Which led me on to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_law. I did not know that oral sex was sodomy - it's different in the US where it is defined as 'any unnatural act' i.e. includes oral sex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell_v._Georgia

I did not know that oral sex was still technically illegal in 10 US states! I'm a criminal!

EDIT> I'm an idiot - they were repealed in 2003.

In Minnesota, it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse with a live fish.

Good grief! I'm assuming a lot of men had sex with live fish before this law needed to be made? :confused:

Seriously I'd imagine either one occurrence and an over zealous law creator, or a mentalist

"no man shall shoot off a gun while his female partner is having a sexual orgasm"

Remember now, no shooting or it's jail for you.

its a little worrying that someone must have done these things for the law to be needed in the first place. Even more worrying is that some of them are still law.

I've seen videos, oh god.

To be fair though, it says nothing about dead fish so they are fair game.
