This one may have been changed, but I believe that it was technically legal to hang someone for stealing a horse in Texas until quite recently. A horse thief was about the worst thing you could be in the old West. It could mean someone was left stranded without supplies in the middle of nowhere. Also, a horse with all its gear and the contents of the saddlebags was a significant amount of value that people would have to leave just standing around in the open much of the time. Strict laws and respect for others' property were all that kept people from just waltzing off with the majority of a man's wealth and worldly possesions while he was in the store buying coffee.

Don Troutman-Actually, ambergris, which is still used a bit in perfume, comes from the digestive tract, and because It’s not water soluble, can occasionally wash up on shore when a whale dies at sea. The precious commodity in the head is spermaceti, which the whale may use as a sonar receiver, and from which whale oil is extracted. The spermaceti organ is not in the brain, however, but on top of the “snout” outside the brain case.

In Fair Oaks CA, near Sacramento, all chickens, wild turkeys, ducks & geese have the right of way. Sometimes it is almost impossible to get anywhere. They even held up a parade because of a couple chickens & a duck. Still on the books.

I have no idea if it's been purged by now, but when I was in high school in San Diego in the late 1960s, a history teacher told us he went looking for outdated school district rules and found that, at that time, a school principal was still required to provide space at the hitching post for every teacher's horse.

I knew about the York law. I'm also a little sad that it's been repealed, too funny. When I was in college, in Cleveland, Ohio in the 90's, there was a law on the books that said more than three unmarried and unrelated women living under one roof was considered a brothel. It was from sometime in the 1800's. It actually kept my university from having official sorority houses.

A funny law from my home town in Oregon, USA, was it was illegal to kick the heads off of snakes when they stuck their heads up in between the boards of the board walk. The reason why - because the snakes with their heads kicked off would stink as they lay dying under the boardwalk.

Thanks for a good laugh! About trespassing not being a big deal in Scotland--as you know, the Presbyterian church started in Scotland and our version of the Lord's Prayer says "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" instead of using "debts" and "debtors".

Unfortunately manners and respect must have been lost on the ship over here Lol!

It was NOT illegal to steal in the small town I worked in as a constable in the early 90’s. For many years no one noticed that. It was immoral to steal, if you got caught you had to see the priest or pastor and they handed out punishment.

Not a law but a right I'm sure you did not know Scots had until 1903 (when it was revoked by the French Gouvernement) : During the Auld Alliance, all Scots living in France were naturalised and thus granted all the same rights as French people (ownership, inheritance...)... It was extended to the whole nation of Scotland in September 1513 by Louis XII : ‘the kingdom of Scotland who shall reside, or come to reside. and shall hereafter decease in our said kingdoms, countries and seignories. of what station soever they be;… [and] they shall be capable of acquiring therein all estates, seigneuries and possessions which they may lawfully acquire; ... to testate and dispose by testament and order of latter-will, living donation, or otherwise at their will and pleasure; and that their wives and children or heirs.. .may by testament or otherwise, take and inherit their estates and successions, as if they were natives of said Kingdom. ...The Church shall be open to all benefices and dignities secular or regular.. .and they, in like manner, [are] able to dispose of their said property, and that in all things those of the said nation be treated, favoured, held, deemed, and reputed, forever, as the true originals of our said kingdom;...provided alwvays that the said king of Scotland [James IV], and his successors, shall grant and allow us such and like privileges to our subjects in their said kingdom.’ You talk a lot about the bond between Americans and Scots but there is no bond stronger than the one between France and Scotland, established 1295. If that is not clear enough, I am French and love Scotland (lived there, would surely have been back had I not found my other half and settled in my home country at the end of my studies...)

@@tweetiepie551 lol thanks for the way you put it with modern day language and cultural references. Made me laugh... however let's not change History... it is the English who were prone to invading their neighboring countries (we have the Hundred Years war to prove it lol )

@@damnea yes of course they did.. they still do. ( Ireland). However you must also admit that we did enjoy making an England into a panini. As I recall we have been doing it since the 10th century.it kept them on their toes with all the grace of an elephant ballerina. I don't know why he speaks of a bond between Scotland and America.. there isn't one,that is an Irish attachment.. Scotlands bond is with Canada, just as France has one with her. I suppose we could say France and Scotland had a baby and named her Canada, but America? No.

@@tweetiepie551 I believe he speaks of the America-Scotland bond due to Americans of Scottish descent he has met rather than government to government. I'm 1/2 Scottish and an American. My maternal grandparents came here on their honeymoon and stayed. Thus I, as many other Americans like me, have a great love and interest for Scotland and its people and culture.

@@flyinhawaiian9174 that's very sweet and respect to Your grandparents. However we aren't referring to government to government alliances.those change on the mood of a gust of wind,or individual preferences based on an ancestor originating from somewhere thus instigating a personal interest in a culture.This is a far deeper concept reaching back 30,000 years.to the first migrations. To us,America and Canada are cousins not brothers., England and Ireland are America's parents. France and Scotland are Canada's parents, thus the bond reflects that.

While living in Twentynine Palms, California, I had a friend who would ride his horse to a local bar (pub) where there was a hitch rail at the side of the building. He would drink until he was nearly unconscious, at that time the bartender would get him on his horse and tie the reins around the saddle horn and send the horse off in the direction of home. The horse walked home and my friends wife would get him into 5he house, then go out to put the horse in it’s corral after removing saddle and bridle.

It is illegal here in Southern Ontario to have one’s bath water more than 3.5 inches or 9 cm’s deep. The temp has a minimum too. There are laws saying people can’t have their abode any less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit, but there is no law to say how hot it can get.

loving this! Can i join ye for a pub crawl when I get to edinburgh late september?

I love the one about the bow and arrow.

A variant also applied to Welshmen discovered in Chester or Hereford, either on the Sabbath or on Market Day (depending on which research you believe). They could be shot by a Marcher with a bow and arrow, but only from 12 yards.
