The World's Strangest Laws: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article2251280.ece
This is the one I remember hearing:
"In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants ? even, if she so requests, in a policeman?s helmet."
Others include:
14. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation (Oh snap)
10. In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.
9. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.
3. In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.
Id call that one the people of Arkansas having too much home pride.darkstone said:
No assumptions.
Well considering the plague no longer exists I don't think it matters either way.Frank_Sinatra_ said:
I used to run a liquor store in Indiana. Some of the Beverage laws I had to follow were:
It is illegal to sell milk (no idea why)
It is illegal to sell cold soft drinks (warm is just fine)
If alcohol is in a car, the driver must be 21 or over.
anything bought in the store must be bought by someone who is 21 or over

2. "As it is considered pornographic, you may not walk around your home nude."

Well I live in Lawrence and I have to say I've already broken some of those laws.4thegreatergood said:
But How about in Emporia, Kansas

I can think of good reasons for all of them.
The view of the sky one... HMMM, wonder if there ever was a time when people in Germany needed to view the skies for imminent threats. It also probably starts with a B and ends with omber planes.
Pillows can be used to kill people. Ever heard of smothering someone with one?
Okay, I lied, I can't think of one off the top of my head fr the mask one, but I'm sure twenty minutes of bored Googling will tell you why.
And cars running out of gas on a no-speed limit zone?
I WONDER.
I guess the German government is just a little overhyped about security threats.
All of these are from Utah.
