In Cleveland, Ohio it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license.

In Sweden there is a ski-thru McDonalds.

Pinocchio is Italian for "pine head."

Since 1313, it is illegal for an MP to enter the House of Commons wearing a full suit of armour.

Alaska law says that you can't look at a moose from an airplane.

Isn't it too weird?lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  10 months ago

Can't look at one? I can hear the pilot now "Welcome passengers, we're expecting find flying weather and on time arrival; however, there is a herd of moose on the North side of the runway. Please put on your complimentary blindfolds because the cameras in the plane will catch any violators to our law #1378. We were informed at take off that local law enforcement will be waiting at our arrival terminal for anyone that breaks this law"

Weird law indeed!

LOL those are really weird stuffs.^__^;; how would a cockroach live after its head is cut off?? wouldn't that make them bleed to death after a few hours???

anyway, are those really true? because its really weird. LOL why would anyone need a license just to catch a pest like mice?? and why would they make legal the shooting of Scottsman with a bow and arrow?? weird.^__^;;


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  10 months ago

I hope they are. I found them on the web at a weird law/facts site. I just have to shake my head at some of these....it's like, what were they drinking when they drew these up??


myLot reputation of 95/100. idowrite72 (878)  4 months ago

do cockroaches have blood?


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4956)   ranked 348 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  4 months ago

well, i think its not really blood. not the red blood we have. their "blood" must be a sticky fluid, icky green fluid. ew. lol

Okay, now the first one is just plain gross. The second one, well I am just glad it is not like that in California. The third one would be cool if I knew how to ski. I like the fourth one, the mystery has finally been taken out of that weird name.
I do not know what an MP is, but that is okay, I probably don't need to know. Okay now, the last one is by far the weirdest one. Why would anyone want to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow? And why is it considered legal. Do you get an explanation for any of these?


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  10 months ago

No, there wasn't an explanation on these facts. Just did the basic search and found them. I can imagin that these are old laws that were never revised or eliminated. Kind of scary if you think about it.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Rozie37 (6394)   ranked 108 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  10 months ago

Yes, that last one was kind of scary.

I am familiar with that 'roach thing and Pinocchio, since I've heard or read about it somewhere else(?).=)

The one's that intrigued me were those that came next to it, I never knew that you need a license to catch mice in the US!LoL I've been a former employee of McDonald's, I guess I have to sue my employer for not sharing that fact to me (us)!LoL I'm not sure why armour's where prohibited on entering the House of Commons, but I guess it has something to do with the House's security.

Now for the last one, I think that it is horrid and I am in awe. I guess people need to rest on sundays, lucky those who were not shot down!=)

Anyways, thanks for sharing valid informations and may you have a prosperous New Year..


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  10 months ago

I find these interesting and comical. I've researched old laws before and it amazes me that they are still in effect, not practiced, but still out there.

It still amazes me that they are still listed, you'd think that they would have been updated (with the turn of the century) or phased out....?

Hello Ljegbers,
Those facts are wierd for sure. I think I could go for the ski-thru McDonalds, just another way to get my Mcdonalds he he. I would hope some of these laws will be updated for the sake of common sense. The fact about the cockroach is extremely scary and; I would say that Pinocchio the character in the story earned his name.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  10 months ago

I agree that you'd THINK these laws would be updated out of common sense, but guess not. I just like to look these up and see how far back these go back and scratch my head why are these still in effect.

I knew a little more than half of those. Some I just remember from memory. Other ones did raise an eyebrow Lj.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  4 months ago

Funny how some laws are never updated, then again, funny how they ever became laws to begin with.??

interesting people and interesting things.
so it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.
can't use stone or other tool.
do york people hate Scotsman? hate them so much that they want to shootScotsman?


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  4 months ago

I'm sure this is a very old law that was never removed. Sometimes laws are created years and years ago and never updated. No, this isn't leagl to do in today's world. Kind of makes me wonder when this law was made.

Just to go through Mcdonalds. LOL


myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 28 out of 932 in sharing of knowledge  4 months ago

The whole concept of that just strikes me funny. What happens if you CAN'T STOP?

I can live with this one, because I do not catch them I kill them.
