The top 10 most ridiculous British laws: 1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament 2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down 3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store 4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day 5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter 6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet 7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen 8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing 9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armor 10. 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.

Yes, I guess every country/state has some on the books. My personal favorite comes from Alabama where it is illegal to drive a car while blindfolded. Here are more: http://www.eldar.org/~ben/funny/html/180.html

Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of the laws fit that category, but when you factor in the stupid and pointless people, it's probably about 1/4 of them.

this is a world where drive through ATM machines have Bealle (touch language for the blind) lapels on the keypads, "don't drink" label on bottles of bleach and "no smoking" signs at places where highly explosive/flammable liquids are sold. in other worlds this is a world full of stupidity so yes there are many laws that are stupid.

Yes,age of concent laws that make criminals out of younger boys and girls and in many cases when an older person is dating a younger one. These laws should be abolished and left up to the parents or at the descression of those involved. The law has no business in the lives of those as long as no one is injured or forced and is consensual between all parties involved.
