nate_1979 9 #4 October 11, 2005 Few from my home state, South Dakota.... It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory. Movies that show police officers being struck, beaten, or treated in an offensive manner are forbidden. 10-year prison term for "copulation by means of mouth." There's an odd law governing beds in all Sioux Falls, South Dakota, hotels. Every room is required to have twin beds. And these twin beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make love on the floor between the beds. Prostitutes in South Dakota are still prohibited from plying their trade out of a covered wagon. If there are more than 5 Native Americans on your property you may shoot them. In Spearfish, South Dakota If three or more Indians are walking down the street together, they can be considered a war party and fired upon. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bert_man 0 #11 October 11, 2005 Quotehow do we know these are actual laws on the books & not just more EBS from the Internet? Because it is considered an offense in all 50 states to spread phony dumb laws over the internet unless the author is using a laptop while standing naked in a cold shower. Furthermore, as hobbes mentioned, it is considered an offense in florida to shower naked, with or without a laptop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #14 October 12, 2005 QuoteTexas: A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed. Hmmm...Didn't see that one in the Texas Penal Code, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the Texas Traffic Code, the Health and Safety Code or any of the other handful of Codes I've studied thus far. So obviously, since its only listed on the internet and not in the law books, it must be true.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
