post stupid laws that you know about in the states (and don't put Arizona Immigration Laws because that's a given) 
For Example: 
in Alabama...
 Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death.

Here's one from Minnesota:
 It shall be the duty of any policeman or any other officer to enforce the provisions of this Section, and if any cat is found running at large, or which is found in any street, alley or public place, it shall be the duty of any policeman or other officer of the city to kill such cat.

Two very old laws in PR: 
 
Flying kites at the Morro was illegal and you could go to jail.
Men could not wear beards. Anyone with a beard was subject to arrest. 
 
These were when PR was ruled by the military...  

I heard you couldn't eat Ice-cream on a Sunday somewhere near Florida. I don't know if is true.

back in the 70's and 80's there was a law called "THE UGLY LAW". i don't remember what the correct term for it was, but basically if you go around public and look ugly as hell, you will get arrested.

are you kidding me? that is one stupid a$$ law that needs to get revamped 
 
here in Canada, it's up to the Police and the Crown whether you get charged for a crime rather than so called VICTIMS and even if you commit a murder which is the highest form of crime that you can commit you only get life in prison which means you are out of prison in pretty much 15 years or less, get the irony? there is no life sentences here no matter high the degree of the crime that you commit

In Detroit it is illegal to tie your Alligator to a Fire Hydrant. 
 
Thats a real law.   Here is more dumb michigan laws.  (Yes I live in Michigan. I came across this a while back.)
 
The last Sunday in June of every year was named log cabin day.     
 
No man may seduce and corrupt an unmarried girl, or else he risks five years in prison. 
 
Cars may not be sold on Sunday. 
 
A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission. 
 
Any person over the age of 12 may have a license for a handgun as long as he/she has not been convicted of a felony.

its illegal to sell sex WITHOUT a license to sell it. thats why "professional escorting" is legal. nevada has more professional escorters, but the street prostitutes still get arrested.

the difference between a professional escorter and prostitute is that a prostitute is controlled by a pimp who handles the escorting and money. pro escorters  are basically women who are licensed to do it legally with no pimp. she is the master of her own game.

Is all swearing blasphemy or is blasphemy some thing that'd be insulting to god or questioning the existance of god?
If that is a real law I'm embarressed to be Irish.

@Kastiel:
yup, the our life in prison is capped at 25 yrs only and most of them are out in 15 yrs with adjusted behaviours, the judicial system in Canada is way too light which is the one of the reason why so many immigrants come here for better and good, i've been to maximum prisons and the funny thing is almost half of them have illegally entered to Canada from the states, now i'm not speaking for all the prisons but just the one that i've visited

We shouldn't have to accept it though.
A lawa gainst blasphemy in 2010 just seems ridiculous to me.
What if some one practices a different religion than the norm? Or just flat out doesn't believe?

I mean seriously. How far will that kindof thing go?
Will use of contraception be made illegal?
Breakin' commandments?
When laws become based on religion they's too much room for interpretation. It''s very dnagerous ground.
Did any one try to protest the no blasphemy law?

@hdorman1: The Taliban isn't a credible religious sect. It's an organization of murderers and drug lords who bend the teachings of Islam to fit their needs. A good example is poppy farming. The teachings of Islam, from what I've heard, forbid the growing and use of mind-altering substances. Almost all of the Taliban's funding comes from, and has always come from, poppy farmers involved in the heroin trade. The Taliban doesn't even count as a group of religious extremists, in my mind. They just use whatever twisted beliefs they hold to validate their actions.
 
I heard about someone who got 3 months in prison for stealing a bag of lay's out of the back of a delivery truck. Kind of ridiculous imo.

Pennsylvania - where I live
 
 Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue.  
 
 You may not sing in the bathtub.  
 
 Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes.  
 
 All fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires.  
 
 No one is allowed to sleep on a refrigerator
