This reminds me of the site http://www.dumblaws.com

 From the site:

In Missouri:
-"It is illegal to have oral sex."
-"Single men between the ages of twenty-one and fifty must pay an annual 
tax of one dollar (enacted 1820)."
-"It is not illegal to speed."

In Columbia:
"Citation: Section 4-68

Hours of consumption. No person having a license under the provisions of 
this article shall permit the drinking or consumption of any 
nonintoxicating beer by any person, in any quantity, upon or about his 
premises between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

(Code 1964, § 4.460)"

Anyone know the validity of these?
