Note: In the spirit of every "weird laws" post ever, let's stipulate that many of these are unenforced / impossible to verify. Each has been fact-checked within reason but nobody has done anything crazy like make a phone call or go to a library. This post is not intended as actual legal advice. (And for the record: If you are getting legal advice from BuzzFeed posts... well, we wish you all the best!)
