Chico, CA

Just in case destruction of life doesn't take.
Tack on 500 dollars
That'll teach the bastard.
Won't do that in this town again.

Those are clearly fake. Some may be real, as I have hear a few weird laws before, but some of them are far too ridiculous to be true. Take the nuke example for instance. Good fun though.

No Austrian laws :-/

But what I have to say: Some of the laws listed there - I mean, who considered them dumb? Denmark for example, with the duty to mark an involuntarily parked vehicle at the side of the road with a red triangle - does any author of dumbnetwork actually know how many people die each year because they do not see obstacles like parked cars?

Actually, I think most of them are real, they just aren't as specific as they seem, and are unintended consequences of other laws. The nuke one, for instance, might be a $500 fine for undeclared hazardous materials, or something.
