You've got to be kidding...

According to a British law passed in 1845, attempting to commit suicide was a capital offense. Offenders could be hanged for trying.

These seem too stupid to be true...

In Fairbanks, Alaska it is illegal for a moose to walk on the side walk. This dates back to the early days if the town when the owner of the bar had a pet moose that he used to get drunk. The moose would then stumble around the town drunk. The only way the law makers could prevent this from happening was to create the law so the moose could not cross the sidewalk and get into the bar.

In Ohio, the law states that it is illegal to get a fish drunk. Apparently, the “drinks like a fish” saying doesn’t apply to the marine life in this region...so you can give a carp or a trout the worm, but you better drink the bottle of tequila all by yourself!

UK laws that WILL get you in trouble:

- In Scotland it is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow.

UK laws that WON"T get you into trouble:

So are we betting that a GUY came up with this one? One who's peed outside on many occasions, perhaps?

The list just goes on and on...

Pennsylvania law prohibits a man from buying alcohol without a note of permission from his wife.

Texas law states that no person can consume more than three sips of beer at a time if they are standing up.

In Iowa, it’s illegal to start a tab at a bar.

Thanks to the U.S. Drug Free Schools and Campuses Act, an underage student studying abroad is forbidden from drinking alcohol, even if they are in a country where they meet the drinking age requirements. I'm guessing this one isn't enforced!

I think that would be a safe bet to make.

I heard that this one stems from the horse and carriage days, from that position he cannot be seen from the sidewalk and therefore not 'exposing' himself.
The theory doesn't seem to work on a 6 lane highway

 

[DDgirl]

LMAO

Makes you wonder who comes up with theses.

Here's another one:

In Hong Kong a woman is legally allowed to kill her cheating husband, only if she uses her bare hands. The husband's lover however may be killed in any manner desired.

A couple more crazy doq laws...

In Paulding, OH., a policeman may bite a dog to quiet him.

A law passed in Denver says that the dog catcher must notify dogs of impounding by posting, for three consecutive days, a notice on a tree in the city park and along a public road running through said park.

 

[CCaprice]

According to the World Canine Organization FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale), there are approximately 400 recognized breeds of dog worldwide.

However, there is some contention about this. Various kennel clubs recognize different breeds. and all "purebreds" are, in reality, derived from mixed-breed dog populations, complicating the issue further.
