I just love "its illegal to die in the Parliament"

Fun fact - "common law" marriage is illegal in Mississippi, or at least my part of it

Can you please clarify, for the stupid among us (<-- me )

It is illegal for a pair of adults, being unmarried man and woman, to act as husband and wife; ie, living together under the same roof.

Indiana Archaeology law: If you can roll down a hill, you can't dig in it.

[Vortigern]

Over here it is considered treason to place a postage stamp (but only one bearing the Queen's head - novelty ones are fine either way) upside down. And in York it is legal to kill a Scotsman within the city walls as long as you use a longbow.

And I can't remember where it is exactly, but one American city declares on its statute that it is illegal to throw bales of hay from second-storey windows. Makes you wonder which idiot made that a necessary stipulation.

[Pasidon]

Now that could be a historic law or a modern day one... depends what state it's in. Sounds like a Georgia law to me... they have some crazy sanity sucking laws down there.

[Caspa]

Last I checked, it's still illegal in Britain to have a badly fitting bathplug, but perfectly legal for a pregnant woman to piss in a policemans hat.

[Vortigern]

Pregnant women are actually allowed to piss absolutely anywhere, be that a policeman's hat or the floor of the House of Lords. We are a society of gentlemen. Or something.

Um, I think I remember hearing somewhere in the US that it was illegal to put icecream in your back pocket, as people had been luring cows away from other peoples' property that way.

[Pasidon]

I guess butt-freeze is illegal.

We are a society of gentlemen.

Think I saw that on the bottom of a Snapple bottle... or in a dirty Oregon bathroom. They both say a lot of things.

I think it was Alabama where you are not allowed to chain alligators to fire hydrants.

So Pas is from Oregon, or were you just passing through?

[Pasidon]

Just rumors about how filthy a Oregon public poop house is. It's always been my theory one would enter such a vile place to seek wisdom.

I remember a few years ago they banned catapults in Pennsylvania. Since the law needed to be enforced all of a sudden, you know what that means...

Oh, screw that. I just heard about the greatest political achievement in human history. While we, the United States, are facing an environmental crisis, economic hardships, a war, loosing a global game of kick ball, and fighting goat bombers... our mighty Californian Legislative Body gets together to discuss the horrors that need to be cleansed from this nation. In conclusion, they came out of that meeting with the decision to ban happy meal toys in California... well meet young cretins of humanity... well done...

, economic hardships,

What a economic crisis.

a war,

And what a war.

decision to ban happy meal toys in California... well meet young cretins of humanity... well done...

OMG NO MORE HAPPY MEAL TOYZ. WAT WE GONNA DO.

Yes,they are cretins,but honestly,who the fuck cares if they don't get any happy meal toys?The rest of the world will be okay,will have happy meal toys,except California.I see no damage to the world's situation.

[Elvenlord]

The point is they're worried about happy meal toys when things are less than great. I didn't think that would need to be said.

[Allathar]

Define 'worried'. It's just a law that got passed through. Now, if the whole world was worried about it, that'd be a different story.

[Pasidon]

Well I'm just getting all hyper on how stupid California has been this year. They're so far in debt, you can see a complex stratification in the hobo living class. They're banning trans-fat and plastic toys... weird both of these components make up 60% of a fast food restaurant. They spent all this money on that stupid future-highway... whatever it's called... because California is supposed to be a role model in the future of the world and they just keep going further into debt. Botox fail.

Seriously? I've broken the law several times then





I believe the happy toys thing is part of an attempt to reduce childhood obesity, which is something to be worried about.

[Pasidon]

I just heard why today from a friend of mine. The child obesity thing was my thinking too, but apparently they're being banned due to the lingering threat of lead from the China Market the toys are made on. Guess the lead shortcuts the Chinese are taking happened again... do those penniless children ever learn?
