I have this book, it's called Uncle John's Ahh-Inspiring Bathroom Reader, for obvious reasons, but in it is this page of weird laws in Canada, aka, The Great White North. So, without further ado, I give you: Canadian Trivia.
Law #1: In Canada, it's illegal to jump from an airplane without a parachute.
Law #2: In Quebec, margarine must be a different color than butter.
Law #3: An anti-noise ordinance in Ottawa makes it illegal for bees to buzz.
Law #4. In Vancouver, BC, it is illegal to ride a tricycle over 10 mph.
Law #5: It is illegal to kill a Sasquatch in British Columbia.
Well those are just a few examples. But since I have my book out, I guess I could write about a few American laws, too.
Law #1: Tightrope walking is illegal in Winchester, Massachusetts, unless you are in church.
Law #2: It's illegal in Oak Park, Illinois, to bake over 100 doughnuts in one day.
Law #3: It's illegal in South Dakota to fall asleep in a cheese factory. : 0)
Law #4: In Idaho, it's against the law to fish for trout while sitting on the back of a giraffe.
Law #5: It's against the law to peel an orange in your hotel room in California.
And the weirdest in the book: It's against the law to feed margarine instead of real butter to a prisoner in Wisconsin.
Cheese Face out.

Here's one I found on http://djtech.net/humor/useless_facts.htm: In 1912 a law passed in Nebraska where drivers in the country at night were required to stop every 150 yards, send up a skyrocket, wait eight minutes for the road to clear before proceeding cautiously, all the while blowing their horn and shooting off flares.
