the one child policy really isn't that absurd, think about a booming population, that is growing exponentially, limiting a couple to one child is not just stopping the population from increasing by three or four, look a few generations down the line if each couple had say 3 children, you end up with over crowding and quality of life begins to crumble.
And they may not have what we would think of as a good quality of life, but it's all relative.
Brilliant UK law of eating mince pies being illegal, that's a beautiful one, oliver cromwell hated everything about christmas, so went about criminalising it.
His house was in a tiny city called Ely located in East-Anglia.

Banning of Electronic Games

I know one or two Greek players here. I'm assuming this is like Xbox, PS3 etc, then?

Just a few i came across while wandering through the realm of Google

Alabama:
• It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle. - Thought that would be pretty standard
• It is illegal to stab yourself to gain someone's pity.

Alaska:
• It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.
• Kangaroos are not allowed in barber shops at any time.

California
• A city ordinance states that a $500 fine will be given to anyone who detonates a nuclear device within city limits.
• It is illegal to drive more than two thousand sheep down Hollywood Boulevard at one time.

In the same state it is also illegal to view moose from a moving plane

And in some other state jumping from a building is punishable by... wait... a minute... have a guess... yep... death, no joke

I also wanna meet the person who only fines someone $500 for detonating a nuclear device...

ps i love full stops...

found the law Firetrap mentioned > The penalty for jumping off a building is death. <

now this > More than 8 women may not live in the same house because that would constitute a brothel. < is absurd! think of how low your portion of the mortgage would be w/ 7-8 female roommates ...women pay on time! Wink

*Source

and franz, the Greek law is about banning online gambling (casinos) in internet cafes ...don't think it was for video game systems (not sure though ...didn't read all of the info for that law)
