I probably going off topic here a little bit but I can't restrain myself.
Flatlander there are way more then one silly law in the world. You could do an internet search and find whole listas of silly laws. I can give you one as an example. In great Britain it is illegal to die in the houses of parlement. How silly is that? How do you convict a dead person?
Or I could point out to a Dutch weapon law. anything that looks like a gun is illegal. Not to long a reporter testing this got arrested because of her umbrella that had a hunting rifle grip attached to it.
