WI just passed two laws pertaining to actual issues, on the road.
Drunk driving laws have been stiffened, and texting while driving is
forbidden.

South Carolina passes a law saying terrorists have to register.

 RC> The City Of Spartanburg, (I live outside of the city), has a law
 RC> saying it is illegal to eat watermelon in the Magnolia Street Cemetary
 RC> (real old law)..

Why? Not supposed to spit seeds at the ghosts?
