One thing I find very interesting is all the antiquated laws that are still on the books. Often I wonder why there isn't somebody that periodically goes through and recommends an update of our laws.
For instance, in Oklahoma, did you know that it is against the law to wrestle a bear, duel, trip a horse, eavesdrop with intention to do harm, use obscene language in front of women ,and children under the age of 10, purchase a dead body (now that one is really wild) and too many others to list.
We Okies are not alone though as lots of other states have similar outdated laws. In Washington, it is against the law for a salesperson to X-ray a foot and another one is if a motorist enters town with criminal intentions, they must call the police chief as they enter town.
North Caroline allows lawsuits if one spouse is lured away from another person. It is called allienation of affection.
Wyoming does not allow you to shoot a fish. Now that bothers me, sometimes that might be the only way to get one if they won't bite my hook.
It might be interesting just to know about the different states and what they allow or don't allow. I should say enforce or don't enforce.
Hey at least I am not on the Pluto bandwagon today, hehe

I've always felt states should have a limit of 100 laws. Thereby forced to keep them updated and give thought to what exactly should be illegal. We've got alot of people filling up jails for non violent non hurtful crimes.
Oh boy, have I got some for ya... In Oklahoma:
Females are forbidden from doing their own hair without being licensed by the state.
Dogs must have a permit signed by the mayor in order to congregate in groups of three or more on private property.
Oklahoma will not tolerate anyone taking a bite out of another's hamburger.
People who make "ugly faces" at dogs may be fined and/or jailed.
