Weird Laws

It used to be a felony, which seems fitting. Sasquatch here is legally interchangeable with the terms Yeti, Bigfoot, and Giant Hairy Ape, but it seems clear that if you kill Sasquatch -- by any name -- it is you who are the true monster.

A developing duck embryo that’s boiled alive in its shell. As well as sounding incredibly harsh, it looks incredibly unappetising. Still, it’s a common street food and is usually served with beers. Can’t say I have the stomach for it.
