In the UK it's against the law to go around manhandling fish products (Salmon Act of 1986). Acting shifty or in a suspicious manner, while holding a salmon, trout, eel, lamprey, smelt or freshwater fish, isn't allowed.

Climbing a tree in Oshawa, Ontario, even as a little kid playing around is nothing short of a terrorist act and will be fined $250 for the offence. There's over 318 billion trees around to create this offence.

In Australia, the Summary Offences Act of 1966, forbids operating a kite “to the annoyance of any person”.

I thought that was if you're standing on the border of Wales, you're allowed to shoot anybody in the country with a bow.

I don't remember where I heard that from so take it with five or six grains of salt.

found these relating to welsh people....

Welshmen are prohibited from entering Chester before the sun rises – and have to leave again before the sun goes down, according to an old bylaw.

Which perhaps explains the fact that it is still technically OK to shoot a Welshman on a Sunday inside the city walls – as long as it’s after midnight and with a crossbow.
