Interesting...Which ones have been repealed over the last 5 years? You don't have to take your time finding out if you don't remember; it's okay

i think it was just the florida one.

Most of the wierd laws we see today are laws from many many blue moons ago that were never repealed.

In Illinois you can not go on a public bus within an hour of eating garlic. I have a book with a lot of wierd laws in it.

And WHERE would you hide it? I can imagine some disturbing incident that scarred someone for lifeI can't find a reference of this on the web at all...most likely is just beause of the wording, I mean there are supposed laws that say you can't throw peanuts on the ground, but usually those are just parts of anti littering laws. It's most likely a no nudity lawAnd I'm sure that this happened once and an officer took someone in and there was a court case and...
I'm sure this really disappoints you Chuck,You might really wanted to see naked women. I bet this is part of a law saying, "No seeing naked people or representations of them
If youre applying for a US passport you have to check a box saying you are a terrorist if you are one (this is from personal experience). It's because if they are a terrorist, than you can say they broke another law and arrest them if they have criminal intent.

There ar tons more, just search google for "crazy laws"...

I remember there was one thing about lollipops being banned in washington, if you do a search it turns out to be "nicotine lollipops" which were supposed to help smokers quit...

most of these are unenforced anyways...

Oh... and I just found a website that supposedly says if laws are enforced

I want to research this... but I have no time...

that doesn't take away from the fact that they are really wierd though.

my favorite is that in hawaii it is illegal to play on the yellow line in the middle of the road if you are under 12 years old.

One laws states that you can't eat another person's burger or take a bite.

That is pretty funny. I think it is Oklahoma

poor MLE would be a jailbird... and think, it was only an accident when she took a bite of my burger (and wondered why her cheeseburger tasted funny).

In China,one child per family.
In Japan,you can only eat Japanese rice.
In Iceland,only dogs for blind people are pet dogs.
In Malaysia,men can't wear ties.
In London,you can't kiss in movie theaters.

They have a law in Idaho which says you can't walk backwards eating peanuts with a donkey.

some of these aren't odd at all, and have very good reasons.



due to overpopulation


some people think that this makes the movie less enjoyable for others.

also, in texass, there is a law that breaking the law is against the law.

Here's a good website: http://www.crazylaws.com/

I love the one: "Dogs may not Bark after 6 P.M.

you read all of those?!

in some state pets cant mate without a permit...

• It is illegal to wear a snake in public in Fredericton, New Brunswick, or to carry your pet lizard on your shoulder
• You couldn't build a snowman on a corner lot in Souris, P.E.I., higher than 76 centimetres
• You may not legally for a 26-cent item with 26 pennies, anywhere in Canada. The limit is 25 cents.

Reminds me of that one Red Hook ESB commercial where that guy pays everything with tens of thousands of pennies. Couldn't happen in Canada.

I like the one that says "You are not aloud to walk across the streets on your hands"

lol why would you do that!

I do it all the time!

Is that a joke or something?

I guess so. A lot of those are funny.

It is illegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine.
It is illegal to keep a donkey in a bathtub.

lol there hilarious!

What? Who would even do that?

you would

In Liverpool, England, female shop assistants can be topless, but only in tropical fish shops.

In 18th century England, committing suicide was punishable by death. Ooh, the irony.

Correction: Attempting suicide was punishable by death. But still, the same thing applies: if you try, you were guranteed to get it.

lol In England it is illegal for boys under 12 to see a naked manigan(or how ever you spell it lol)

someones lying!

oops my mistake. A lot of those laws are so pointless, but that's what makes them funny.

They are hilarious!

As are these...

In Texas

• The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.
• A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
• It is illegal to milk another person's cow.
• In Houston, it is illegal to sell Limburger cheese on Sunday.
• In LeFors, it is illegal to take more than three swallows of beer while standing.
• In Mesquite, it is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts

define "unusual"

Oh, sorry. I meant to say attempting.

These two actually have very obvious and logical reasonings behind them (population control and balancing the economy, respectively).
