Apparently "no billboards" is a dumb law for Hawaii? Hogwash. It's a great law. We locals prize our land and our views of the ocean/mountains. It also helps drastically reduce things like road rage on the island of oahu, among other things.

It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale. Women may not drive in a house coat. No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour. Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.

 

California has ridiculous laws that makes me wonder how they were passed, but these go above and beyond what I would normally expect.

Welcome to Canada, promised land of weird ass-backwards laws!

 

If you are released from prison, it is required that you are given a handgun with bullets and a horse, so you can ride out of town. (Calgary, birthplace of Ted Cruz) 

 

You're not allowed to release 10 or more helium balloons within 24 hours. (Toronto, my city.)

 

You can't drag a dead horse down Yonge St. on a Sunday. (Toronto, again.)

 

You may not eat ice cream on Bank St. on a Sunday. (Ottawa, our nation's capital)

 

It is illegal to kill a sasquatch. (British Columbia)

 

Well there you go!

FRANCE  :3

 

In France, you can legally marry a dead person as long as preliminary civic formalities have been completed which show that you and your fiancee had planned to marry before your fiancee died.

==> France is a nice country for necrophiliacs and michetonneuses.

 

No pig may be addressed as Napoleon by its owner.

==> Seems legit

 

It is forbidden without a cemetery plot to die on the territory of the commune.

==> How dare they spread the secret of our long life expectancy ?

 

It is illegal to take photos of police officers or police vehicles, even if they are just in the background.

==> If I'm not mistaken, that last one is false...

You may never leave your car keys in an unattended vehicle.

I decided that I would do Mexican laws:

 

Bicycle riders may not lift either foot from the peddles, as it might result in a loss of control.

 

It is illegal to shout any offensive words in public.

 

At least they are looking out for us when it comes to bike saftey. :^)

 

 

Oddly enough there are several laws pertaining to Christianity yet churches are not allowed to have a printing press and you can't preach in public without a special permit.
