Was expecting Looney Tunes, but not disappointed, it was interesting...

In Honolulu, Hawaii, its illegal to stare at your phone while crossing the street.

I'm gonna troll #D2 with this.

A whale is the only animal you can hunt from a moving vehicle in Tennessee.

I don't care if these are fake they're funny

Lawyer here. These are always so misleading and largely incorrect. I don't believe most of these and neither should you. The way these dumb myths become popular is by imagining hypothetical situations that could break the law. Take the Swiss one, for example. The law says nothing about your car door. You just cannot make overly loud and disruptive noise during the night (as is the case in pretty much every country with laws on public peace and order), so that becomes "it's illegal to slam your car door". Same goes for the Greek one. No one can have their license withdrawn for being poorly dressed or unbathed. This applies only to taxi drivers who can have their [i]taxi license[/i] revoked if they don't meet general requirements of professionalism (as is the case for hundreds of jobs in many countries). The Paraguay dueling one? [url=https://adisquisitivemind.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/lesson-307-dueling-is-not-in-fact-lega-in-paraguay/]Not a shred of truth to it.[/url] The Reykjavic dog one? Not at all illegal, your dog [url=http://icelandinpictures.com/post/5670737648/why-are-dogs-banned-in-reykjavik-or-are-they]just needs to be registered[/url] to a person and an address. Another example would be a supposed law that says it's illegal to tie a bison to a fire hydrant in Montana. This might be technically correct, but that's only because the law says that you cannot obstruct access to a fire hydrant in any way, which obviously includes the bison thing too but doesn't mention it specifically and is actually illegal in the entire country. It's like saying "wow, did you know that it's a law in the USA that you cannot put on clown make-up and juggle butt naked on a unicycle within 20 feet of a traffic light??". Well, duh, but that's because just being naked in public can be considered public indecency. None of the other stuff matters and it's not actually part of the law. Common sense and basic fact checking, people.

there are some crazy laws still on the books in many states across the U.S.

I doubt anyone actually enforces them, unless they're scraping by for revenue

I think this is in Switzerland: If you have a pet that is a social animal, you must own 2 of them, because keeping it solitary would be cruel. That's not terribly strange, but the strange part is the resulting market for guinea pigs, which are popular pets there. People buy two of them, and eventually one dies. So if you buy one more, you have to prove that you already own one and that you originally bought 2 of them. People then get stuck in a loop, constantly buying guinea pigs because it's very rare for 2 to die at once. Thus emerged the guinea pig rental market. You can rent a guinea pig when one of yours dies, so that way you have 2, and when the one you own dies, you return the rented one to the rental agency.

Illegal to have a dog? WHAT!?!?!?!?!?

In Florida you can have sex with animals but get a ticket for spiting on the side walk or even leaving your car running with no one in it

Our ally, Turkmenistan, banned playing of video games, listening to car radios, performing opera and ballet, smoking in public, long hair on men, and even growing facial hair.

i think i lost some brain cells trying to read all of this

You could write a book on archaic English laws that havent been purged...

Sodomy laws in 12 states still standing even though the supreme court rendered them unconstitutional. I mean, come on, a ban on butt s*x? That is way unconstitutional.

In 23 different nations, it's illegal to "downplay" the Holocaust. Not too long ago, an 89 year old woman was thrown in jail for questioning it. The truth fears no investigation.
