Vanessa's in Peru and I'm getting together a care package for her. Yesterday, whilst poking around in the Canada Post website, I came across the list of prohibited items - things I am not allowed to ship to her.

Sure, some of it I can kind of understand (contraceptives to an 81% Roman Catholic country) but the following really stumped me...

-calendars
-interior ornaments (here's a little knick-knack for your house, oh, NOT)
-linen, household
-soap, cosmetics
-pictoral novels and short stories featuring violence
-playing cards
-sound recordings
-stationary
-used clothing and shoes
-wooden utensils
I'm sure they have their reasons (ie: all paper products are imported) but as far as I'm concerned (I can't send a new journal?), they are probably all STUPID.
