What is it illegal to call a pig in France?
Apparently Napolean. It was never removed the statute book.
I wonder if that caused a problem with the French translation of Animal Farm.

There was a problem with AF - not from a legal view, however - and you can't call your pig Francois Hollande right now, but Jeeves is wrong.

Today's Ask Jeeves question is why were mince pies banned in England in 1644. Apparently, Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas. Banned Christmas, I can't believe it! Wait a minute, perhaps that's not such a bad idea...
