In Baltimore, Maryland, it is illegal to take a lion to the movies.
There goes dinner and a movie…so much for a romantic night out with my lion friend. I think a problem would arise long before the lion even got the movie theater.

In Zion, Illinois, it is illegal to give cats, dogs or other domesticated animals a lighted cigar.
This law is just ridiculous, my cat wouldn’t last a week without his nightly cigar and without thumbs of course I have to light it for him! Some people just don’t think these laws through.

In Colorado, it is illegal to use rain barrels or other methods of collecting rain water. They deem that it has already been allocated to the state and the individual does not have a right to it.
Now as far as I can tell that rain really looks like it is falling on my property. Whatever happened to finders keepers anyway? Methods of enforcement would also be problematic…no officer I got that water from my tap I swear!

In Ohio, it is illegal to fish for Whales on Sundays
Two things I want to know about this law, 1) what are they using as bait and 2) how do they reel it in? I want to meet the man who can reel in a whale and then try and tell him he can’t do it on Sunday.
