In Chester, its legal to shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside city walls after midnight

I'm picking you as an example, don't be offended, you were just convenient.

I would stake a lot of money that over half these laws are bullshit. They're just the kind of false trivia that the internet breeds so very well (e.g You Swall 8 Spiders In Your Life)
The fact that this is the third variation of this "law" in a page and a half furthur supports this.

Some of these laws are probably merely precedents set in court. The elephant one probably came from an actual case (if indeed it ever happened) and the judge ruled that as the elephant was obstructing the bay it needed to pay as acar would.

There are a great deal of archaic laws around (Used to be complusory in Britain to practice with your longbow every sunday) but just because nobody has got round to removing the laws doesn't mean they still stand. And, as I recall, a few years ago there was some legislature passed that pretty much ignores any ancient stupid laws.

First off use spell check, it helps. Secondly, everyone was ignoring you so I felt bad. Thirdly, if you're going to call BS, post a link to prove it.

But hey, if you're into 300 pound ladies and 70 year old men, be my guest!

I think I know where Heaven is now.

Iceland:
It's illegal to feed your horse in the capital.
It's also illegal for women to wear pants while walking down the main shopping street.
And finally it's legal to kill Turks here.

Hmm, I dunno. I have lots of greasy dago blood flowing through my veins, so I guess orange skin and premature facial wrinkles are supposed to be a turn on.

I'm...I'm not sure what a "dago" is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with Italian people.

Also, it's more like dark, dark brown.
On the white girls.
At least, as far as I've seen - I avoid the beaches everywhere for obvious reasons.

Just checked wikipedia and apparently this is real - in the UK it is illegal to release a grey squirrel into the wild. 'Instead they should be humanely destroyed'.

'Cause nothing says "humane" like using the word "destroyed."

Alas, A hero with a bad reputation given to him by those seeking absolute power!

Teehee, this is fun.

Fun is illegal in six states.
One of them is yours.

I won't tell if you won't.

Scratch that, I wouldn't trust you with a goldfish.

In New York, it is illegal to plow a field with an elephant. I'm sure you know the story behind that, right?

Aha, yeah. That'll be 'cause they've been killing all the red squirrels, which are now endangered.

UK:
In Lancashire, no person is permitted after being asked to stop by a constable on the seashore to incite a dog to bark.

Crap, that's where I'm from. I've incited many a dog to bark in my time, too. Ooops. Apparently, in the UK, it's illegal to hang a bed from a window, too. Cripes, I'm surprised the police haven't jumped on me yet.

Well, this thread gave me a good laugh if nothing else.

California's legislature was so worried about terrorists they banned .50 caliber rifles despite the fact they start at $3000.

In France, it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon.

What about naming it "Snowball?"

I applaud you, good sir.

As do I.

Four legs bad! Two legs good! Four legs bad! Three legs weird!

I think I know where Heaven is now.

Well, the old people seem to think this is God's waiting room....

It is, in fact, quite the opposite.

I won't tell if you won't.

Scratch that, I wouldn't trust you with a goldfish.

Good call.
Say "Hello!" to the FBI for me.

They can say hello to the bomb I rigged to explode when they bust the front door open. Meanwhile, I'll be starting a new life in Russia.

Yes Max, we get it, you don't like your country (or maybe you do, I'm not sure) or anything even remotely sexual and your standards of beauty differ from the norm.

...Florida is not a country.
And I said from a normal standpoint.

"Even looking at it from a normal standpoint,"

But hey, if you're into 300 pound ladies and 70 year old men, be my guest!

You're a 300 pound lady or a 70 year old man? I respect you 3 times more now.

Somewhere in the US, it's legal to beat your wife on the courthouse steps as long as it's on a Sunday.

That's here in South Carolina.

in Chicago it is illegal to eat in a burning building, and it is also illegal to tie your giraffe to a light post.

but,where else will I enjoy delicious quesadilias.

Well how the hell else am I supposed to get really hot Mexican food?

FUCK ninja'd

 

[Jamous]

I think I heard it was illegal to tie your alligator to a lam post or railing in Alabama or somewhere.

In France it is compulsory for all cars to carry a high visibility jacket and warning triangle, both of which must be used in the event of an accident. The jacket has to be worn by the driver when they exit the car while the triangle has to be placed at least 30 metres from the vehicle.
Failure to do so results in a fine of ?90

Cyclists are required to wear high visibility jackets when outside towns

Both laws were passed in 2008.

Wow, those sure are some wacky laws you got there. *rolls eyes*

i fail to see how either one of those are whacky laws, they are actually for SAFETY of people

it's not like the one i mentioned in Toronto where it's illegal to drag a dead horse down the road on a Sunday
