I think it's fine for people to make their own decision about it as long as it doesn't make anyone kill anyone else

I just think... "it makes you said that people can't kill and eat other people?" This is coming from someone who doesn't even eat dead animals, much less dead people!!

I don't like eating dead animals, but I think everyone should have a choice as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. I don't think people should be able to kill other people, just eat them.  smile

It is illegal for a doctor to ask a patient whether they own a gun.

It is illegal to sell your children.

Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.

If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.

It is illegal to skateboard without a license.

3 through 7 make sense

They all make sense

The door thing sounds like it would be a fire hazard, and whether or not you own a gun is a private matter that doctors don't really need to know about

Anyway, marriage has to be between a man and a woman in 40something states
Ha-ha

Re: Funny laws.

I found a couple stupid ones online:

Bath salts are banned from Ohio.

It is strictly prohibited to pronounce "Arkansas" incorrectly

It is a crime to share your Netflix password in Tennessee.

etc.

Re: Funny laws.

Found a dumb Canadian law that makes no sense at all:
If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town.

When this made barely any sense: founding of Canada to late 1800's.


When this made no sense: mid- 20th century to Now.


Oh, here's a funny law:


NDAA.

Re: Funny laws.

I love funny laws!! I have a few. Around where I live you:

-must notify the authorities within one hour if you have a pet tiger that has escaped
-you cannot use a slot machine in an outhouse
-it is illegal to fish for whales on sunday

That's what I have right now! I guess the legislators back then just had a lot of time on their hands.

My sense of humour must have dried up and died because I'm not finding many of these amusing at all, but fairly reasonable

I will now quote the Arkansas Code, title one, chapter four, subsection 105

1-4-105.  Pronunciation of state name.

  Whereas, confusion of practice has arisen in the pronunciation of the name of our state and it is deemed important that the true pronunciation should be determined for use in oral official proceedings.

And, whereas, the matter has been thoroughly investigated by the State Historical Society and the Eclectic Society of Little Rock, which have agreed upon the correct pronunciation as derived from history and the early usage of the American immigrants.

Be it therefore resolved by both houses of the General Assembly, that the only true pronunciation of the name of the state, in the opinion of this body, is that received by the French from the native Indians and committed to writing in the French word representing the sound. It should be pronounced in three (3) syllables, with the final "s" silent, the "a" in each syllable with the Italian sound, and the accent on the first and last syllables. The pronunciation with the accent on the second syllable with the sound of "a" in "man" and the sounding of the terminal "s" is an innovation to be discouraged.

So no, it isn't illegal, just discouraged

Yup. I don't know why the website established that as a "law" but ah well.
But it is real.
