No it is legal, but it's also legal for an Englishman to shoot them with a longbow in aforementioned town centre.

Something similiar, from where I grew up, South Dakota:

"If there are more than 5 Native Americans on your property you may shoot them."

Or if you are in the town of Spearfish:

"If three or more Indians are walking down the street together, they can be considered a war party and fired upon."


And this is a good one:

"No horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants."


I'm not exactly sure where Fountain Inn is...

What's so strange about that?
Sounds reasonable to me.

While not as extreme as the ancient Israelite punishment for adultery (stoning), Greek men still had their fair share of discomfort when their pubic hair was removed and a large radish was shoved up their rectum.

For an ancient greek, that hardly seems a punishment

I mean, do you have to do it by Barebowshooting, or are you allowed to use modern Archery Equipment like Stabilizers, Clicker and modern Sights on your Longbow to shoot him?

I imagine when the law was written, they didn't realise that such a matter would ever arise. I guess any equipment you like then


Andy, have you seen the size of Greek radishes

[Heresson]

I haven't. In cm, please.

Sodomy laws are strange to me -- when they were legally recognized as laws.

But now, they are unconstitutional in United States.

In Massachusetts, the law that "All men must carry a loaded rifle to church on Sunday" is still officially on the books.

While he was in exile in Iraq, Ayatollah Khoemeini issued at fatwa that said that if someone had sex with a pigeon it was OK to eat the pigeon if the pigeon didn't consent but not OK if it had.

Mediterrainianian vegetables are huge. To get an idea of a Greek radish, clench your fist.

In West Virginia, it is legal to eat roadkill.
Also, it is legal to marry one's first cousin in Maryland, but not in West Virginia.

I imagine it was so common in West Virginia that they had to make a law banning it.

New Law Passed to Block Concert Suicide
1 hour, 18 minutes ago


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The St. Petersburg city council passed a law Monday designed to scuttle a rock group's plans to feature an onstage suicide.

The hard-rock band Hell on Earth had said that a suicide by a terminally ill person would take place during a concert Saturday to raise awareness of right-to-die issues.

In response, the city council met Monday morning to unanimously approve an emergency ordinance making it illegal to conduct a suicide for commercial or entertainment purposes, and to host, promote and sell tickets for such an event.

"While I still think it's a publicity stunt, we still couldn't sit idly by and let somebody lose their life," council member Bill Foster said.

Tampa-based Hell of Earth, known for such outrageous onstage stunts as chocolate syrup wrestling and grinding up live rats in a blender, created the furor by announcing the suicide would happen Saturday at the Palace Theater in downtown St. Petersburg.

But the theater's owner, David Hundley, promptly canceled the band's show, and another venue also turned away the event.

Band leader Billy Tourtelot has vowed that the concert and suicide will still take place at an undisclosed location in the city, broadcast live on the band's Web site.

"This show is far more than a typical Hell On Earth performance," Tourtelot said in an e-mail last week. "This is about standing up for what you believe in, and I am a strong supporter of physician-assisted suicide."

A message left for Tourtelot was not immediately returned Monday.

A Florida law already makes assisting in a suicide manslaughter, a second-degree felony.

Hell on Earth is playing clubs in support of its independently produced album, "All Things Disturbingly Sassy."
