The British Parliament has a committee dedicated to deleting obsolete laws. They get rid of about 100 a session. The last estimated completion time I heard is sometime in the 22nd Century!
Cheers!

By then, I'm sure there will be a lot more obsolete laws for Parliment to consider!
The laws of today. So I suppose that work will never be complete.

Sadly, that Arkansas law about wife beating would be a gift to many women who are abused daily.
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth.
An ordinance in Newcastle, Wyoming, specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store's walk-in-meat freezer!
In Los Angeles, you cannot bathe two babies in the same tub at the same
Prostitutes in San Francisco are not obliged to make change for bills larger than $50.
In Ottumwa, Iowa, "It is unlawful for any male person, within the corporate limits of the (city), to wink at any female person with whom he is unacquainted
In Kentucky, "No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within this state unless she be escorted by at least two officers or unless she be armed with a club. (NOTE: nudists probably don't have a problem with this.)
In Michigan, a woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.
In Norfolk, Virginia, a woman can't go out without wearing a corset. (There was a civil-service job- for men only- called a corset inspector.)
In Merryville, Missouri, women are prohibited from wearing corsets because "the privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male."
The owner of every hotel in Hastings, Nebraska, is required to provide each guest with a clean and pressed nightshirt. No couple, even if they are married, may sleep together in the nude. Nor may they have sex unless they are wearing one of these clean, white cotton nightshirts.
Women aren't allowed to wear patent-leather shoes in Cleveland, Ohio- a man might see the reflection of something "he oughtn't!"

Kimberly,
I though the law was that Pi is 3 (not 3.141415927...). Something to do with Solomon having a circular table 2 cubits across and 6 cubits around (Google calculator says 1 cubit = 45.72 centimeters - the length of the forearm with fingers extended, see http://www.ncsli.org/misc/cubit.cfm).
Not being able to believe there was something in the Bible that was the literal truth (even though Pi had not been determined when Solomon was around, the Egyptian Royal Cubit Master wasn't available, and it's notoriously difficult to accurately measure circles with an extended forearm), the lawmakers decreed the value of Pi. This may be why their carts went bump, bump, bump...
Cheers!
David
