those new york laws wouldnt b applied today though! although i do know some good ones:

although the u.k. has abolished the death penalty, high treason is still a hangable offence.

in york is a street which is the shortest street with the longest name - it is still legal for a man to take his wife their an whip her for nagging him.

on a certain day of the year, a man from york can sit on the wall of the city and shoot a welshman with a bow and arrow, but only through the eye.

if someone breaks into your house and is upstairs, you are allowed to kill them, because it is seen as an attack on your life.

Hmm...sort of correct on a couple there Dave!

An Englishman may shoot a Scotsman on the streets of York, but only with a bow and arrow!

An Englishman may also shoot a Welshman on the streets of Hereford with a bow and arrow, but only on a sunday!

...and killing someone in your house is not allowed no matter what floor they are on! "You may use only sufficient force as is neccessary to defend your life..." Tell that to the guy in Essex who blew away the two guys who broke into his house for the 3rd time...they locked him up and let one of the bloody pikeys go free! Where's the jsutice in that?
