I know my city, Calgary, has an unusual law, well legality. Any woman is now allowed to walk around outside nude from the waist up if they like. I think its kinda stupid since no woman would do that, but whatever. So what can you guys find?

I wasn't aware we had that law. I guess you do learn something every day.

OT: Well, you stole mine I suppose.

In my city, Winnipeg, we're not allowed to goad alligators. The only thing is that alligators aren't native to Manitoba. The only place I've seen one is in the zoo.

Winnipeg Manitoba, a few by-laws about games:

1: you may only trade in games for games, consoles for consoles, etc.
2: you may only trade one game for one game got a bunch of games and you want to only buy one? too bad*
3: no store credit, you can only get something on day of trade.

that may not be too unusual, but it really really pisses me off.

[small]*-unless you go to an independent retailer that is :D[/small]

Well... when I get married my hair will legally belong to my husband, I can own a handgun because I'm over 12 and someone robbing my home could file a lawsuit if he got hurt in my home. Yay, Michigan!

None from mine I can think of, but here is a great one from California, where some of my family lives.

In Chico City, California, any person found detonating a nuclear bomb within city limits will receive a $500 fine.

I live in Chula Vista, California in San Diego County, and only two laws that are strange come to mind. 1)It is illegal to shoot jack rabbits from the back of a street car. 2) If you have Christmas lights up past February 2 you can be fined $250. Also, in California you actually can't shoot any game in a moving vehicle unless the target is a whale. And now I know why Neonbob lives in California.

It's illegal to pump your own gasoline in New Jersey, I believe Oregon is the only other state with such a law. I don't even know how to.

Actually, I do believe he lives in South North Carolina.

Anyways, in California you need a permit to keep a pet rhinoceros.

We are both wrong, he lives in North Carolina. Still, Neonbob should move here. He can begin his extermination of whales here. Oh and don't forget that we can buy a ferret in California because they aren't considered domestic animals.

I live in Vermont, there's about three cops in the entire state, no one really knows any laws here.

The only one I can think of is that it is legal to shoot a dog if it is chasing a deer.

I live in Texas... Where Sodomy laws are still in place. It's not really 'unusual' considering it's Texas, but... Still, it's an arbitrary and silly law.

Just like it being illegal to shoot someone in the back.

Massachusetts here, with a few gems:

-At a wake, mourners may consume no more than three sandwiches.

-Those who wish to grow a goatee must pay a special tax for the honor of wearing one in public.

-It is illegal for taxi drivers to have sex in the front seats of their cabs.

In Norway, it is illegal to sell alcohol on election day.
(For shops, this also applies to Sundays, Saturdays after 6 PM, weekdays after 8PM as well as holidays like Good Friday, Christmas Day etc.)

In Indiana anyone 14 or older who profanely curses, damns or swears by the name of God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, shall be fined one to three dollars for each offense, with a maximum fine of ten dollars per day.

In Florida if an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

Here in South Carolina you can't play pinball before 18, have oral sex, and you can beat your wife on the court steps on Sunday.

Gay people cant get married.
Politcal point aside, Im in New York, which is probably the second gayest state in the US and would think we would have been one of the first to have it legal.
