[Biomanic]

Post dumb TRUE laws here.

The following are true laws from Wisconsin In America:

Whenever two trains meet at an intersection of said tracks, neither shall proceed until the other has.

As people used to smuggle it in from Illinois, all yellow butter substitute is banned.

Condoms were considered an obsene article and had to hidden behind the pharmacist’s counter.

At one time, margarine was illegal.

State Law made it illegal to serve apple pie in public restaurants without
cheese.

The state definition of rape stated that it was a man having sex with a woman he knows not to be his wife.

While all cheese making requires a license, Limburger cheese making requires a master cheese maker’s license.

It is illegal to kiss on a train.

It is illegal to cut a woman’s hair.

Margarine may not be substituted for butter in restaurants unless it is requested by the customer.

The government may not prohibit manual flushed urinals.One may not camp in a wagon on any public highway or risk a fine of up to ten dollars.

Livestock have the right-of-way on public roads.

Actually I think the livestock one is fairly understandable.
Most of the others are funny though.
In fact, isn't that livestock law in place in Australia, too?

[[>Pulse<]]

[justme]

Its is still legal to ride up George Street in a horse and carriage with a shotgun as a defense against bushrangers

[Biomanic]

It's Wisconsin. A law like that is kinda understandable, it's like, a farming state, and nothing else.

Unbeknownst to most, yes.
I will be studying Overseas Education and Law when I go to Uni, which will be, if my plan goes right (and probably won't xD), 2014 (after living in Japan for a year).

Oh... awesome.. I have no plan for my life... Just take it as it comes I guess...

Here's some for you, Amaya .
-Laws from Alaska, USA-

-Moose may not be viewed from an airplane.
-While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited.
-It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.
-Persons may not live in a trailer as it is being hauled across the city.
-It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose. (( Wth is with the moose? D: ))
-A person may only carry a concealed slingshot if that person has received the appropriate license. (Uunconcealed slingshots are fine.))
-One may not roam the city with a bow and arrows.

Note that a lot of these 'crazy laws' posted are taken out of context.
I looked up a lot of the laws and read the full text and it's really quite understandable. Some, like the living in trailer thing, sound funny, but could well be pretty serfious in-place laws for good reason.

Biomanic's one about camping in a wagon stated that the offender would face a fine of up to $10. This is silly, and is true, however this is also accompanied by a prison sentence, and is not refering to just highways but on any land that they have been asked not to camp on.
