As we all know we got tons of really weird laws, either because they're really old and not been sorted out or because they're just..............weird:) Here's two to get you going, anyone know anymore?

If a welshman is found in Chester after midnight and before dawn he/she can be beheaded on the steps of the town hall.

In, i think, Alabama it's a most heinous crime to tether you're GIRAFFE to a lamp post:D

And there was another one from the US about it being illegal to push a dog like a wheelbarrow:)

    *Chelsea Pensioners may not be impersonated

    *It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle

    There is a website somewhere with a list of most weird laws around... I wish I could remember the address. I recall a few other laws though. There is a town somewhere in northern England where it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with an arrow (but only on a Sunday). Apparently we are required to give a glass of water to anyone who knocks on our front door and asks for one. And (my favourite) if a lady is in urgent need of a piss on the street she may use a policeman's hat for the task. Don't know if the last one is true though...

    Woohoo! One of my favourite topics! Always good for a laugh.

    Aladdin, you may be thinking of http://www.dumblaws.com. There are some great gems there! In Canada, you can still get up to 14 years in prison for "alarming the Queen". It's also illegal to drag a dead horse down Yonge Street in Toronto, but only on a Sunday. It's legal any other day of the week. :D And in Calgary, I think, you have to give someone a gun when you release them from prison. LOL. :p

    Its illegal to fry bacon on marlow high street.

    Also you can ask a policeman for his helmet to urinate in (in london) if you're a pregnant woman.

    just my little contribution
