    Seven or more indians are considered a raiding or war party and it is legal to shoot them.

    Isn't this stupid!

    Well, from the link, I like the first one:
    Sheep - chaperone. Girl - no chaperone? So sheep are at greater risk than girls? :lol:

    Check this one from Alberta

    If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town.

    It would suck so badly to live in Uxbridge, Ontario. Residents are not allowed to have an Internet connection faster than 56k!

    What do they watch then? What about RPG games? :shake: :grin: :lol:

    New York state:

    What for me then? A fullplate horse barding? :shake: :lol: :grin:

    New York city:

    Where's the logic? Let her better flash them than tight-wrap them? :rolleyes:

    England:

    Guess the monarch's spouse has to wear socks when performing marital duties. Or do they go to Scotland?

    Err remind me never to go to York except on Sundays,

    York:
    Excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.

    Oh and us scots have some wierd laws

    You may not fish on Sundays for salmon.

    It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow.

    Trespassing on someone else's land is legal.

    If someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your commode, you must let them enter.

    Ok ok, heres some laws that are just sooooo stupid they deserve to be posted

    In Alabama
    It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.

    It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile.

    Boogers may not be flicked into the wind. :eek:

    Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death. (thats my personal favourite :grin:

    In Alaska
    Moose may not be viewed from an airplane.

    It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.

    In Arizona
    There is a possible 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus.

    When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses.

    It is unlawful to refuse a person a glass of water.

    In Glendale(Arizona)
    Cars may not be driven in reverse.

    In Mohave county(Arizona)
    A decree declares that anyone caught stealing soap must wash himself with it until it is all used up.

    In Tombstone(Arizona)
    It is illegal for men and women over the age of 18 to have less than one missing tooth visible when smiling.

    i think thats enough for just now, will be more after someone posts a reply ;)

    Seven indians considered a war party and it is legal to shoot them? Isn't that a US law from the last century?
