Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath at least once a year. 4. In the state of Queensland, Australia, it is still constitutional law that all pubs (hotel/bar) must have a railing outside for patrons to tie up their horse. ( holy shit i didnt know this one and come to think of it except for in the city thats true). 5. Chewing gum is outlawed in Singapore because it is a means of "tainting an environment free of dirt."

In Saudi Arabia, a woman reportedly may divorce her husband if he does not keep her supplied with coffee. 7. In Somalia, Africa, it's been decreed illegal to carry old chewing gum stuck on the tip of your nose. 8. It was once against the law to slam your car door in a city in Switzerland. 9. Hypnotism is banned by public schools in San Diego. 10. In Michigan it's illegal to place a skunk inside your bosses desk. 11. In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket. 12.

In December 1997, the state of Nevada (USA) became the first state to pass legislation categorizing Y2K data disasters as "acts of God"— protecting the state from lawsuits that may potentially be brought against it by residents in the year 2000.
