arctic town.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. When a town refuses to bury anyone, it knows something about the ground that we don't.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal, since nineteen fifty, per Wikipedia.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBodies cannot be buried there, though ashes can be with permission, and the terminally ill usually move to the mainland.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRight. I'm sorry to say it, but that's the first sign.

6. 

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

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. They've seen what a pig with that name does with a spare weekend. Apparently the French learned that lesson the hard way.

8. 

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

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo law?

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNone. The pigs have been free this entire time.

11. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen nothing is stopping them. Write that down, clerk.

12. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThird law, from the United Kingdom: handling a salmon in suspicious circumstances is a crime.

13. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorInternet. Nobody writes a law that unhinged unless the fish are already winning, and I refuse to believe it.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSection thirty-two of the Salmon Act of nineteen eighty-six targets dealing in illegally caught fish, and it now covers trout, eels and other freshwater fish.

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEels too. The whole river is a crime scene.

17. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Bearman, it is a fisheries law. You are in a costume.

18. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA costume that rules on the end of the world. And on that note, this court is hereby declared INTERNET.
