I can't remember where, but in a certain city in the US it is illegal to jump off a skyscraper. The penalty is death.
--- End quote ---
You do, of course, realize that jumping off a scyscraper while wearing a parachute is also jumping off a scyscraper? No idea why people want to do that, but some do.
slave:
But why is the penalty death? Even murderers don't usually get the death penalty (except in Texas)

quote:Check out some of the dumb laws on the books in Louisiana (where I live)
Some of my favorite:
It is illegal to shoot lasers at police officers.
--- End quote ---
That isn't a dumb law at all. You need to keep in mind that there are laser gunsights. Shining a laser pointer at a cop could get you killed, as the officer wouldn't have any way to know that he wasn't being targeted from a laser gunsight.
