Stupid Laws

[linkin48603]

Any stupid laws out there. If you know any drop them off here.

[evulish]

Yeah. That whole 'speed limit' thing

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!)

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

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 ).
