I nearly died after seeing this article after laughing so hard and they list quite a few of them but I pick my favorite ones.

QUOTE
- In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.
That one really got me going, but odds are that there is a counter law about that kind of exposure unless they do it in private somewhere. Either way I would dare someone to take that law seriously and turns a cop's hat into a potty laugh.gif.

QUOTE

In Victoria Australia, only a licensed electrician is allowed to change a lightbulb.


Just stupid but as a law biding citizen I will make sure people are not doing it laugh.gif, although talk about making serious money in changing light bulbs though laugh.gif.

QUOTE

In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.
After all these years the Irish, English and the Scottish still hate each other, thus the reason this rule is still in effect laugh.gif.

QUOTE

In Texas, USA, criminals are still required to give their victims at least 24 hours oral or written notice giving details of the crime they are about to commit.


Only a stupid criminal would do that and think they wouldn't get busted afterwords for it.

QUOTE

In Iowa, USA, it is against the law to kiss for more than five minutes.
That means most of Iowa could go to jail for that one.

QUOTE

In Tremonton, Utah, USA, it is still an offense for a woman to have sexual intercourse with a man in an ambulance. She can be charged with a misdemeanor and have her name printed in the local paper.


Now is that because they are on duty or the fact this can't be done while rushing someone to a hospital, a bit confuse laugh.gif

QUOTE

In Chico, California, USA, the law says that anybody who detonates a nuclear device within the city limits is liable to a fine of $500.
That means I can get away with murder, terrorism, billions in destruction, thanks laugh.gif

QUOTE

In Florida it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine.


Why would you want to unless you live in Washington and a guy can get freaky with anything under 40 pounds (animal wise).

QUOTE

In Burma it is illegal to get internet access. If a person is found in possession of a modem he can be imprisoned.
I hope the government is following that rule.

QUOTE

In Alberta a released convict is entitled to a gun and a horse to ride out of town on.


I think haslip said he was in jail for a while laugh.gif.

Okay, now this was amusing! XD

The most funny is the Texas law, although completely expected of a place like Texas, that was just completely hilarious! Would they spare the criminal if he/she did abide the that law? How, pointless is that? It's funny that people can even come up with stuff like this but then I forget. They're just Human. tongue.gif

And then on the Iowa one, how does it make any difference at all? The funniest thing would be, "You can't have sex for more than 7 minutes." Again, sheer pointlessness.

There is also a law that states you must carry a license to wear a mask in California. ( Halloween is allowed though. )

If anyone knows more, please, tell us. They are very entertaining. smile.gif
