Nope :P And if they are, they certainly not topless. I'll keep it in mind though if I ever see a tropical fish shop with a nice chick inside.

LoL... Rightly said David, I doubt about these laws being even real... Only the 2nd & the 9th one appear to be somewhat sensible to me... The rest of them... LoL... I bow my head to the one who ever wrote them [he must have been a good sort of a comedian] LoL... I can't just stop LoL....
I hope this wil be added sooner : "Too much of LoL is ILLEGAL"... LOL...
Truly appreciated Thomas, I dunno where you get such information from.. anyways, you've made my day, err, night...
