Apparently in Washington it is illegal to molest one's fishing gear. I don't want to know why that law was necessary...
In France its illegal to name your pig Napoleon.
In Australia its illegal to dress up like Batman.
In York you can shoot a Scotsman with a crossbow provided he is carrying a bow and arrow (meaning im never going back there).

That would be Chester, it is legal to shoot a Welshman inside the city walls after midnight.The Bread is Delicious said:
I can't remember the state, but in the US, it is illegal to jump out of an airplane.
My favourite law, on the other hand, would be from El Salvidor, regarding drunk driving. First offense is your last- death by firing squad.
Laws are usually made to improve the discipline among the members of the society. I found some laws in my area that are totally dumb are there is no useful reason behind those laws. Some of those laws are.
1. Dogs may not bark after 6pm.
2. No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
3. It is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset.
4. It is considered an offense to shower naked.
You can also find some more laws from here.

I think the government of your area is very concious about to make the people disciplined.. Its good thing..nikki191 said:where i live its a. illegal to let water run from your property onto a public road. b. illegal to beat a rug on your washing line after 5 pm. and c. illegal to drive a motorvehicle without someone walking 100 yeards ahead warning people a car is comming apparently so it doesnt scare horses.
got to love the old laws
I'd suppose that, if those quoting it were correct, it is simply an old bylaw that is still present on the books because nobody's gotten around to removing it. Technically legal in and off itself, but not when you take into account other laws...like murder.criston said:
Of course as an Englishman I'm geneticly required to support the theoretical shooting of the french?
In Dubai (the city I currently live in), there's a law that prohibits certain goods and services from passing into this city if it violates their moral and religious values. Because of this vague blanket statement, a number of sites, games, movies, and games have been banned, but the ban is rarely ever enforced. Virgin Megastore will refuse to stock a certain game, but the corner shop right next to it has a copy of that game that you can purchase, and they rarely bat an eye.
Because of this law though, they changed Puss in Boots to Cat in Boots because of "sexual connotations". Like anyone couldn't look at the fucking poster and go "Oh, a pussycat. Oh, they must mean Puss in Boots, the fairy tale."

I guess they managed to lure them all into passing that law hook, line, and sinker!somerandomguy76 said:
