Ah, yes. Stupid laws . . .

In old England (and America), if you tried to commit suicide and failed, they would hang you.

In New York, you are not allowed to speak in elevators, nor are you allowed to conduct puppet shows in your window. How odd is that?!

Lol ^^ Those are so cool Bhrett!!! It was a real pleasure to read that. Those really are silly laws, but all of them were created because of stupid people and some of them actually seem quite ok to be put up now.

I would gladly punnish all people who try to do suicide... suicide just creeps me out. I almost went mad because of such a happening once... I am fighting it with all four (sorry- latvian saying) ever since.

And I actually adore the fact that Britain still has laws that worked such a long time ago. It just shows how good the laws were... It's like one of those historical monuments

"A law stating that in Liverpool, only a clerk in a tropical fish store is allowed to be publicly topless, was also ridiculous, said a poll of 3,931 people for UKTV Gold television out Tuesday."

That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've ever heard! Although, now I wanna move to liverpool and open a tropical fish store, LOL!

We've got a pretty stupid law here in Minnesota--I promise I'll look up more--actually, it's in Minneapolis rather (one of those 108 year old city laws that no cop would dare to enforce). It's illegal to spit on the sidewalk. I see people spitting all the time! Why it's still illegal is beyond me! I know that you couldn't about a century ago because everyone and thier mom chewed tobacco, but I mean, damn... What would happen if I was walkin' down the street and decided to spit some nastiness out of my mouth, or if I coughed up some crazy lung butter and a cop tries to arrest me? He'd have to chase me to be able to take me to jail over something that dumb. LOL.

I hear that in, correct me if I'm wrong, North or South Dakota, it's illegal to sleep with shoes or socks on. LOL. That's pretty funny too.
