It's possible that they were laws at one time, and might still be. There really are an amazing amount of goofy laws on the books that most people don't even know about.

The scarey part is that something had to have happened at one point or another to even have someone think of making it a law. And the scarier part is that some city council or something voted on all of these to make them laws! Now who, in their right mind, would vote to make it illegal to have a cat chase a dog up a telephone pole!!?! Ok, maybe their brains were a little numb seeing as how it's Minnesota and all (sorry to any Minnesotans out there) but how many dogs do you know can climb a telephone pole?!!!
