This is just too funny! Is it just someone's job to sit around and think of stupid laws like these? :lol: http://www.kids-teens.org/dumb_laws.htm |

The New Jersey law about not pumping your own gas is true--attendants do it. Been there. Also, its real funny to see cars from NJ up here in gas stations because they have one heck of a time trying to figure out how to work a gas pump. :lol: Now onto my home state:
1.) Well even though its not intentional, I guess we declare baseball illegal. 2.) If you survive in the first place. People do jump off bridges here... 3.) Who would? ![]() 4.) Yeah, we don't talk to people in elevators. ![]() 5.) Guilty.6.) WTF? There's a time when all three of those happen simultaneously? 7.) Yes, that's a real law, and guess what...people smoke right outside the entrance. The law pretty much bans smoking in any public building. 8.) Well then come arrest all the people on the north side who use sprinkler systems. |

I have some more to offer. For all I know in California a widow is not allowed to parachute on Sundays. In Minnesota a woman can be punished with up to 30 days in prision for wearing a Santa Claus costume (I wonder if such a judgement was ever carried out). You mustn't cross the border of the state of Minnessota with a duck on your head. According to a 17th century law celebrating Christmas is illegal in Massachusetts. And according to another Alaska Moose law people are obliged to intervene if they see two Mooses mating in public and prevent them from doing so (yeah right, if I see a 2.50 meter tall ruting Moos I'm going to kick it from the back of his mate in order to obey the law :lol) |

Here are a few Canadian ones:
I'm sure a few of these don't apply anymore, but there are certainly some strange laws in our lawbooks. B) |

ALso, there is some place in Texas where it is against the law to spraypaint yellow and purple pokadots on a cow! :lol: You know why they have these laws? Because someone apparently tried it one time and something happened. I wish that thing would tell us why those laws were made. I want to know the story behind them. |

I once printed out about 7 pages filled with nothing but ridiculous laws, and the teacher spent a good half hour reading most of them to the class. Possibly my favorite one was the Chicago, Illinois law that you can't eat in a place that's on fire. XD And there's another funny law, can't remember which state, that you can't beat your wife with a belt wider than 2 inches UNLESS she gives you permission to use a wider belt. XD |

Some of my favorites were: You can't fart in public after 6 pm. :lol: You can't keep a horse in a bathtub :lol: you can't drop a live moose out of an airplane :lol: the punishment for jumping off a skyscraper is death :lol: :lol: you can drive the wrong way on a one way street if there is a lantern on the front of your car. :lol: :lol: I also saw something about dumb things said in court. These were actually said in a real court case. One was something like: Lawyer: How do you know that the man was already dead when you performed the autopsy? doctor: Because his brain was in a jar on my desk. Lawyer: But could it be possible that he was still alive without his brain? Doctor: Well, I suppose so. He might just be practicing law right now! :lol: :lol:

Oi, now those are some strange laws, but the strangest of all laws is found in the U.S. of A. I can have sex, father a child, go to war, and vote by age 18, but I couldn't drink or smoke until I turned 21? That one's always managed to boggle my mind.

I always thought that was stupid. It use to be that you could go die in a war for your country but you couldn't vote. Talk about stupid. |

Ok, Just a wiered thing, look up the Hittite legal codes. Some of those are really...really weird. Just a couple of examples... 1) If a man rapes a woman in the mountains, it is the man's fault, and he shall be put to death. If he rapes her in the home, however, it is the woman's fault, and she will be put to death. If the woman's husband walks in on them, he can kill them both with no penalty. 2) If a bull jumps a man for intercourse, the bull will be put to death, and the man given a fee equal to the value of the bull. |

more dumb and stupid laws of california No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. Women may not drive in a house coat. It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale. Arcadia Peacocks have the right of way to cross any street, including driveways. Alhambra You cannot leave your car on the street overnight without the proper permit. Baldwin Park Nobody is allowed to ride a bicycle in a swimming pool. Belvedere City Council order reads: “No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash.” Blythe You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows. Burlingame It is illegal to spit, except on baseball diamonds. |
