“Winston’s Hiccup”
An old joke about the land mass of the country is often attributed to the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill. The joke goes that when he drew up the boundaries between Saudi Arabia and Jordan, he let out a hiccup from all the brandy he had been drinking. Allegedly, this then caused his hand to slip and allot several thousand miles to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!

The practice of witchcraft is banned in Saudi Arabia. However, the law actually extends to any form of scripture about it as well. Harry Potter fans might want to leave their collection at home if they plan on visiting the country!
