Brilliant. I heard of one of these daft laws for the town of York here in the Uk that it is legal to shoot scotsmen on a sunday with a bow and arrow.
Yeah....I'm working on collecting all kinds of odd laws from all over...Any suggestions or website pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

The one I gave you came from a radio show, I bet there are sites out there with loads of this sort of thing on it guess you just going to have to google your way too them sorry.:)
Other funny ones are the insurance claims, but I guess a lot of people have read those already.
