Top 25 world´s strangest laws

Due to my inability to find and upload good videos, I´d rather upload alternative funny stuff.

These are the top 25 world´s strangest laws:

25. It is illegal for a cab in the City of London to carry rabid dogs or corpses.

24. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.

23. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down.

22. In France, it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon.

21. Under the UK’s Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don’t want him to know, though you don’t have to tell him anything you don’t mind him knowing.

20. In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle.

19. In Ohio, it is against state law to get a fish drunk.

18. Royal Navy ships that enter the Port of London must provide a barrel of rum to the Constable of the Tower of London.

17. In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.

16. In Lancashire, no person is permitted after being asked to stop by a constable on the seashore to incite a dog to bark.

15. In Miami, Florida, it is illegal to skateboard in a police station.

14. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

13. In the UK, all men over the age of 14 must carry out two hours of longbow practice a day.

12. In London, Freemen are allowed to take a flock of sheep across London Bridge without being charged a toll; they are also allowed to drive geese down Cheapside.

11. In San Salvador, drunk drivers can be punished by death before a firing squad.

10. In the UK, a man who feels compelled to urinate in public can do so only if he aims for his rear wheel and keeps his right hand on his vehicle.

9. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.

8. In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon more than six-feet long.

7. In Chester, Welshmen are banned from entering the city before sunrise and from staying after sunset.

6. In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

5. In Boulder, Colorado, it is illegal to kill a bird within the city limits and also to “own” a pet – the town’s citizens, legally speaking, are merely “pet minders”.

4. In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

3. In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.

2. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination; he may only see their reflection in a mirror.

1. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast is legally the property of the King; the tail, on the other hand, belongs to the Queen - in case she needs the bones for her corset.

  • eviltwins: "Due to your inability to find and upload anything good, you decided to make something up! You dickhead... Most of those UK laws are bollocks and I would assume the rest are ones you made up whilst sitting on the toilet playing with yourself... TWAT"
    Gee, thanks for thinking I have such a big imagination.

    But no, I did not make it up. I found it somewhere (I won´t tell you where, try uploading something yourself)and randomly checked some of them to see if they were true. T More..

  • "14. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation."

  • SIR#SPITFIRE: "The town of Berwick-on-Tweed on the border between Scotland and England is technically still at war with Russia. As it was a disputed town between England and Scotland which country it belonged to.It was declared "a neutral territory" from 1551 to being incorporated into the union in 1885. The Crimean Wars between Britain and Russia was 1853-56 and as no one mentioned the neutral Berwick-on-tweed -which was declared at war along with the rest of the British Isles at the begining of the Wars, BUT-it was forgotten to un-declare as at War with Russia (of the "neutral territory") when hostilities ended! "

  • Some laws are just too old to change. For example, Black London Taxi's (Hackney Carriages) are still required by law to carry a bail of hay
