Strange Laws of The World

1. Calling a woman a "slut" in Oklahoma

This law created back in 1910, long before we could even imagine something like Internet trolls made it illegal to "orally or otherwise, falsely and maliciously or falsely and wantonly impute to any female, married or unmarried, a want of chastity." Back then, you could end up in jail for 90 days and have to pay the state $500. if this were put into place around the country nowadays, the Internet trolls might finally think twice before harassing women online.

2. Naming your baby something stupid in Denmark

There are a lot of weird laws around the world, but most of them don't dictate something as harmless as baby names. It might seem a little oppressive that parents are only legally allowed to pick between 33,000 government-approved names for their newborns. But then again, if it means living in a world where we never have to read about celebrity kids named Blue IvyPilot Inspector, or Apple, maybe it's not the worst idea. For more on parenting, here are 11 Leading Men Who Embraced Fatherhood Later in Life.


3. Hiking naked in Switzerland

Hiking naked through Switzerland used to be a thing, apparently. "Hiking in clothes is too constrictive," one nude hiking enthusiast once told Time Magazine. But since 2011, thanks to some inconsiderate nude hiker whose unsolicited naked ass was witnessed by a family, hiking in the buff could get you fined 100 Swiss francs (around $103). Pro tip: Keep the nakedness in the bedroom, and make sure you know the 5 Things Smart Men Never Say to a Naked Woman.



4. Kissing someone in Indiana while having a mustache

Any law that contains the sentence, "Mustaches are illegal if the bearer has a tendency to habitually kiss other humans," is a legal document you probably don't want to mess with. Beards, on the other hand, don't seem to be a problem. If you're still not sure whether to go full-on beard, though, Let These 10 Goddesses Decide for You.




5. Driving a dirty car in Russia

Although dirty car fines in Russia have been around since 2006, it's still unclear what exactly qualifies an automobile as filthy. In a readers' poll conducted by the Russian newspaper Izvestiya, 46% agreed that a car is dirty if it's license plate is no longer visible. How does that happen? Are Russians parking their cars in swamps? Regardless, you sure won't be tempted to get these cars dirty—meet the Leaders of the Pack: the Best New Cars for 2018.
