Obviously some people have too much time, making laws against what people will do. Get over it America. It is just fornication, like birds and bees and our cousins, the monkeys do. So do we human animals.

Were the quoted wierd laws passed? I suspect some of them quite a long time ago, and I also suspect that the quoted parts were small parts of bigger laws.

Time for another of my favourite thoughts - whenever a legislature passes a new law, they should have to recind an old one.

Any legislators enacting a law that restricts sex, in any way, should be neutered or spayed.

The country is oversaturated with idiots.

I had sex with Satan and did not use a condom.
Luckily we were in Illinois.
I gave birth to the spawn of Satan.
She wants to be a Psychiatrist when she grows up. How perfectly evil!!!

Here's Molly Ivins talking about how that law came to pass.

Now I personally want a law which prohibits Congress from screwing citizens in the wallet, and specifically prohibiting lobbyists from paying for such a sexual act.

Molly Ivins was a journalistic genius and the world is a far worse place without her.

Five Tennessee Legislators co-sponsored a bill in the early 90s which would have prohibited sale and possession of sex toys. The bill was laughed down. One of the sponsors, elected with the sponsorship of a collision-for-profit family, has since left office and is now head of the Chattanooga Republican Party.

Are illegal in some states. "Any position wherein the husband and wife cannot look directly into each other's eyes" is illegal in Indiana. I am so glad to be back in the SF Bay Area.

I just googled the actual bill that was passed. There is NO stipulation about weight... so yes, it IS illegal to do your dog if it's not a large breed and illegal to fondle your kitty cat, goose, or goat. I wish this article linked to ACTUAL BILLS from various state websites... not little websites where we can't check the authenticity.

Here's a link to Bakersfield Municipal Code which is searchable. I searched 'satan' and 'condom' separately and got nothing on either one.

Law 3's commentary:
3. In Minnesota, it's illegal for any slime bucket to hook up with a live fish. Don't worry disinterested wives, a cold fish is still A-OK!

By stating that disinterested, unreceptive wives are allowed to be used as a sex partner, instead of being funny, you're promoting rape within marriage and perpetuating the rape culture.

I really expected better from Alternet.

Last night Jay Leno dropped an offhand comment about something that had happened in Maryland so I googled it. Voila, a couple that wanted to try something new attached a sex toy to a chainsaw and turned on the chainsaw, which promptly sawed through the plastic sex toy, and the couple ended up in the Emergency Room. That must have made for an unusual triage interview when the doctor said, "Hmmm. And how did this happen?".

I live in Washington and I effed my dog when he was 39 pounds. He recently gained some weight and is now 41 lbs. Can I still get in trouble for this? Should I put him on a diet to be sure? I think there should be some sort of grandfather clause whereas if you start effing your dog before it hits 40 lbs. you should be able to keep effing it for life. Speaking of which, is it illegal to bang your grandfather?

(Wouldn't it be embarrassing if this was posted to the wrong thread?)

Cute article, but no no should take it seriously. Click the links on these and try to work your way back to a what researchers call a primary source -- the actual text of a statute. Instead you'll find yourself linked to some other, similar cute article. Which, if it has links, will connect you to yet another cute article. Quite a few are likely urban legends. Others are tendentious readings of genuine laws. This the case with most checklists of weird and/or archaic laws.

The Alabama law is as described. I doubt many of the others are.

even in Bakersfield. Who's gonna go to his home to deliver the court summons, anyway? Besides, he would just end up embarassing the prosecution--he's in charge of most of the living lawyers and all of the dead ones.

That lady might be married and take you to her home to get laid and half your face could end up on the floor from a gun. That's bible belt country, family values held high. No place for "Sancho" or guys young and dumb...

to describe their mares. Each culture seems to have a slightly different judgement of realilty. Parochialism doesn't seem to have bounds.

There are Mexican men in jail in Texas for sexual behavior that was never illegal in Mexico. They are in jail and kinda never knew what hit them. They actually didn't know it was illegal. I am talking life imprisonment.

#1 is great advice, things can burn like gonnohrea if you're not careful. This is a really great top ten list, anyone can post their own to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.

But I'm offended by #6. Talk about an invasion of privacy. Adult Toys for everyone!!
