Some funny laws
I came across some funny laws- and although I haven't verified any of these, thought I'd post my findings:
*It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.
*It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen's image upside-down.
*It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.
*Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned.
*If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and asks to use your toilet, you are required to let them enter.
*In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants.
*The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen.
*It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing.
*It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armor.
*It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.
* In Ohio, it is illegal to get a fish drunk
* A male doctor in Bahrain can only examine the privates of a woman in the reflection of a mirror
* In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself standing up after 10pm.
* It is illegal to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle in Alabama.
* In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on a Sunday could be jailed.
* Women in Vermont must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
* In Milan, it is a legal requirement to smile at all times, except during funerals or hospital visits.
* In France, it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon.
Here's a whole slew of dumb stuff:
