At least when we took stuff from people we would subsequently betray and/or largely exterminate, we were dignified enough not to make a holiday of it. Just a couple of films. Big films mind you, but at least Zulu and Lawrence of Arabia were good.
Yeah, they say it's supposed to be some sort of harvest festival or summat.....

Briefly back to the silly Laws - I think my favourite in Rhode Island is that a marriage is annuled if one of the spouses is determined to be an idiot.
Oh, and cap guns are illegal, but real guns aren't.
And they're trying to make the coastal waters a "No Discharge Zone"... whatever that means

Which man?

Didnt specify, I think it means any man, either that or it has a population of one
Heres a more comprehensive list of more here;

I remember a while ago, one of my cousins in NJ told me about a website with "crazy" laws we have here in England, and told me he didn't believe any of them, especially that silly one about us having to pay for a licence to watch TV...
I retaliated with completely understandable and plausible State laws from New Jersey such as:
<ul type="square">[*]It is illegal to wear a bullet-proof vest while committing a murder.[*]It is against the law to frown at a police officer.[*]Handcuffs may not be sold to minors.[/list]
I really want Pumpkin Pie. 
First year without it, ever.

Well I stand corrected, but I sourced from a university site regarding random laws for some of those, so I blame them
(nothing to do with any shoddy quick copy/pasting by some idiot at work with nothing better to do )
Plus I only understand mathematics when its presented by Carol Vordeman , any other time I might as well try to read sanscript using George Bush as my translator....

Most of the Marches towns still have bye laws like this that never quite got repealed. I recall one place where it was legal to shoot Welshmen crossing the town's bridge.

Especially the English - it is an Englishman's duty to reserve his greatest loathing for himself. Anyone who takes pride in their work, duty or personal hygiene rather than grumbling constantly gives licence to being shunned, grumbled at and vilified by The Sun/Daily Mail for any possible imperfections.
Parisians are equally egalitarian in their derision of humanity, but hate everyone except themselves.
Incidentally, British Thanksgiving is on July 4th.
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Happy Thanksgiving.
Right.

I do hope all your heroes will be wearing festive turkey heads and celebrating by giving Nemesis a present.
