Okay, here is one very strange law,

Section 49 of the Criminal Code of Canada is entitled "Acts intended to alarm Her Majesty" eek: eek:

I'm not making this up, I couldn't even if I wanted to. eek:

This is what S. 49 says:
[quote:2b68f]
Everyone who wilfully, in the presence of Her Majesty,

(a) does an act with intent to alarm Her Majesty or to break the public peace, of

(b) does an act that is intended or is likely to cause bodily harm to Her Majesty,

is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.
