Gainesville, Georgia: It's illegal to eat chicken with a fork.

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLaw one, from Gainesville, Georgia: it is illegal to eat chicken with a fork.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. I've always said a fork was the first thing a civilization loses. I just assumed it'd be later.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal, with a footnote. Gainesville calls itself the Poultry Capital of the World, and per Wikipedia the law began as a publicity stunt.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNobody has been arrested.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA stunt. So the town broke its own cutlery and the police just let it happen.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLaw two, from Arizona: a donkey is apparently barred from snoozing in a bathtub.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. I've thought about this since two thousand nine.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA donkey in a bathtub is a donkey with nowhere to be, and that's how societies slip.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInternet. No statute turns up. The Phoenix New Times lists it among false Arizona laws, saying you can legally keep a donkey in your bathtub.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLegally. Inside the tub, no less.

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLegally. The donkey's opinion of the tub is not in evidence.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen the state has no plan whatsoever, and I'd like that noted. I was so sure.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLaw three, from Rome: a goldfish may not live in a round bowl, according to the city's rules.

14. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorInternet. No city governs the shape of a bowl. Even I have limits, and they're round.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal. Rome outlawed goldfish bowls on animal cruelty grounds, and Monza, Italy did the same in two thousand four, per Wikipedia. Cramped bowls are bad news for goldfish.

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRome regulates the fish and lets the donkey bathe. Remember that when they ask where it went wrong.

17. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo real, one myth. And that's the verdict.

18. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne last ruling. This courtroom is real, it's in a basement, and I haven't been arrested in it yet.
