So I was just randomly musing about silly or ridiculous rules or laws that exist (like you do!) and wondered what the most ridiculous rules are that you've ever heard of?
For example did you know that it's illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament?
And in Ohio it's illegal to get a fish d*unk?
I've just got these off t'internet as no other ridiculous rules come immediately to mind (  ) but can you think of any other silly or just plain petty rules that you've come across to bring a wry smile to our faces?  |

Considering two hours of long bow practice every day is still mandatory for all English men this one might still not have been repealed. |

It was both, but later laws made killing in general illegal, so we can't take potshots against our Celtic brethren any more. |

From what I have been told of this law if you kill them it's legal, if they survive you can be done for attempted murder |

According to French law, any theft that do not include any element of violence, the maximum prison term is only three years, with possible parole after 18 months.
Toni Musulin, who used to work for Bricks, has stolen 11.6 million euros from the Banque de France while on duty.
On 5 November 2009 he stole the armored van he was driving.
On November 7, the police were tipped off by witnesses and searched a garage in which they found most of the stolen cash: 9.1 million euros. The remaining 2.5 million however could not be found.
He turned himself in after few months, he went to Jail for 3 years.
No one knows what happened to 2.5 million missing.
Would yo do 3 years in jail if 2.5 million are waiting for you after ? |

"If someone did die In the Houses of Parliament I'd be curious to know the prosecution procedures involved the deceased "
I believe, and I could be wrong, that if a person dies in the houses of parliament, they cannot be pronounced dead until they are off the premises. This could be utter bullshit.. |

How do you think your time in prison (and after you get out) will be with every organised crime member in there knowing youve got 2.5 million hidden away? |
