Stupid State Laws - New Jersey

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

New Jersey

"It is illegal to delay or detain a homing pigeon."

What in the hell is a homing pigeon?  Well, I looked it up and basically they were used to send messages long distances back before telephones and Twitter.  If you have read or watch Game of Thrones and its sequels (none of which are also called Game of Thrones like HBO wants you to believe), then homing pigeons are exactly the same birds that they use in that series to send messages.  So, I guess this law was either made during wartime or in a parallel universe where America was populated by power-hungry crazy people with British accents and dragons.  And if it was made during wartime, why would you ever follow this law?  Isn't disrupting your opponents communications key in winning a war?  Instead, New Jersey should have outlawed spray tanning, that would have been a much more sensible law even if they didn't know what spray tanning was at the time.

"Did you know HBO is splitting the 3rd book in the series into two seasons? The child actors will be 40 by the time they finally finish this thing."
