#3 is not entirely true. the swastica when displayed the opposite way as the nazi symbol is a sign of good luck. it faces towards the rising sun which is good, while the nazi one faces the other way towards night which means bad evil. and if you look at the millitary base in san diego(not  MCRD but the one that has its own little peninsula.)  there are buildings that are arranged in the shape of a swastika.

It is also illegal to shoot an elephant from the back of a train.


Do you realize that someone has to actually do this crap before it becomes a law?

Heheh, I found it on google earth.  I would have snapped a screen shot but I don't know how some people would feel about that.

I wonder at what point the architects noticed it...  or if they simply planned it. lol.

Got some...

In Boston, it is illegal for a bird to fly over a church on Sunday.

In Oregon, it is illegal to kill a whale from your car.  

In Florida, if a girl is inside your house and is not married to you, she can be arrested for prositution.

Supposedly, that is where a well known cliche came from.  But it is true.  People were out shooting birds to enforce this law.  Lol.  I know, makes absolutely no sense... but it IS true!

Thought maybe the laws of not discharging a gun within 1/4 mile (440yrds) of an occupied structure would prevent that, maybe just in AZ.

In Texas it is illegal to have wire cutters on your person, also if 2 trains meet on a single track one cannot move until the other has.
In Alabama it is illegal to play dominoes on Sunday.
