A few bits of Random

It seems that John Quincy Adams kept an alligator (or maybe two?) in the White House bathroom. I can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that a few states have (or have had) laws specifically prohibiting the keeping of an alligator in the bathtub. I know Arkansas is one of them, and I vaguely recall there being a few more.

Indiana has no specific prohibition on dueling. In fact, few states do. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel#State_constitutional_provisions_and_military_laws_prohibiting_dueling) Yeah, yeah, there are all those "murder" and "assault" laws, but still... dueling isn't inherently illegal. eeeexcellent...

Setting off a nuke with the intent to commit terrorism is only a B felony in Indiana. (Unless you kill or injure a person; then it's an A.) But if you nuke a cornfield to destroy all the crops, it's only a C felony. (http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar47/ch12.html)
