Pics or it didn't happen. - neoform, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11- In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.
How in the ***** to you keep a 6 foot long weapon concealed on your person?? - mstachiw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10In Iowa, USA, it is illegal for horses to eat fire hydrants. What could have happened to lead to this legislation?

------ - noisymime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Sorry but I live in Victoria, Australia and I call ***** on the very first item in the list. I know for a FACT that it is not true.

- Ihavethespeed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5you must be short.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5It's weirder that you're allowed to get your fish drunk anywhere else though. Why do most of these countries on the list have laws that apply to the entire population whereas America has laws that are only applicable to individual cities?
- gutterboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5- In Kentucky, USA, it is illegal to carry and ice cream cone in your pocket.

- darkfate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4"In the UK, all men over the age of 14 must carry out two hours of longbow practice a day. "
I have a friend over there that's cross-eyed. That must make it REAL difficult! - najdorf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Bah, this article does not cite any references or sources, 90% of those could be ***** (and probably are).
- snypa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Most the laws on the list are. Either they're centuries old, not enforced whatsoever or the writer as heavily distorted actual laws.
- pmagayon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8- In Victoria Australia it is forbidden to wear pink hot pants after mid-day on a Sunday.
It should be forbidden to wear pink hot pants any day of the year.
- In Logan County, Colorado, USA, it is still illegal to kiss a woman while she is asleep.
At least you're still able to grope her.
- In Miami, Florida, USA, it is still illegal for anyone to imitate an animal.
Not for Ace Ventura!!!!
- In Kentucky, USA, it is illegal to carry and ice cream cone in your pocket.
"Is that an ice cream cone, or are you happy to see me?"

Talk about boring sex.
- In Indonesia the punishment for masturbation is execution by decapitation.
Oww. They aren't jerkin around.
- In Florida it is illegal to have sex with a porcupine.
Only in Florida...
- In ancient Sparta men were required by law to eat at least two pounds of meat every day. This was supposed to make them brave.
And that wasn't the only type of meat that they ate. Heh. Ok I'm done. - DoobieWheel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's a prejudiced law against black men
- zzz@tkz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Didn't say that they have to be good.
- Splizxer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Indiana Jones can do it.
- frostmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6i dont know why people are digging you down...that was funny
- Raptor007, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Because America was built on a strong foundation of retaining local leadership and lawmaking instead of all federal. Letting states retain strong control over themselves was the only way to get them to join the Union in the first place.
- bpmdub, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I say we send Paris Hilton to San Salvador
- jordo3284, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I want to know what happend to make some of these laws necessary
- BigBrother87, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2According to Weeds, it is legal to possess less than an ounce in CA, but you can't sell it. And I believe everything I see on TV. Those poor people on Gilligan's Island.
- sk8ordiemofo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"In St. Louis, Missouri, USA, it is still illegal for firemen to rescue women who are still in their nightdresses."
Woman: Help me, I'm burning!!
Fireman: You know I would but....thats a nightdress right? Sorry, no can do. - Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2In most cases, it's a side-effect of having a legal system which is based on the English Common Law system, where any judiciary decision not made on the basis of constitutional or statute law becomes a precedent, and therefore sets the legal standard for future decisions on the same problem.
By the descriptions of some of these laws, it's quite easy to imagine the situation where a judge has no codified law to fall back on, and has to render verdict based on his own common-sense judgement of the situation. Once it has been handed down, the Common Law system now effectively turns that verdict into a law, against which other cases will be judged.
So, the thing that "made these laws necessary" was that someone did something silly or stupid which put him in front of a judge or magistrate, at which point any decision, regardless of outcome, created a new law to deal with that particular situation. - mcduarte2000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"The very first country to abolish capital punishment was Austria in 1787"
What is strange about this? The strange thing is actually the opposite, as in most countries capital punishment is forbidden or not practiced. - SiRwhilms, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Just when I think I've gotten rid of this email-chain BS, it shows up on Digg. The internet is haunted with ghosts of FWDs past.
- Unremarkable, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2You sure? Just because its not enforced doesn't mean it isn't true.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i didn't. shocking
- krammit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It's actually both.
- accessviolation, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4You forgot the /sarcasm tag!
- p51d007, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2When I was in high school in the 70's, there was a law in my small town (less than 4,000 population) which said that
during the week of the county fair, you "must walk your vehicle across the railroad tracks", which means you have to get out and guide your horse drawn wagon/buggy, across the tracks. A bunch of buddies of mine hitched up a rope to his pickup truck, and when we drove through town, we'd stop at the tracks and put the truck in neutral and pull it over the tracks. We did that 3-4 times before the police caught up to us and asked us what we were doing. We flat out
told him we are OBEYING the law. he told us to stop doing this as it was slowing down traffic. The city council did some research and found the ordinance and had it rescinded.
- crushfan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"In Turkey, during the 16th and 17th centuries, it was illegal to drink coffee and anyone caught doing so was sentenced to death."
Nowadays, authorities who let so ***** many Starbucks spread all over the corners should be sentenced to death. - leebo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Don't you mean Lindsay Lohan?
