did you know that the penalty for jumping off of a building in New York City is death?
did you know that it is illegal to mutilate a rock in any Colorado state park?
did you know that you could be fined for not owning a boat in Hawaii?
did you know that in Wisconsin: when 7 or more indians gather together, they are considered a tribal or war band, and may LEGALLY be shot.

what are some akward laws that you've seen/heard of?

if you haven't heard any weird laws, then whats something weird/akward ther YOU YOURSELF has seen?

And I think the penalty for jumping off a building anywhere would be death, or at least some degree of injury.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

In england, you can be hung for chopping down a certain type of tree without the Queen's permission.

i think it is either FL or GA that has a law prohibiting consentual -blam!-, even within the confines of your residence. jesus christ, man. can't a guy sodomize (consentual is the key, of course) his wife/gf/husband/bf in peace?!?

Apparently it's illegal to throw a ball at someone's head for fun in the state of New York.
