Do you know any? Here are three I know.

1. In San Fransisco (or some Californian city) if you set of a nuclear bomb, you get hit by a $500 fine.

2. In Canada, it is illegal to jump out of a plane in flight without a parachute.

3. In my uni town, on the last day of each month, you were allowed to herd your animal herd (cows, pigs, etc..) through the city centre from 12:00 am to 5:00 am. I really wanted to try that when all the bars were closing, but I couldn't find a herd of cows for rent Smile

In London, every cabbie (taxi driver) must carry a bale of hay.

Of course, this comes from the days when cabs were hrose-drawn: the law has never been removed from the Statute Book.

In Korea, "Traffic police are required to report all bribes that they receive from motorists".

You know, you got me to thinking that it would be pretty funny to own a cow. And then I got to thinking again. My friend owns a big old house in the country with tons of property. He should start buying cows and pigs, etc. He could end up a rich man. The local meat guy has livestock on his huge property and somehow it's a tax break. Hmmm.
