I think there was a similar thread, but here it goes :p

(NOTE: It's me translating from Serbian, heil me!)

1. Hong Kong has a law where woman is allowed to kill her husband if she catches him cheating on her - but only using her bare hands, using any kind of weapons is strictly forbidden. And as considering husband's mistress, she can kill her any way she wants. Means, she can chose anything from baseball bat, knife, shotgun, to razor, slow death, etc...
2. Minnesota has a law that strictly forbids people having sex with birds.
3. Few Muslim countries have a law where man can have sex with the sheep, BUT he is not allowed to eat that very sheep. That is considered as death sin.
4. In Lebanon, sex with animals is officially allowed. However, there is one limit: Animal has to be female. For having sex with male animals, you may get the death penalty.
5. In Arizona, you are not allowed to possess more than two dildos or vibrators.
6. In few Colombian cities, women can only legally sleep with their husbands. The law also says the mother of the bride must be present the first wedding night, so she can witness her first sexual experience.
7. In Bahrain male gynecologist can only watch the private parts of his patient in the mirror.
8. The most exotic job exists on Guam, a Pacific island that belongs to USA: Since female virgins aren't allowed to get married, there are professional deflorators that take girls' virginity; of course with the fee.
9. In some parts of Colorado, it is forbidden to kiss the sleeping woman.
10. In Hartford, in Connecticut, husband may not kiss his woman on Sundays.








Please correct my spelling and grammar errors.

Alright. Some from my home state. North Carolina.

-The mere possession of a lottery ticket is illegal in North Carolina and may result in a $2,000 fine. ( This is now changed and NC has its own Educational Lottery.)

-No one may be a professional fortune-teller, and if one wishes to pursue the practice as an amateur, it must be practiced in a school or church.

-It’s against the law to sing off key. ( I have seen 3 people actually arrested for this one. )

-Elephants may not be used to plow cotton fields. ( Someone was arrested for this 10 years ago )


-While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled.


-If a man and a woman who aren’t married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married.


-All couples staying overnight in a hotel must have a room with double beds that are at least two feet apart. ( Which is in all states, thus why if you get a room the beds are always so far apart )


-It is illegal to have sex in a churchyard. ( sorry.... )


-Oral sex is considered a crime against nature. ( ****.... )


-A marriage can be declared void if either of the two persons is physically impotent.



-Persons in possession of illegal substances must pay taxes on them.



-A three dollar tax must be paid on all white goods sold. ( lol.... )



-Organizations may not hold their meetings while the members present are in costume.




-Bingo games may not last over 5 hours unless it is held at a fair.




-Serving alcohol at a bingo game is not allowed. ( "O4" "F#@$ YOU!" )




-Fights between cats and dogs are prohibited.



-It is a misdemeanor to urinate or defecate publicly.




-Women must have their bodies covered by at least 16 yards of cloth at all times. ( Now gone due to the nude purade )




-It is illegal to drive cars through city cemeteries for pleasure. ( This one kills me. Get it? D: )



-No one may visit their departed loved ones late at night.




-Cars may not be driven on sidewalks.



-You may not ride a bicycle without having both your hands on the handle bars. ( The song becomes null/void now. )

I've said it before, I'll say it again: The U.S. needs another branch of government whose sole duty is to go through laws disbanding them. We have so much bull**** on the books

What. The. ****.

Are these laws REALLY still in effect? This sounds just too absurd to be true.

How are those awkward/awesome? The first one is a matter of keeping things sanitary, the second one seems pretty self-explanatory, and the last one is common just about everywhere there are motorized vehicles o_O

Damn those pedestrians for clogging up the walkways which are intended for their use!

I call bull**** on the missionary position only on Florida. Might as well arrest half the state.

And it sucks that I can not be a governor in my own state now :/

I'm 99% sure that not being allowed to drive on a sidewalk is not a law here in the Netherlands. It's pretty much common sense not to do it, we don't need a specific law for it. But as far as I know, pretty much any 'stupid' thing that is done in America, gets it's own law. I've even heard a story about some American woman who had a wet cat. So she thought "I know, why not put her in the microwave? That will definitly dry her!" So she did, and her cat exploded. Baffeled by this, she sued the company that made the microwave and won, because the manual never said you couldn't put pets in the microwave.

Many states that are on the more religious side have laws against certain ways in which a man and woman can express their love. A lot of it depends on how broad the state's definition of sodomy is.
