Hera are some weird laws I have found

Colorado

Every citizen who wants to modify weather in Colorado must get a permit to do it.
WHY?
Because there are some places where it is illegal to perform activities that produce artificial changes in the composition or behavior of the atmosphere, such as burning silver iodide, which carries into the clouds to stimulate rain.

The modification shall cause minimal harm to the environment and maximum benefit to people.

Virginia

It’s against the law for a woman to drive a car in Main Street unless her husband is walking in front of the car waving a red flag. To warn the people that she is getting close.

Switzerland

The Swiss need to have a strict control of their bladder. Pulling the toilet chain later than ten o’clock at night is illegal. It also illegal for a man to urinate standing after ten o’clock.
All because, according to them, it causes noises that the neighbors do not have to bear.

Idaho

Cannibalism is punishable for 14 years in prison, but it is legal to “ingest flesh or human blood” if it is the only mean for survival.
WHY?
Idaho erected the ban of this practice in 1990 as a reaction to spreading fear that eating humans would pop-up in ritualized practices.

Ohio
That law's purpose is to prevent animals in the area from eating the poisoned fish.

Alamosa, Colorado
Throwing missiles at cars is illegal.

It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly project any missile at or against any vehicle or equipment designed for the transportation of persons or property.

Michigan

The U.S. have fame for odd laws.
In Michigan, is prohibited to throw octopuses. This law appeared after in 1952 the local team of hockey needed to win eight games to conquest the cup. One of the fans threw an octopus over the ice (one tentacle for match), and the team were the champions.

United Kingdom

In the UK you must not die in the inside the english parlament
The British Parliament has a status or position of the Royal Family’s Palace.
Thus, if someone dies in there, he/she has the right to have a State funeral.
In 2007, British citizens voted this law as the most ridiculous one.

Finally, what I´ve been looking for.

What can we do to change laws, rules, nationally, locally, globally? How can we continue to vote drain swamp rats & minimize government more and more each day? http://DrudgeReport.com
