dumblaws.comNewest Review: ... open for contributions again there are no problems with cheques that cost more to cash than they are worth. FINAL OBSERVATIONS I like dumblaws.com and the other dumb sites: criminal acts, bumpers, facts and warnings. They are interesting, easy to navigate and of an attractive and not too fussy design. I’m totally jealous of the owners because I think that it’s a great idea to build up and with advertising and books to sell I can see a good earning potential, and especially if they have more good or dumb ideas to develop. ... more |

Whenever I want a laugh I try a search on Google using key words like funny, comedy or dumb. I like dumb facts and the dumber they are the more my fancy is tickled. I've been on dumblaws.com a few times and hadn't thought to write about it until I spotted this category. FIRST IMPRESSIONS The site is quick to load, but I am on broadband and I think that's quicker anyway - correct me if I'm wrong techies. The background to the home page is white and a bit bright. A picture of a gavel coming out of a hole too small for it is on the left of the headline Dumb Laws, which is in black print and on a blue background. Underneath ... Read the complete review

Did you know that I am legally allowed to urinate, in public, on the back of my motor vehicle, if I have my right hand on the top of the vehicle. And that if I were to live in Maryland USA, I would not be allowed to grow thistles in my back garden. Or take Kansas USA, where I am not actually allowed to shoot rabbits from inside a motorboat. But that begs the question. If I had a rubber dinghy, and I blew it up on the motorboat, dropped it over the side and got in, then shot the rabbits, would it be legal? How about if I temporarily removed the motor? Or in Georgia USA, I am actually banned from keeping a donkey in a bathtub. Also in Georgia, the ... Read the complete review

The law is an ass. As a former law student, I can testify that. However, amongst those controversial laws, such as the criminalisation of cannabis and the age of consent, there are other quirkier laws which are on the statute books, and this site celebrates them. The hilarious site is run by Andy Powell and Jeff Koon, who are particularly proud of having recently appeared on the Montell Williams show. One of those sites who's popularity has spread by word of mouth, it is consistently funny, even if some of the laws featured are relatively well known, thanks to those 'quirky' radio programme items. Simple and easy to use (and no pop-ups!), it ... Read the complete review

Dumblaws.com is a fantastically funny web site that will keep you coming back for more and more laughs. The whole site revolves around real laws in existance now! The laws come from different countries around the world including America, England, China, Japan, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy and many more! The laws are said to come from a variety of sources including the state/municipal codes, elected officials, books, newspapers, magazines, other web sites and visitors to the site who give their input. The people in charge of the site say that most of the laws are real although many are so old that you probably wouldnt get arrested for ... Read the complete review

Most of us will have heard about the bizarre laws which have never been revoked in British law and are therefore still recorded as being part of a our legal system. We are of course perfectly within our rights to shoot a Welshman in Chester with a bow and arrow just so long as it is after midnight if we are to heed these laws and of course no boy under the age of 12 may seen a naked shop mannequin either. Dumblaws.com is a site devoted to these bizarre laws but not just in Britain but around the globe. The focus falls mainly upon the US, as most internet related activity seems to do, but they can be forgiven because many of these laws are simply hilarious. Whereas our ... Read the complete review
