    South Carolina has some fun ones:

    Horses are to wear pants at all times.
    Eating watermelons in the Magnolia Street cemetery is forbidden.
    Horses may not be kept in bathtubs.
    It is considered an offense to get a tattoo.
    No work may be done on Sunday.
    An exception to the above law is that light bulbs may be sold.

    And then there's this one:
    It is illegal to give or receive oral sex in South Carolina.

    Originality is good, kids.

    These are some weird ones from my home state, Florida;
    It is illegal for an unmarried woman to parachute on Sundays.
    Also having sex with a porcupine is illegal. (I've never seen porcupines in the wild here..)
    It is illegal to have cottage cheese on Sunday after 6 pm.

    We're a bunch of freaks down here...

    "The State of Texas is prohibited from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."

    *cough*

    For my state of Vermont:

    -- Women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

    -- Whistling underwater is illegal.

    -- At one time it was illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole.

    In Georgia it is illegal to purchase alcohol from stores on Sunday, yet you can drink it in commercial restaurants.

    I don't know if any of these are specifically true or not, but apparently they were placed over a hundred years ago and have never been changed, so technically are still in place...

    London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats.

    It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

    During his reign, Oliver Cromwell banned the eating of mince pies on Christmas day, as they were insufficiently Puritan.

    Jesuits, Seminary Priests and other suchlike disobedient Persons must be banished.

    In Switzerland it's illegal for males to stand up when doing the toilet after 10.00 pm ... Or back in Nazi Germany it was illegal to call a horse Adolf.

    Most of the dumb laws as far as I know were put in place long ago and never changed, nor from what I know are they inforced.

    One that I always found funny(though unsure if it is actually on the books) was in Indiana(I believe) it is considered statuatory rape if a male over the age of consent has a female passenger under the age of consent in his car without her shoes or socks on. Or something to that effect.

    For some funny ones you can look at www.dumblaws.com.... Don't know how valid they are, but they make for a good laugh at least.


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
