Good stuff. :)
The best part is that all of those laws, were likely intruduced because of some precedent issue...The mind boggles.
 
Ja, apparantly young people (u18) cannot sit close that 20 cm if they are wearing bathing cosyumes/swimwear, if I remember correctly
 
A lot of these state laws are very old, and were possibly more applicable 100 years ago than they are today.

That doesn't change the fact that they are quite ridiculous! They really need to clean some of those up.

Most of these are just interpreted to sound stupid

"It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane."
The law probably forbids you to push any animal out of a moving airplane, or any vehicle that can harm an animal. Which makes perfect sense.
So technically its true.

All rubbish. Don't people check stuff before repeating it? :/

Also, what Jabberwocky said. These are just rephrasings of laws to make them sound "funny". A woman can't read her husband's mail in Montana? Actually, it's a federal offence to open anyone else's mail pretty much anywhere in the States, regardless of your sex.
