The dumb laws site is great. There are two that immediately stick out in my mind, but it's been awhile since I've visited the site so I don't remember where these dumb laws actually exist.

There is a city in which it is illegal to fart, on thursdays, after six pm.

And there is a city in which the detonation of a nuclear device brings about a $500 fine.

Oh, and I break Maryland state law two or three times a week. stupid puritans...
