Wacka Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 In some town in CA (now pay attention here BiB), detonating a nuclear weapon within the town lines is illegal and punishable by up to a $500 fine - but no jail time. Apparently, it's only a misdemeanor. 505426[/snapback] Probably Berkeley. They have signs at the city line saying "nuclear free zone" with the radiation symbol with the no sign over it. This is the city that is the birthplace of the cyclotron and still has one at Cal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of BiB Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 In Oklahoma, it is illegal to give liquor to a fish. In some town in CA (now pay attention here BiB), detonating a nuclear weapon within the town lines is illegal and punishable by up to a $500 fine - but no jail time. Apparently, it's only a misdemeanor. A good many towns scattered throughout the country have weird statutes like "It is illegal to eat an ice cream cone on Sunday while walking backward in front of the town hall" or "it is illegal to eat peanuts while walking backwards when the circus is in town". It kind of scares me to think of what sorts of situations prompted the establishment of those laws. 505426[/snapback] Whew. THAT'S a relief. Now if Iowa could have only been so progressive.

BB27 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 There is an old law on the books in Boston: Illegal to have a goatee without a permit issued by the city clerk. Not a goat, a goatee((wasn't exactly sure how to spell it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
