Here are a few eaxmples of weird laws http://www.news.com.au/travel/world/gallery-e6frfqai-1226512738985

My favourites being

“In England the Outer Space Act of 1986 allows the Secretary of State to use reasonable force to prevent an alien attack. But if the aliens come with paperwork saying they have a licence to invade, then Britain will have to invoke the Space Objects Act to repel them.”

and


“In Denmark you don’t have to pay for your food unless you are full at the end of your meal. You also need to legally check under your car for children who may be sleeping there before you start the engine”
