How about imminent domain? The goevrnment can take a persons property to sell it to a developer to build higher income buildings to increase tax revenues to the government. Unbelievable!

Since I live in Texas, I went to a site and pulled off the ridiculous or wacky laws:
Abilene - a city ordinance states that "it is illegal to idle or loiter within the corporate limits of the city for the purpose of flirting or mashing."
Commerce - it is illegal to climb a telephone pole unless you are payed to do so.
Corpus Christi - it is against the law to raise alligators in your home.
Galveston - it is illegal for camels to wander around freely.
Plano - it is against the law to sale foam alligators at parades.
I'm originally from California and there are TOOOOO many wacky laws there to list here! Go to the site and check out your home state! Pretty funny!
Take care!

In South Dakota (I believe) a group of three Native Americans traveling together can be considered a war party and may be fired upon.
