So, last night I went to my first Timothy cIass(thanks to darthzew for the hint on using cIass)... and it was cool. :) We talked about grace, and how not many people know what grace really is.
Oh! And my youth pastor is on iTunes! Type in Brett Owen and check him out!
Anyways, here's more weird laws...

It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun. (awww no fair!) The penalty for jumping off a building is death. (well, DUH!) While riding in an elevator, one must talk to no one, and fold his hands while looking toward the door.
In North Carolina
It's against the law to sing off key. If a man and a woman who aren't married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married. Organizations may not hold their meetings while the members present are in costume.
In North Dakota

It is illegal to have the hind legs of farm animals in your boots. Tissues are not to be found in the back of one's car. (hmmm did mythbuster's have something to do with this?)

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone. It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing. A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed. The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home. Homosexual behavior is a misdemeanor offense.
Tell me what you think of these laws!
