Did you know it's illegal to wake a sleeping bear for a photo in Alaska? That Arizona's camel hunting ban exists because the U.S. Army once imported camels to the desert - and then just... released them? Or that Connecticut has an official legal test for pickles that involves dropping them on the floor?
