"The world's strangest laws" - The TimesOnline
Maybe you have them already. I read them only today.
These ones are my favourites (said with sarcasm):

"9. In Florida, unmarried women who parachute on Sundays can be jailed.
...
6. In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow."

The link, http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article2251280.ece
Enjoy if you haven't read it yet!

2. #14 rocks!
14. In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.

Do they really mean circumcision?
