Did you know that there are six states where you can sue someone if they have an affair with your spouse that leads to divorce? The six states are South Dakota, Hawaii, North Carolina, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Utah. Go figure...

To me, that seems like it almost belongs on the list of Nutty Laws That Are Still On The Books. Over at Dumblaws.com, they have shared some of the stupid laws that still exist in many states. Here are a few of those for South Dakota, Iowa, & Minnesota.

    appropriate Iowa drug tax stamp.
  • Tanning bed facilities must warn of the risk of getting a sunburn.
  • Ministers must obtain a permit to carry their liquor across state lines.
  • Doctors who treat a person with gonorrhea must report this to the local board of health and include the disease’s “probable origin.”
  • All boxes used to pick hops must be exactly 36 inches long.
