Wacky laws – on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, today’s laws come from Louisiana:
It is a $500 fine to instruct a pizza delivery man to deliver a pizza to your friend without them knowing. *raises eyebrows at Kade and Aric*
Rituals that involve the ingestion of blood, urine, or fecal matter are not allowed. *ewww*
One could possibly land in jail for 20 years upon urinating in the city’s water supply. *there's a nature call that'll cost ya!*
Have a fangtastic Midnight Breed Thursday everyone!
