If you ever find yourself in Minnesota and witness a pig covered in Greece running past you,

for the love of God, don't chase it.

And don't you dare let your chicken cross the road in Georgia?

These bizarre scenarios, it turns out, are entirely illegal.

In fact, there are tons of strange laws out there that most people have never heard of,

and as a result, there's a chance that you unknowingly break the law on a daily basis.
