Things about Cuba:
* It has roughly 11 million inhabitants. Of which less that 80 are foreign residents/workers.
* It could take about 20 hours to drive from one tip to the other.
* The rainy season is between May-September.
* There are two currencies. The National Peso and the Convertible Peso. Tourists only use the Convertible Peso.
* A beer in a bar (not in touristy areas) will cost you about 40 - 60p.
* The girls are fit and up for it.
* Education and health are free for Cubans and of a very good standard.
* Crime rates are very, very low.
* DVD players and Playstations have not been took off the prohibited list and are now permitted to brought into the country for personal use.
* There is no Premiership football on TV channels in Cuba.
* Unless in a tourist vehicle, hitch hiking is the way of transport for many people. There are people employed to stop cars with free spaces in to assist the travelling masses.

Unique among the state flags of the union, the Ohio State Flag was designed by John Eisemann. Described as a pennant, the Ohio burgee is properly a swallowtail design. It was adopted in 1902.

The Ohio flag, unique in shape but uncomplicated in design, is filled with symbolism. The union of the flag, a large blue triangle is populated with seventeen white stars. Those that are grouped around the circle represent the thirteen original colonies. The four stars found at the apex of the triangle combine with the stars of the thirteen original colonies to total seventeen. Ohio was the seventeenth state to enter the union.

Three red and two white horizontal stripes and the blue field copy the red, white and blue of the Stars and Stripes. The blue field represents Ohio's hills and valleys. The stripes represent the roads and waterways of the state.

The white circle with its red center forms the "O" in Ohio and can also be related to the state's nickname, the "Buckeye State."

Necrophilia is not considered as an actual crime as it is seen as too abhorrent.

In other words, you'd get done for either murdering someone or digging their grave up to have as you wish with them, not for the act of carnality itself.

Read it in a Jeffrey Dahmer book, interesting if true.
