First One

hehe... no one's been here before. He did you know that it was illegal to throw a jar of pickles at a trolley in Boston? (i think that's the city) It's also illegal to go out without underwear on in Thailand. Did you know that George Bush Jr. went to rehab for cocaine? Did you know that a stale eg floats on water? Did you know that if your fingers get stuc together with krazy glue you can unstick them with nailpolish remover? Did you know that almonds are a member of the peach family? Did you know that a duck's quack does not echo? Did you know that it is impossible to lick your own elbow? (wile it is attached I mean) Did you know that when Gilligan's Island first aired, peope called the National guard to tell them there were people washed ashore a desert island?

Cool or frightening? Give me some feedback if you happen to endup here.

Did you know it was illegal to ride an ungly horse in the state of Washinton? I'd like to know who measures the attractiveness of a horse!!!!

hehe... funny... but I got one better.

In Chicago, a man on the sidewalk amidst a crowd of people canot turn around and look at a woman in "that way" *wink wink*. If he does he will be fined $ 500 for the first offense and the sencong one will force him to where horseblinders!

I've got aother one- it is a law in a town somewhere in the south U.S.- maybe Alabama. It says that a man may not wear a fake mustache to church that produces inopportune laughter in such a solemn place.

I'd love to hear the history behind that =)

I have heard those also...all so bizzare. I wondoer if any of those laws have been repealed or whether they are still in operation?

The ones I wrote were still in the lawbooks but are so old that they aren't enforce anymore

I should post some from here in Oregon, you girls would be shocked (or, maybe you wouldn't, lol). By the way, I really like you, Gwen. Lawgoddess already knows I really like her, too, but anyway, not to be sappy, but I really do like you! 😛

Just thought I would share; I'm off to find ridiculous laws now...

Thankx pheonix... you and LawGoddess are pretty cool

I've read some odd laws.... one is a relgious law (more like advice bacause it's not enforced) in Israel where you cannot pick your nose. A Rabbi declared it after some nut asked him whether or not it was allowed by religious law... I read about why but I prefer to keep out images of peole picking their nose so I won't repeat it.

LOl
I wish i knew such far as for Ky. don't know

In ky its legal to marry first cousins.

In Louisiana, it's illegal to let water stand in puddles in your yard for over 24 hours.

Now that sounds dumb, but we have mosquitos galore. And this law IS still on the books. West Nile! West Nile!!

lol, very true.

Wow..you are really, really... persistant.

I am. But how does that relate to this thread? Pardon my confusion.

It has absolutely No Bearing..What So Ever on this thread. Tis thread bare. No, I was just impressed you'd found this one when you did. (I gave you 10 points!!)But it took you an hour to find it again..so I substract 25. You're in the red now.

lol, dammit!

must...win....game.....must!!

How can I get more points? There's little I won't do.

C'mon. That is unfair. How many girls say it like that? You're victorian even when you're not consciously thinking about it. I mean.. I read that..and petticoats and white gloves and hand wringing just.. oozed out of that statement. It's.. un nerving. It was .. pretty neat.

lol, sarcasm! (that's what was oozing out of *your* post)

There are many sides to the Phoenix. What can I say. 🙂

uh, no i doubt u could marry ur first cousions in ky.
but if u ever feel the need come on over and bring ur cousion of the first . would be okay with me Tate.

That is how we got royalty 13 they marry there first cousins not chucks ears.
