Congratulations! Welcome to the world of sleep deprivation and joy. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
Have you thought of a name yet? Or do you want suggestions from us? (I'd suggest not, unless you want a kid called "Baby McBabyFace")

Haven't thought of the name yet. I am still planning and plotting to retain the only 3 drawers in the wardrobes (yes, plural) that I have to keep my stuff. As of this morning, I had 1.5 square feet of space to keep my motorcycling gear, camera and some of our documents.
I noticed that what used to be my sock drawer has now become "sock and absolutely anything else which could be stuffed in it drawer".

Thanks for the offer. I guess I will refrain from it.

Congrats. Your life has meaning and purpose now.

Congratulations, youngster! I'm envious, as I've never had the opportunity to raise children of my own, and now I'm far too old. But I've been blessed to help on more than one occasion, to raise some other folks' kids. All of them turned out to be spectacular people I'm proud to claim as at least partly my own, and my joy in knowing them knows no bounds. If I've accomplished nothing else in life of value, that alone justifies my existence. I wish you all the best!

I am surpised that this legally was "international waters". Most nations claim sovereign rights to the seabed 12 miles from the shore, but this cannot be more than a hundred meters or less.
Btw: Here in Norway, we reserve the right to throw you in prison for acts that are perfectly legal in your home country, acts that were legal even in this country at the time you performed them, even if you are not a Norwegian citizen or an inhabitant of Norway. As soon as you set your foot on Norwegain ground (e.g. as a tourist), we may arrest you, telling you that we last year made illegal in Norway what you did in your homeland ten years ago, and we will give you a few years in jail for it.
We don't to that regularly, of course, but in principle we could. We maintain it as a threat to keep away people of cultures that we consider incompatible with our own, but we have no legal right (according to international agreements) from stopping you at the border. So we rather say: Come on, but then we'll throw you in jail for having broken Norwegian law, long time before you even knew that Norway is a country.
These are moral laws, of course - not criminal ones. We are much more afraid of diverging morals than of bombs.

Hence, in one of the great documents of all time (U S Constitution), there's protection against just such things "ex post facto".
Such a capability is essentially a "Tyrants Welcome" sign.

So we have in the Norwegian constitution as well.
But we find ways to get around this limitation. One of the internationally recognized "excuses" is to label it a "crime against humanity". That is: It has obviously always been a crime, that is given by human nature. So everybody should have known it to be a crime whether stated in the law or not. Then we can throw you in jail, or shoot you. Even though it was not written down in the laws at the time you did your crime, it was nevertheless forbidden, because it always were.
That's the way they defend it. Morals are forever, and WE are the one pushing those eternal and true morals. Even though a multitude of cultures all around the world disagrees with us, they are simply wrong. True and everlasting morals are those WE judge by, and they never change. Breaking our universal, everlasting morals is sort of a light version of "crime against humanity". Therefore, we can practice the laws the way we do, in spite of our constitution and the UN Bill of Human Rights.

So - I guess we know who authored [^] your Constitution!
Quote: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."
Take that last line as double entendre

That's definitely a mistake, it's not "international waters." Use useless reporting/proofing.
However off-shore is under a different jurisdiction/authority (marine something-something) as compared to on-shore (parks & recreation.)

Fifty years ago, the Norwegian jurisciction extended to 4 miles out from the shore. In the 1970s, Norwegian movie censorship was more restrictive than even that of the US, so lots of movies were forbidden or classified as 18+. One of the Norwegian movie makers whose movie was completely forbidden chose to rent a ferry with huge white painted sides with no windows, suitable as a movie screen. The cinema projector was placed on a nearby boat, and people were invited to come out to the sea in their small boats to watch the forbidden movie...
I don't remember when Norwegian law was extended to 12 miles out from the coast. Later, fixed installations (such as oil rigs) within 50 miles from the shore was included. Moral laws apply to Norwegain citizens anywhere in the world: Even if an action is perfectly legal in the country you visit, you may be imprisoned for doing exactly the same as everybody around you is doing legally. The same goes for anyone who is living in Norway (e.g. as a refugee) without being a citizen. We recently had a case where a married couple came as refugees: They were separated, the husband thrown in jail and his wife was not allowed to even visit him, because she was only 14 (I believe he was 17) and that is too young for being married in Norway. (Well... when my own mother was 14, she could have been granted permission to marry, but 14 year olds of today does not have any option to apply for the king's permission.)
Having just finished Christmas celebration, it is a fascinating thought that if Joseph and Mary had come to Norway today, Joseph would have been thrown in jail, and the child would have been taken care of by the Child Protection services. (Mary was probably 12, maybe 13 years old when Jesus was born.)

Singapore likewise strict, they can drug test you on arrival (and they have publicized arrests doing just that).
if it's in your system and they test you, you will get booked regardless carrying (really not a good idea) or not.
Includes even if only here in transit/flight change, and there's no waiting on the plane allowed, even if your continuing flight is the very same aircraft.
Also carrying porn, weapons (even ammunition) not smart at all.
Despite rumors you can have chewing gum, but best to keep it in the bag, for sure don't be sticking spent gum on anything.
