Statewide, you'll find plenty of weird laws that have come out of the legislature in the capital city of Topeka. For instance, the hunting of whales within the state is supposedly forbidden by law (via Stupid Laws). For some reason, lawmakers decided to pass a law prohibiting placing ice cream on top of cherry pie in Kansas.

Are you considering a career in chicken thievery? Be forewarned that the state of Kansas requires all chicken thieves to practice their trade during daylight hours only. Those who might be taking a walk along a highway at night must carry some legally required equipment. State law makes pedestrians wear tail lights if they are going to walk along or cross any major roadway.

There are a lot of ways to catch a fish. But in Kansas, it's illegal for anyone to catch fish with their bare hands. Hunting rabbits is perfectly legal in Kansas. But you will find yourself in some legal trouble if you shoot these creatures from a motorboat. Another weird hunting law makes it unlawful for anyone to use mules to hunt ducks or any other waterfowl. 

Weird Facts tells us that you should be careful when accelerating your vehicle in the state. Screeching your tires or laying rubber can result in a fine of up to $500.
