Bizazrre Laws

Came across this excerpt in yesterday's MX, which lists some of the most bizarre laws around the world.

1. In the UK, people are prohibited to from dying whilst in the Houses of Parliament. (So what, you expect someone in the throes of death to have the capacity to quietly excuse himself just so he can die outside and not disturb the session?)
2. In the US state of Ohio, it is illegal to get a fish drunk. (Is that even possible...)
3. Only a clerk in a tropical fish store has permission to be topless in Liverpool.
4. In UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet. (Oh, so a non-pregnant woman can't? And why the precise mention of a policeman's helmet of all places.)
5. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation. (Hmm. The dilemma they face. Self pleasure, or getting their heads chopped off.)
6. A male doctor in Bahrain can examine the genitals of a woman only in the reflection of the mirror.
7. In Switzerland, a man may not relieve himself standing up after 10pm.
8. It is illegal to be blindfolded while driving in Alabama. (Need that be said?)
   
9. In Florida, unwed women who parachute on a Sunday risk jail. (Haha. This is just plain funny.)
10. Women in Vermont must obtain permission from their husbands to have false teeth.
11. In Milan, you must smile except at funerals or hospital visits.
12. Japan has no age of consent. (Explains the adult industry's fascination with Japanese schoolgirls)
13. In France, it is illegal to name a pig Napolean.

Cracked me up. I have no idea how lawmakers could be so silly to even contemplate drafting and passing such absurd laws. Some of these are just plain logical-no-need-to-be-said type of laws, whilst others border on the comical and nonsensical. And to think an entire parliament has to waste time to debate and vote on whether to pass these laws.
