The UK's Most Ludicrous Laws

After polling nearly 4000 people, UKTV Gold researchers compiled a list of the most ludicrous laws in the UK. Among the best/worst are:
It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27%)

--Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned (5%)

--In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants (4%)

--The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen (3.5%)

--It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (3%)

--It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour (3%)
Mitchieville has its fair share of controversial laws, but I stand behind each one. I think it's imperative that people follow the letter of the law.

Among some of the more controversial laws in Mitchieville:
It is illegal for men of eastern European decent to jazzercise in Mitchieville Central Park while wearing only a thong.

A 60 day prison sentence if you squash a mosquito if it has a mouth full of blood

Electronic stores are subject to a $25,000 fine if they show The View in their display windows.

You are only allowed to name your child Moe if their middle names are Curly and Larry.

All female citizens of Mitchieville are required to take a three day course on how to properly prepare Noodle Caboodle. Failure to comply will result in a spanking of 50 smacks, by The Mayor's own hand.
Strict? Sure. Fair? You betcha!
