"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Breakin' The Law, Breakin' The Law

The Guardian has a cool article about two British students who are planning an 8-week trip across America in which they plan to break some of our dumbest laws. Their crime-spree itenerary includes:

  • Riding a bike in a swimming pool (California)
  • Hiring a boat to go whale hunting (Utah)
  • Taking a nap in a cheese factory (South Dakota)

If they come to Washington state they should have plenty of stupid laws to choose from including:

  • Having a lollipop
  • Buying a mattress or meat on Sunday
  • Pretending their parents are rich
  • Catching a cold and then walking around in public

You can find the dumb laws for your state at: DumbLaws.com. Oh, and if you think these are all just silly old laws that have been on the books forever, don't forget Virginia's recent attempt to ban droopy-pants.
