The BBC have published a list of ludicrous laws here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7081038.stm which I casually perused today. My two personal favourites from the top ten are;
In third place, with 6%, a law stating that It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store…
In tenth, It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (2%).
Internationally I was tickled by the notion that In Florida, it is a jailable offence for unmarried women who parachute on a Sunday (6%).
