Outdated Laws Still on Books in US States
Many have to do with sex, religious beliefs and cuddly animals

Let’s hope those fellows down the tracks aren’t in Alabama, spreading salt.
If you’re planning a trip to the United States, be very careful. You could easily break one of our laws and not know it.
We’re not talking about obvious illegal behavior, like throwing a chair through your hotel window. No, there are other, more obscure offenses that could get you in trouble.
Say you visit Alabama. Whatever you do, do not sprinkle salt on any railroad tracks. Not only is it against the law in that southern state - it’s punishable by death.
This may be the proverbial 'better mousetrap,' but you’d best hope you don’t catch anything in it in California.
Really, at least according to warnings that are flying all over the Internet. We can’t find the actual legal citation, though, and this is quite possibly one of those urban legends.
Want to go whale hunting? Don’t do it in Utah, where it’s supposedly illegal. Doesn’t matter that Utah is 1,500 kilometers from the nearest ocean. Whale hunting is forbidden.
And be warned, you can’t legally set a mousetrap in California without a hunting license, either. Tease a skunk in Minnesota, and they can haul you off to jail.
Going after one of these? It had better not be in Utah.
