What are some the dumbest laws you've ever heard of?

In North Carolina, it's still illegal to mow your lawn in your underwear on Sundays.

In Colorado, the government can still hang you for stealing some one's horse.

I just thought of a really good one.

In many counties in Colorado, they have actually ban a breed of dog. How stupid is that? Pigs & deer are known to kill more humans a year than this breed of dog. It's called a pitbull.

They ban pitbulls everywhere, not just in Colorado. Most larger cities like Detroit ban them because that's where the big dog fights are. I agree that it is ridiculous. The pitbull is known to please its owner, and if it's owner happens to fight dogs, it will be vicious and fight dogs because that's what the owner wants. In the right hands the pitbull is a wonderful dog.

Here in Oregon it's actually legal to have a duel. If you win, however, you can't have a job.

No idea which state it is, but it's illegal to walk backwards with a duck on your head...

In New Hampshire car insurance IS NOT MANDATORY....But: it is ILLEGAL to get in a car accident and NOT HAVE INSURANCE. Talk about 'tard!


This next doesn't really fit here... I kinda wish this law exsisted today!

There was an ancient Greek law that prohibited politicians from leading "a life of debauchery" and violators were prohibited from speaking in public and were permanently prohibited from addressing the People's Assembly.

Just think of how quiet it would be in Washington DC right now! LoL

Here are some from my home state of Vermont:

  • Women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
  • At one time it was illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole.
  • It is illegal to deny the existence of God.
  • It's illegal to use colored margarine in restaurants unless the menu indicates you do--in letters two inches high. Colored margarine can only be served in triangle shaped patties.
  • It is illegal to defame a court.
  • Whistling underwater is illegal.
  • It's against the law for vagrants to procure food by force. Apparently if you have a good job and stable home life, it's O.K. to procure food by force.
  • It is illegal to paint landscapes in times of war.

Also, there's a law in the city of Barre that says all residents must bathe on Saturday night.

Hahaha! Gymnophobia: Fear of being nude. People who wear clothes even in the shower have some form of this.

Yes, but if someone's that desperate to know what the land looks like, what's to stop them from using existing landscapes?
