Wackiest laws on the books!

The Wackiest Laws On The Books!

Did you know that in New Hampshire it is illegal to tap your feet, nod your head, or keep time to the music in a tavern, restaurant, or café?  Or that state law in Colorado allows people to rip the tags off pillows and mattresses, despite dire warnings not to do so. 

And in Alaska, while it's legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purposes of taking a photograph is prohibited. 

The dumb laws web site, found at www.dumblaws.com offers an entertaining selection of silly laws on the books in the U.S. and foreign countries.  Compiled by Andy Powell and Jeff Koon, the site offers a sidesplitting look at laws that are outdated...or simply incredibly stupid. Other examples include...

In Fairbanks, Alaska, it is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.  Sterling, Colorado has a law on the books that states that cats may not run loose at night without being fit with a taillight.

Making a tail light for a cat is one thing getting them to wear it is in a whole new league.
