This came in via one of my favourite Twitter channels:
A man in Detmold, Germany, has been fined for insulting his wife, saying she “lies like Churchill”. “The court agreed this went too far.” — RealTimeWWII (@RealTimeWWII)
I could not stop laughing for a minute or two.

I am an anthropologist and in this capacity a minor scholar of the Cthulhu Mythos and H.P. Lovecraft. I am also quite obviously heavily into Steampunk and Dieselpunk and like travelling.
That certainly is a bizarre and funny story/piece of propaganda! Did you ever see this article about something a bit similar and just as funny?

Hello again,
This is one great story. Thabks for sharing. I know a few annecdotes from my grandparents and their friends but nothing with actual documentation.
