Here you will  find some really interesting facts about the strange laws...

In no condition to drive?
In Athens, Greece, a driver's license can be lifted by the law if the driver is deemed either 'poorly dressed' or 'unbathed'.

Put your needles down.
On the island of Jersey it's against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season.

Why there's no quiffs in the deep south?
In Alabama it is illegal to carry a comb in your pocket, because it may be used as a weapon. This comes after a 13 year old boy was killed when he was stabbed with a comb.

Who would argue?
In Michigan, it is illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant. Shouldn't be too hard to enforce this one.
It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma.

There's a moose loose...
In Fairbanks, Alaska it is illegal for a moose to walk on the side walk. This dates back to the early days if the town when the owner of the bar had a pet moose that he used to get drunk. The moose would then stumble around the town drunk. The only way the law makers could prevent this from happining was to create the law so the moose could not cross the sidewalk and get into the bar.

The butter lobby.
In Quebec, Canada, an old law states that margarine must be a different colour from butter. This law is the result of Quebec dairy lobbyists' pressure to ''protect'' their dairy business. They claimed margarine was beginning to resemble butter, as to be mistaken for real butter. Make margarine unattractive, and consumers would stick to butter. The Quebec government caved in, and tried to impose a dark vermilion-coloured margarine, which was disgusting. The colour, finally, at the other extreme, is a pallid almost-white-colourless margarine.

Now that's compassionate
According to a british law passed in 1845, attempting to commit suicide was a capital offense. Offenders could be hanged for trying.

Phone home... Non!
It is illegal to sell an ET doll in France. They have a law forbidding the sale of dolls that do not have human faces.

Just in case you were thinking about it.
Salt Lake City, Utah, has a law against carrying an unwrapped ukulele on the street.
