    Interpretive Mixed Martial Arts - How It Began
    Caleb and Ninive had worked hard developing their new sport and a variety of awesome routines. They were sure they would impress the judges after getting a public following on their nationwide tour. When they damaged the old building (owned by Ninive's dad) getting out their newly tricked-out bus, a police officer arrived almost immediately threatening to arrest them. They had damaged a Classic DAZ Historical Building and were in deep trouble. Fortunately Nine's father paid the large fine and restorative repairs and they continued on their mission.

    The art law

    At the spaceport of Yethi-Groon, law states that all pieces of art has to be transported openly to prevent fraud and other criminal activities. Lexi and miss Jinx had bought a painting of Pippi Longstocking's Father at an auction. It was said that it actually was painted at the island where he lived as a chief over the whole island.

    Maybe A Landscaper Would Help
    Because there wasn't much work available on Planet Earth, Stephanie immigrated to Beta-Trapunia, where female human workers were welcome to do things the Trapunias found distasteful - all form of physical labor. Because the Trapunians found them "unmanageable", male humans were not allowed on the planet. When asked by Zik to beautify the plant life, Stephanie explained that landscaping was men's work.

    Gladiator Ultra

    Media mogul Richard Deepwater tried to convince the Olympic Committee that his new idea for a Olympic sport, Gladiator Ultra, would sell a lot of commercial spots at very high prices and would make the Olympic Committee very rich, but they declined his idea.

    Cosplay Convention Games
    The Annual Platean Cosplay Convention committee pondered including a new sporting competition for their upcoming event.
    Freestyle Watersports, suggested by new member Johnny Jawsome, seemed like a great idea until they saw Johnny in action. 
    Distraught committee members discussed a requirement that attendees pass a human DNA test or at least show themselves out of costume. Reynard, knowing he wouldn't do well with either option, said those seemed a bit harsh and they should just refuse the sport and continue playing badminton and croquet.

    Prime ribs

    At the posh restaurant The Overlook, health inspector John Auber was very displeased to find that he got six pieces prime ribs on his plate. They were not served according to section 47:11 in the Health and Safety Regulations, which clearly states that prime ribs have to be served in prime numbers only.

    Replicator Roulette

    After discovering that the equipment they had stolen from the recently looted lab could also materialize clothing, a new pastime quickly took hold: Replicator Roulette.
    The main rule of Replicator Roulette is: What the replicator gives, you must wear.
    Given the tendency toward underwear and especially tops, it's to be feared that interest will wane over time.

    Total Destruction... now near you

    Apparently, it's against the law to hold arena fights with mythical and/or undead creatures that control massive robots and/or vihicles in the middle of a city. The resulting widespread devastation seems to be problematic for some. Who would have guessed?

    Interspecies Meet and Greet
    In the tiny country of Polypodia every creature was required by law to attend the Basic Civility Class. With this measure President Elebeast intended "to promote some degree of peace and understanding among the country's wide variety of species."

    The no drinking without food law

    In New ChesterHaven, Capitol of the mining backwater moon Zyrink 42, Governor Starspring wanted to stop the miners from drinking too much alcohol, so he wrote a law. You need to by something to eat, to be able to buy alcohol at bars. The bar owners invented the plastic wrapped sandwich, which you order, and then return for a refund.*

    * This was the law in Sweden until 1955, and the exact thing happened.

    Randys' Drag Races
    Because there was a double-booking due to some name confusion, both the Randy Rose Drag Race and the Randy Ross Drag Race were held at the Platea International Resort on the same weekend. With both drag dressing and mini-sub drag racing declared illegal in their countries, both Randys and their crews and fans found they could make the best of an messy situation.

    Motorcycle christmas tree jousting

    After the failure with Gladiator Ultra, Richard Deepwater decided to make his own take on the rather popular TV show Gladiators. He bought their set, and invented some more exotic and popular sports, but motorcycle christmas tree jousting was not one of them, and it got banned by the government.

