Crazy Laws

Following in the vein of the PostSecret blog, I found some crazy laws that might be of interest to you. Some of these were obviously written hundreds of years ago, due to the nature of them. Some of them really make you wonder how stupid people really are. I mean, must there be a law for everything? Here are my favorites:
