Every US president elected in a year ending in "0" has been shot while in office, except Ronald Reagan who survived.

*Anarky* · 02-13-2004, 04:28 PM

now that's amazing.

many US-americans believe that Saddam was responsible for 9/11 (amazing what propaganda can do...)

*Kameko* · 02-13-2004, 04:41 PM

Supposedly...

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

Also...

In Texas, when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

(Note: I've never actually heard of either of these for myself, but I found them on DumbLaws.com.)

Clothes may not be hung to dry on Sunday

True, i know of several cases where people got sued for doing that

Quote:

You may not wash your car on a Sunday.

True, same as above

Quote:

It is considered an offense to mow your lawn on a Sunday, because it causes too much noise.

you can't ever mow your lawn. somebody always gets offended...

Quote:

It is illegal to flush the toilet after 10 P.M. if you live in an apartment

English laws

"All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy."
Every englishmen is a trained bow assasin

"You can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight."
Let the midnight hunt begin

"You may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close."
just get away from the building and you'll be fine

"Excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow."
I will make them pay for ever inventing that damn whiskey, mohaa

Something tells me that the englishmen loves longbows and hates welsh and scots

*The Defibrillator* · 02-13-2004, 05:22 PM

Until 1978 it was legal to kill mormons in Missouri.

I voted for "Give it a rest already!!!". Maybe that was too harsh since I'm only thinking of one particular spammin' trollin' idiot. You know who I mean.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 02-13-2004, 08:18 PM

i also think it needs a rest, its pretty much the same as the stupidity thread, it should be a little more different, i just hope we get a spam foum, that would be cool

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-13-2004, 09:28 PM

Or maybe a "blog" kind of forum.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-13-2004, 09:50 PM

They should lock and delete the stupidity thread. It's a total waste of space.

Technically that's only true in the City of York,and if you see the Scotsman on the City Walls. lol (I used to live there)

That's what happens when you have over 1000 years of legislation on the statute books and don't review it often enough. The laws make sense historically.
