Re: Incredibly STOOOOOOOOPID Laws
what's possibly the funniest thing about these is that there had to have been an incident when all these things were a problem to cause these laws to come about.
i personally would like to have been there for the cause of the sex with porcupines one.

Re: Incredibly STOOOOOOOOPID Laws
this is true in chicago too, and it's because a fire in a theatre in the late 1800's killed hundreds when the doors opened inwards, and the mass of people trying to get out pinned the doors shut.Phil Owl wrote:Doors of all public buildings must open outwards.
Not a stupid law at all.
But i don't know why a gal can't skydive on a sunday.

Re: Incredibly STOOOOOOOOPID Laws
This is my new fav site!!
I LOVE NY :
A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.
It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.
The penalty for jumping off a building is death.
Carmel
A man can't go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match.
Greene
During a concert, it is illegal to eat peanuts and walk backwards on the sidewalks.
