Apparently, in Wisconsin (or maybe it's just in Appleton) if you are jailed for any reason ... when you get out, you are entitled to a piece of gold and a horse. I guess it was some old law that just faded away, and is still in place today! (Though lately, I haven't seen anyone riding a horse holding a piece of gold!) :D

Then there's the whole women being able to run (minus any garments) in Maine ... :rolleyes:

Stupid as in politically stupid, or stupid as in stupid and funny?

You can always search google. I just found this site with some information on stupid laws.

And here in VA, it is illegal to do a certain activity until you are married (I'm sure it's inforced :rolleyes: ).
