    Some pretty obscure laws in the world. Are you guilty of breaking any of these?

    This website: http://www.oocities.org/athens/parthenon/6528/shaunlaws.htm   has some pretty strange laws from all around the world.  Thanks to hector/Dennis for commenting about the illegality of hanging a man with a wooden leg in the UK. 


    Enjoy looking at the "weird" laws of your land and the land of others.  Perhaps you need to be held accountable for one or more of them???
