    Alright I am bored and stupid laws are well.....stupid..and interesting at the same time. So google around and find stupid laws worthy of posting. I'll start off with a few. :) God they'll just pass anything as a law won't they? Some of these may have been laws at one time but now they're just forgotten things that people look back on and say "Why the heck did we pass that again?" By the way some of these laws are not for the whole state just for certain areas.

    Yeah we could do that. We could do laws about other countries. :) Alright guys here's the deal now Stupid Laws....For any place in the world. It's got to be stupid though. Some countries will like kill people for masterbating because it's against their religion so try to find ones that actually don't fit at all. Here are some I've found:

    UK (some of these do not apply in Scotland or others in Wales):

    It is illegal for taxi drivers to carry rabid dogs or corpses.

    Lol. ^_^ Yeah pretty interesting stuff. We should make up our own stupid laws. Like in ohio you can not chew blue gum on a sunday in rainy wheather. The penalty is a fine of 5 dollars but you may keep the gum in your mouth after it is paid and if you choose to keep it and another authority figure attempts to fine you, you must do the chicken dance as a secret hand shake to show him that you've already been fined. Yes yes that would work. ^_^

    Ha. yeah. i think that basically these laws are true they're just forgotten about. they're basically laws for certain cities and stuff the people vote on for some stupid reason and sense most of the laws are basically harmless they're passed and then never used. that or maybe some of them actually had a purpose at one time and was just forgotten about.

    The U. S. Government will not allow portraits of living persons to appear on stamps.

    Wonder why.

  • Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden
    17 years ago

    I don't think they're paying any attention to that law anymore. People can do custom stamps all over and I bet a bunch of people do it of living people, including themselves! Hmmm...I'll have to look into this. :p
