Britain has had an established government for much longer than the U.S. As a result, they have their fair share of odd laws. Here are some of them:
In London, Hackney taxis must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats.
It is illegal to be drunk in a pub or club, or any other licensed premises.
Oddly, it is illegal to consume a mince pie on Christmas Day.
In Hereford, you may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close.
However, in Chester you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.
Also in York, excluding Sundays, it is apparently legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.
In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless in public unless they are a clerk in a tropical fish store.
It is illegal for a Member of Parliament to enter the House of Commons wearing a full coat of armour.
Sleeping with a consort of the queen is classified as treason, and as such carries a maximum penalty of death.
Placing a postage stamp of the queen upside down, is also considered treason.
It is unlawful to impersonate an Chelsea pensioner.
It is illegal to sell most goods on a Sunday. It is however legal to sell a carrot. It is also legal to sell it at any price, and to give free gifts with it, such as anything else one might want to buy on a Sunday.
The following are legal though:
a male may urinate in public, so long as it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle, and his right hand is on the vehicle.
all English males over the age of 14 are to carry out approximately two hours of longbow practice a week, supervised by the local clergy.

You need to be a little more subtle when you post a phony, absurd idea like this one! Anyone capable of turning on their computer and navigating the Internet wouldn't be naive enough to fall for this.
Not even legislatures in the home state of George W. Bush would be so stupid and incompetent as to pass a law as absurd and useless as this one! How would any governing body be so ignorant as to pass a law that would only serve to make themselves look like bungling incompetents and hold themselves up to ridicule?
Nice try, but nobody's that stupid!

it was added to increase the charges at the time of arrest. This automatically pins-on an additional charge for a larger sentence for minor offenses.

Its a way for the Texas justice system to tack on more jail time - no criminal is going to do this - most of them probably don't even know about it... if this is really true.
