I have a feeling we could have some fun with this thread
So what is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard? Share it with the rest of us. I'll get things started:
1) In some state (Tennesee I think?), there is a law that says something like "It is illegal to paint a baby chick blue and sell it, unless you sell in quantities of a half-dozen"
2) In 1893, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the tomato is a vegetable. However, botanically it is a fruit. (Good thing to know our justice system can get its priorities straight)
3) In the state of Indiana, the official value of PI is 3.2 (it is really 3.14159.....)
