Strange Laws.
Here's our fabulous collection of Strange Laws that can
date back very far. Most of these laws remain in the books
today, even if rarely enforced.
*Laws shown here have been collected from sources believed to be
reliable, however, there are no guarantees. We recommend that
you conduct further research if you plan on using any of these in a publication!

I saw that before, lol and it was funny. Somewhere in there though, I thought there was a law in Arkansas (or Alabama, whichever) to marry your mother in law. Cant remember which.

LOL cute!!!! My dad had a book when I was a wee lil one on laws still on the books. One is about aproaching an intersection, one must disassemble the vehicle and reassemble it. Another is applying the hand to the horn, a certain amount of feet before the intersection. There were some really strange laws.
