In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blind folded while operating a vehicle.
In California it is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
Florida:
If an elephant is tied to a parking meter, the parking fine must be paid.
Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.
Kansas: Prohibits shooting rabbits from a motorboat.
In Texas it is illegal to drive a vehicle without windshield wipers. You don't have to have a windshield but you must have the wipers.
In Nebraska it is illegal for bar owners to sell beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.
The penalty for jumping of a building in New York is death.
In Ohio it is illegal to get a fish drunk.
I'll try and find some British ones later.
Anyone know any more?

In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blind folded while operating a vehicle. But the Govenor could direct police to beat civil rights protestors. That's great. Unless you're a whale. Never miss a source of revenue. And quite actually not all that pleasant. ;D I can see wher this could be a problem for the avid water-skiing bunnies. Can you actually call them 'wipers' tho' in that case? Flippers maybe. By order of the honorable Judge Campbell. Arrest warrants are difficult to serve to the plaintiffs though. But is it OK to have sex with it, or is that just porcupine's?  I'm glad you revived these. We had done some of these before. |

I was actually searching for something else but came across these by accident.
In England it is (currently) illegal to watch a colour T.V without a licence. Unless your tv has been adjusted so as not to pick up any station transmitted by the BBC. That used to be the rumour, I'm not sure about it now. The BBC uses the licence fee to pay for it's services to the public. Other stations are funded solely by commercials and/or subscriptions.
It is illegal for public houses to play music without a licence if the general public are present.

It is illegal to bring chicken into Wisconsin. I live not too far from the border of Wisconsin, so if I brought KFC for dinner to a friend an hour drive from me over the border...but I'm too pretty to go to jail! I'd get raped!   (that was not a personal opinion but a Young Ones reference...) |

A recent ruling in the UK makes it illegal to use a mobile phone while driving.
OK so that's not really odd but I don't think we have any strange laws to speak of.
Still looking though.

What about the laws we should have but don't?
Do you realise that in the UK, it's still not obligatory to own the 7 Kate Bush CDs?
Inexplicable..

I heard on the radio that in some country, they just made it illegal to have a beard, and also hair that's longer than a certain length (ie. pretty short). Apparently it's to improve cleanliness. Unfortunately I can't remember which country it was  |
