Another 25 Laws That Prove The World Really Is Nuts
After seeing how angry and irate people got after reading the original 10 Laws That Prove The World Is Nuts list I decided to throw some more petrol on the fire and gather together more weird and crazy laws from around the world.
I doubt the 25 bizarre laws listed below will provoke people in the same way part 1 did as there’s no mention of religion – an area many liked to latch on to and made all sorts of amusing, wild and unfounded accusations.
So without further-a-do, here’s another ten laws that prove the world really is nuts.
In Alabama, it is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while driving a vehicle.
In San Salvador, drunk drivers can be punished by death before a firing squad.
In Switzerland, it is illegal for a man to relieve himself while standing up after 10pm.
In Jidda, Saudi Arabia, women were banned from using hotel
swimming pools in 1979
In France, it is against the law to sell an “E.T” doll. They have a law forbidding the sale of dolls that do not have human faces.
In Pennsylvania, it’s against the law to tie a dollar bill on a string on the ground and pull it away when someone tries to pick it up.

In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
Under the UK’s Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don’t want him to know, though you don’t have to tell him anything you don’t mind him knowing.
In Calgary Alberta, there is still a by-law that requires businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses.
In Samoa, it’s a crime to forget your own wife’s birthday.
In Tennessee, you are breaking the law if you drive while sleeping.
In Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is considered “simple assault,” but biting someone with your dentures is “aggravated assault.”

You really don’t get it, do you? The reason people got mad at you wasn’t religion, it was that you took a giant load of bullshit and presented it as fact with no hint of “hey, these aren’t for real”. People don’t enjoy being lied to. Now, if it was obvious that this was a humor article, that would be different, but on the face of it, you’re saying “look, real actual stupid laws!” It doesn’t matter whether or not they’re funny (and yes, some of them are amusing), you just can’t present made-up junk as fact and not expect to get called out on it.
This is in response to BS – not you or anyone else proved any of the 35 laws listed are not real.
You, like the others, open your mouth and let your belly rumble as you sit on your high horse acting like the humour police.
As far as I’m concerned – it’s YOU who doesn’t get it but you are so far up your own ass you’ll never realise it.
Lol how do you even think these things up?
What the hell is wrong wit the stupid people talking shit about djmick. He can put what he wants up and you don’t have to read it. If you are so offended by what he puts up then make your own damn website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ all the haterz out there who think this stuff is made up:
http://www.dumblaws.com/law/57
everyone wants proof well just look here http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&client=opera&hs=DEZ&rls=en&q=stupid+laws&aq=f&aqi=g6g-s1g3&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= This list doesnt even begin to list teh stupid laws left on the books
lol to the Scottish law. Heard of a similar law involving the Welsh. It is legal to shoot a Welsh man with a crossbow if you are more than so many (I forget the exact number) feet away from him at 12 noon only.
lawl at haters failing at hating
fun stuff btw
This is funny stuff. I don’t care if it’s true or not!
Everyone getting all worked up over it makes it even funnier!
Get a life and go read a book if you don’t like what you’re reading on the internet!
I can’t believe how ignornat and close minded people are these days. They can’t believe anything is real. To many people got tricked before I guess, so to them everything is fake.
hilarious… scotish one was the best
also the one with wife’s b’day
hehe… lmao
All of these laws (including most of the ones on the ast article) are true. They just aren’t in use anymore, they were written down ages ago and forgotten. However they weren’t taken out of the law either, so these little things still exist as ‘real’ laws that are never enforced.
tada
The laws aren’t true. A couple of them are actually old laws that are no longer on the books that get passed around. I realize this is an old article, but after reading the comments and realizing that many of accused the writer or making these things up, I have to agree.
Particularly since this one: “In Devon, Texas, it is against the law to make furniture while you are nude. ”
There IS no city in the state of Texas called Devon. There’s Denton and Devine, but no Devon. Devon being my last name, and having lived in Texas all my life, but even more so, look up the listing of Texas cities and you’ll see it doesn’t exist.
So how can there be a law about something in a city that doesn’t exist?
Yeah, making things up can be satire, but not when it’s not presented that way. It’s things like this that stink up the internet and cause Goolge to change its algorithms to avoid the spammy crappy stuff.
Michelle…..I wonder how the laws in Yugoslavia could ever have been believed or Siam laws?
No such places, right?
No….those places don’t exist now because they have had their names changesd.
Towns often have their names changed too…..so it is perfectly possible that Devon, Texas existed many years ago.
I’ve heard most of these before and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were true. At the boys version of my school (which is about 500 years old) there is a rule that the head boy is allowed to keep a goat and can grow a beard.
Also; In Alabama it is illegal to carry an ice-cream cone in your back pocket, and somewhere in America it is illegal to serve alcoholic beverages to a moose or something like that, and in France it is illegal to land a flying saucer in a vineyard.
To everyone who is kicking up a fuss saying these aren’t true; Who cares?! They make people chuckle; lighten up and jog on.
the one about the scottish in york is true, and the one about the welsh someone mentioned in the comments is it is still legal to shoot a welshman with a long bow providing he is within the city walls of chester between midnight and 1am.
though i wouldnt want to try pulling that in a court room…
notice how almost all these laws are only in america?
Well, I see that no one else did but I DID enjoy this xD if the other people who commented this don’t like this, they just shouldn’t read it.. It’s not specifical written for these people, so just leave everybody alone and don’t pay attention to this article if you don’t like it.. Respect each other’s likes and dislikes, otherwise these comments are just as crazy as the laws in the article itself.
Just keep on doing what you like, and stop making a big fuss about something.
i think some people just need to chill
this is ment to be a funny artical right?
so take it with giggle and if you are “not amused” then look away
cuz nobody is forcing you ti read it
Anyone who seriously expected uncited lines on a comedy website to be true needs to open their eyes a little. However, some of the ones in the previous post had quite racist overtones and shouldn’t have been included. A lot of comedy is racist. The racism is not always intentional. I do wonder though, since there are plenty of genuinely funny laws out there, why there was any need to make up less funny ones just to pad out your list.
Okay, wow. People? Get lives. Stop bickering over this. He can put up whatever the heck he wants to. You want to know why? Because no one cares. He didn’t say that they were true, and he didn’t say that they were false. But why would someone just make up really weird rules and post them on the website? It’s stupid and pointless and so are you. Get lives. You’re all just a bunch of big babies. Gosh. seriously. I. Hate. PEOPLE.
I’m from Calgary Alberta and that law is still around and so is the one where if the mayor kicks you out of town they must provide you with a gun and a full set of rounds a horse and enough food for you and your horse for 2 days.
