Reading News of the Weird can be quite educational. Did you know France has a law mandating that parties run equal numbers of male and female candidates? What the heck's the matter with the French? Do they still make their water pipes outa lead?

This month's municipal elections in France marked the first application of the country's recent law requiring political parties to field an equal number of female and male candidates. Female officeholders are scarcer in France than any other European country (one-fifth the incidence as in Sweden), and political parties that fall short of female candidates are subject to heavy fines.
