Excellent. So more rules are better. I expect Canada to lead the world in Qwash helmet legislation. The country with the most rules must be the best country if rules are ipso facto good.

I suppose they would be measured by weight of the books containing the rules, or maybe the number of pixels required to display them all, or total number of words.

A simple count of the number or rules wouldn't capture the fine detail, in the same way that a patent count doesn't show the value of individual patents in a mobile phone standard.

Lawyers charge by the second rather than by the kilogram, metre, bushel, lumen, lux or rad. So perhaps the value of laws should be measured by how long it takes a British Standard Lawyer to read out all the rules.

As you say, Chinese are stupid: <In Canada we are not free to ride with wind thru the hair as we personally (just taxes) do not pay long term costs of a severe crack to the mellon.

<<In China, the wind in your hair is more dirt in your hair than wind.>>

Free to be stupid ...

But they are third world, so that's understandable. However, Canadians are almost as stupid, since they don't wear Qwash helmets while walking or otherwise standing. Canadians are also less stupid than they used to be because they didn't used to wear crash helmets while riding bicycles but now they legally have to. That's evidence of the Flynn Effect.

Check the safety statistics GG. Falling off one's feet or otherwise being injured in the head while standing on them is far more common than noggin injuries while on a bicycle. I suspect even worse than on a motorcycle. Even being in bed isn't totally safe. And a Qwash helmet would be warm for cold Canadian nights.

Remember,

It's raining, it's pouring,
The old man's snoring.
Went to bed and bumped his head,
And couldn't get up in the morning.

So, send me the cheque for $50 and I'll send you your Qwash helmet for pedestrian wear. You can be one of the first Canadians to stop being stupid.
