Only in Rio:

"State congressmen in Rio are more absent (from the House) than their colleagues who are in prison".

Yes, it is true that three current congressman in prison on corruption charges yet somehow are still supposedly "representing the people".

And, yes, it's true that that some of the other noble congressman have turned up for work less often than those who are in prison.

And even if you could get an approved bottle (which you can't) you are only allowed to walk home with petrol in it. If you put it in your car it's dangerous-goods offense. If you keep a bottle of gasoline at home it's an environmental crime.

With the trucker's strike in Brazil people have been lining up to fill up bottles with petrol for their cars and motorbikes where they can. Except that a law was passed in 2008 saying just what sort of bottles are allowed to have petrol put in them.

The ABNT (Brazilian standards association) says the bottle must have the date or lifespan, and be certified by Inmetro (the certification agency). Inmetro says they don't certify this sort of bottle.

Welcome to Brazil.
