Dumb Laws in New York:The penalty for jumping off a building is death.

dumblaws.com is so unreliable. I mean, it has the

That little tidbit was one of the things brought up in John Holmes' piece on

kidnapped in other countries and taken to the States, regardless of extradition treaties. The show will be broadcast tonight, and I recommend it as highly as i usually do, but I think it has a particularly international flavour this week.
