Law Outside the Box

• Although this would seem like a highly unorthodox way to generate business, in Boston Massachusetts, it is against the law to hang a vending machine on a utility pole.
• In Alabama, apparently unless you’re a sadomasochist, it is illegal to stab yourself to gain someone’s pity.
• If you are ever travelling through Wyoming, just remember that you may not take a picture of a rabbit during the month of June.
• If you own a house in Michigan, remember the law does allow a robber to file a lawsuit, if he or she got hurt in your house.  It would seem to me that this could incentivize certain robbers to attempt a robbery and use that as an opportunity to file a lawsuit.
• In Idaho Falls, Idaho, if you’re 88 years of age or older, it’s illegal for you to ride your motorcycle.  87 and under, you’re OK!
• The use of the names of dead presidents to sell alcohol in Michigan is prohibited.  Apparently however, you can market and sell Bill Clinton Brand Whiskey or Jimmy Carter’s Fine Rum and get away with it.
• The law states that in Indiana the value of Pi is 4, and not 3.1415.  Why Pi is rounded up and not down, nobody knows.
• In Illinois, it is illegal to speak English.  The officially recognized language is “American”.
• In Florida, having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.  What?  How can that be?
• It is illegal to mistreat rats in Denver.
