In Australia, it is illegal to read someone's tarot or give them a psychic reading, as these are forms of witchcraft. In Singapore, you may not walk around your house while naked, as this is considered to be a form of pornography. In the USA, in the state of Arkansas, alligators may not be kept in the bath, and in Iowa, kisses may last for a maximum of five minutes. The World's Stupidest Laws is essential reading for anyone who's ever been bamboozled by legal lunacy abroad or who's fallen foul of ludicrous laws in their own hometown.
