TOPIC: Believe it or not!!

Believe it or not!! 5 years, 1 month ago #871

just post anything u read about trivias on crimes and punishment which u think very very unique because its a "believe it or not" thing ....like the following:

>> In Michigan, it is illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant.

>> On the island of Jersey it's against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season. ..

>> In Alabama it is illegal to carry a comb in your pocket, because it may be used as a weapon. This comes after a 13 year old boy was killed when he was stabbed with a comb. ...

and more like Stranger than strange laws ...NYA HA HA  ;D

>> It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma

>> 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 Quebec, Canada, an old law states that margarine must be a different color from butter. This law is the result of Quebec dairy lobbyists' pressure to ''protect'' their dairy business. They claimed margarine was beginning to resemble butter, as to be mistaken for real butter. Make margarine unattractive, and consumers would stick to butter. The Quebec government caved in, and tried to impose a dark vermilion-colored margarine, which was disgusting. The color, finally, at the other extreme, is a pallid almost-white-colourless margarine.

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

>> It is illegal to sell an ET doll in France. They have a law forbidding the sale of dolls that do not have human faces.  ;D

>>In Athens, Greece, a driver's license can be lifted by the law if the driver is deemed either 'poorly dressed' or 'unbathed'.
