Dumb Laws throughout the United States

In order for our country to have order, we do need laws. However some of the laws are just plain stupid or outdated. This site allows you to find out what "dumb" laws are still on the books in many states. These are real laws, but many of these laws were written ages ago, and they were never repealed (taken out of the lawbooks). For instance:
-It is illegal for a driver to wear a blindfold while driving a car in Alabama.
-In New York, you have to buy a license to hang clothes on a clothesline.
-In Michigan, alligators may not be tied to fire hydrants.

Go to the following website and click on the name of the state to learn about these dumb laws:
