When surfing 4 funny signs to post in PMM's topic, I stumbled upon this cool info about the most bizarre laws of the world.

Here's a few that caught my attention:

Yellow margarine is illegal in Missouri, US
Did you know that if you buy yellow margarine in Missouri you're committing a crime? A 19th century state law banned the sale of yellow margarine, though "it's been years since any violator was ordered to spread them." Most of Missouri's restrictions on imitation butter date to 1895, and they were last amended in 1939. Although the state no longer enforces them, the penalties could still make dealers in contraband dairy product toast: up to a month in jail and a $100 fine for first-time offenders and six months in jail and a $500 fine for repeat offenders.

It's illegal to sell sex toys in the state of Alabama, US
In Alabama, the justice is not only blind but sexually frustrated. Alabama's anti-obscenity law, enacted in 1998, bans the distribution of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for anything of pecuniary value." The law does not ban the possession of sex toys; residents may legally purchase sex toys out of state for use in Alabama. Be aware, five minutes of pleasure can cost you a lot, since the law has strong penalties: Up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine for a first offense. A second offense carries a prison sentence of one to 10 years.

In the Netherlands, you are allowed to smoke cannabis but not tobacco (in public places)

The bizarre Dutch policy of allowing smokers to puff away on pure cannabis but not tobacco has perplexed police in the Netherlands, who have fined a man for mixing the two substances. Zero tolerance to tobacco smoking in Dutch cafes and restaurants is being exercised since a ban came into force in 2008. The man was not fined for smoking a cannabis joint but for smoking. You can smoke cannabis but not tobacco in coffee shops. The unnamed 27-year-old man was caught lighting a hand rolled cannabis joint during a routine police check, and fined because officers found tobacco mixed with the soft drug.

The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen
The Royal Prerogative 1324 decrees that any whale or sturgeon found on the British coast belongs to the monarch. The law is very much still in place, as fisherman Robert Davies found out in 2004 when he was investigated by police in Plymouth. He had faxed the Royal Household to tell them he had caught a sturgeon, and was told to keep it, but did not realize it was still illegal to try and sell it.

Now let's just see what the rest of u out there can come up with.

I found some good British ones:

It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants.

This one was actually highlighted in a news article on the TV recently.  So ladies if you are pregnant and visit UK, you can "go" wherever you want.

And my favourite:

In France it is forbidden to call a pig Napoleon!

Unbelievable - especially the "ugly face at a dog" one. 

I found a few more:

In Vermont women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.

And in the UK any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked manequin

On the island of Jersey it's against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season!
Does any man know how to knit?