    Give a flower to the Oni

    'Give a flower to the Oni' was a tv show in which the candidates were tasked to do something nice for members of the lower class - exemplified by the Oni. The show got canceled after an incident that traumtized a lot of children since it was unfortunately broadcasted live.

    Dandelion, the Fae: "And here we see why Edie had to sign the declaration of desist to never play a party game again."
    Edie: "Yeah, I just confused the whole thing with that game for children ... that with the donkey."
    Dandelion, the Fae: "So, we have to do something else this evening."

    2159 - The Continuum Adjusters Return (Again)*
    In 2159 all VR Games are banned, all simulations, and just anything smacking of unreality is deemed unlawful - no meditation, recreational drugs etc. Also included are all art forms, movies, TV, art, music, theater. "We will all stay here and enjoy life together." Unfortunately no one is sure anymore what "here" and "reality" are and many are wandering aimlessly. Fortunately the Continuum Adjusters arrive to sort things out...

    Interpretive Dance Message

    On Momus, the monarch is considered to be the symbol of wisdom and their rule is absolute. Even if they are only eight years old and propose laws such as the one that states all official messages must be delivered via interpretive dance. Violaters will be forced to clean the throne room top to bottom, under the supervision of her intimidating new chancellor. Hope you aren't afraid of heights.

    The Health Inspector
    Steph and husband Jeff (not in picture because out fishing) thought it would be great to open a cybercafe in troll country, as trolls, like them, weren't very tidy folks. Things went well until the (very unpopular) health inspector showed up to enforce a few laws about cleanliness.

    Civil Servant's Wine Law

    Duck A Duck

    To increase the number of customers, The Bishop's Arms pub in Swiss alps, invented the game Duck a Duck. The participants run around the pub garden with a pint in their hands, while an ancient portal shoots extra terrestrial rubber ducks at them. The winner is the person doing ten laps, and still having at least a half pint in the glass when crossing the finishing line. The game was banned by the Swiss government as the rubber ducks were seen as illegal aliens.

    Robot Servants Upgrade
    No one wanted to compete in Atlantida's Annual Games, so programmer Lola was requested to train the servant robots for it.  Because the robots didn't understand competition, she had to give them a little upgrade. The Games were very entertaining that year, but the robots were no longer useful as household servants. Lola was not able to fix them so they were sent on off-world missions that required their new features.

    Cures for hiccups

    After an epidemic of hiccups, a health law required that all those affected go to a hospital... A haunted hospital.

    In some cases, the hiccup attack was indeed cured. But then there were side effects....

    Unusual Laws

    Title: Police Announcement

    Caption: The police would like to remind the public that while dragon racing after joggers is legal, it is not legal to do so while talking on the phone as the rider being distracted may fail to prevent their dragon in consuming a jogger. Placing unnecessary obstacles in front of joggers is also highly frowned upon.

    Replicator Roulette returns

    While taking his reindeers for a fly, Santa found a strange machine on the seashore. Attached to it was a piece of paper with the rules for Replicator Roulette: "The main rule of Replicator Roulette is: What the replicator gives, you must wear." He took the machine into town, started it up, and was very pleased with what he got. The elves were also happy about their new tops. Until they realized that the Replicator was still adjusted to Santa's size.

    Bench Lifting

    When the various superhero teams that were formed in an attempt to put a stop to DAZ City's crime problem actually succeeded, lots of the members suddenly found themselves with lots of spare time and little to do.  To alleviate boredom and keep their skillls honed in case they were needed again, the teams started holding loosely-organized sports events.  One of these sports, lifting a bench with other team members sitting on it to provide extra weight, was regarded as a little unsafe and destructive.  Not wanting to outlaw picking up benches, or put a damper on superheroes having sports competions in general, the city council passed an ordinance making it illegal to remove a park bench from it's place...while someone is still sitting on it.
