Odd Laws

So I was looking up strange laws of my home country, Canada, and found some that are indeed odd.

Every 5th song on the radio must by a Canadian-born citizen.
In British Columbia, it is illegal to kill a sasquatch.
In Quebec, all business signs must be in French. If the business owner wants to put English on the sign, the French must be twice as large.

Also, I find this one amusing:
In Alaska, it is illegal to push a moose off of a plane.

Discuss strange laws here.

In Gravity Falls, it's legal to marry woodpeckers...Okay, fine. Here's the real law:

In Baltimore, Maryland it's illegal to take a lion to the movies.

Re: Odd Laws

In India, women can marry goats. Men can't.

In New York, anything against the law is illegal.  wink

Re: Odd Laws

In Alabama ( i think): it is illegal to wear a fake mustache in a church.

In Greece, you will be fined if you are not smiling or happy. The only exceptions are a funeral, hospital, etc.

I don't think very many people in Greece can obey that law.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Welcome to Alaskan jail, zubblewu. Rule 1: This toilet is just a chair.

So now me, zubblewu, and ImagineIt are stuck in Alaskan jail. The food here sucks. It's just salmon.
I HATE SALMON.
Oh, and apparently you're not allowed to walk around with a bow and arrow in the city. So now Katniss is in here too.

Katniss is a made-up character and is not real. Therefore she cannot be imprisoned.


well, in lewes (just try and guess how that's pronounced):
No person shall disrobe under the boardwalk, on the beach or in any vehicle or truck while such vehicle is parked upon any public street or way or other public place in plain view of the public.

Re: Odd Laws

In Chicago, it illegal to eat in a place that is on fire.
Although I have 3rd degree burns, it was still worth eating that deep dish pizza. Yum.

No they're not because we got them off the internet. You can't put anything on the internet if it isn't true. Just ask my French model.

I think the law might be to prevent Sunday/sundae jokes.
