Laws are set in place to maintain order and safety, but once in a while, you’ll come across a random law that makes you wonder: who would ever think of that? Or, why is that so specific?

Well, someone probably tried it first. That, or, lawmakers have a very vivid imagination. People try new and weirder things everyday that make you question the sanity of the human species.

So, remember, if you ever find yourself in an “extreme life threatening conditions” where cannibalism is seen as the “only apparent means of survival,” it is technically legal in the state according to Idaho Code 18-5003.

Here is a few laws you should probably be aware of if you’re thinking of venturing outside of Idaho:

1. Have you ever thought about using an X-Ray machine to measure your shoe size? Well, probably not, but the Nevada legislature has and it’s illegal.

2. Pets are fun, unless you are living in Prince William County, Virginia and you want a skunk. Then you should probably pack your bags and move to Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, or Indiana where your little Mephitidae friends are allowed if you have a permit.

3. Even though the legitimacy of Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, is still questioned, Whatcom County and Skamania County in Washington both have Sasquatch Refuge areas where “if such creature exists, it is inadequately protected and in danger of death and injury.” (Whatcom County Resolution No. 92-043)

4. Selling any kind of butter or cheese in Wisconsin is taken very seriously. So it better be considered “highly pleasing” or the seller is breaking the law.

Now, here are a few laws that were either overturned or I could not find the specific legislation for, but have been reported by several websites:

1. Allegedly, it is illegal to get drunk in a bar in Alaska.

2. In order to bring more publicity to the city, Gainesville, Georgia added a city code that prohibits people from eating fried chicken with cutlery. The 91-year-old tourist from Louisiana who was detained in 2009 was pardoned and had all her charges dismissed shortly after the arrest.

3. In Vermont, it is reportedly illegal to whistle underwater.

4. According to Chicago Elevated and some other news outlets, you may not fish in your pajamas, eat at a place that is on fire, or take your poodle to the opera in Chicago, Illinois.

5. And last but not least, an Indianapolis law presumably states that no one may enter a theater within three hours of eating garlic.
