People in this country do crazy shit all the time. Just look at the Jackass tv show and series of movies and how successful they are.
    I did some googling.

    In Western Australia it is an offence to possess over 50kgs of potatoes. (Truth!)

    There's gotta be a story behind that.

    Not only is it illegal, but members of the Potato Marketing Authority are allowed to stop your car and search for them if they suspect you might have more than 50kg of potatoes on you. Potato Inspectors have the right to demand the name and address of anyone in possession of what appears to be more than 50kgs of potatoes, and can seize them as evidence. The fine is $2,000 for your first offence, or $5,000 for your second offence. The crime has existed since 1946, but it’s unclear why it first came about, but was likely to do with protecting the states commercial activities. All we know is, if you’re hankering for a French fry feast for you and your friends, cross the border into South Australia first.

    It's illegal in B.C. to kill Sasquatch.

    Also duelling bagpipes is illegal. May that law last forever.

    There's nothing more stirring than the bagpipes leading a military march!

    I agree, I actually like them... even though I'm pretty sure bagpipe players all only know the same 2 songs

    Have you ever watched the Edinburgh Military Tattoo? Some great bagpipe stuff there.
