Laws are necessary to maintain stability and control. But some laws seem a little crazy, especially now, in the 21st century. However, many years ago, these laws came into being, and for some reason, we still haven't gotten rid of them. Officially anyway. Think you know all of the illegal things in Connecticut? Here's a good way to test yourself. Check out these 11 weird laws in Connecticut.

1. Town records may not be kept where liquor is sold.

Town or probate records shall not be kept in any room in which alcoholic liquor is sold, nor in any room from which there is direct access to a room in which such liquor is sold. Any town clerk or judge of probate violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to the penalties provided in section 30-113.

2. You can be stopped by the police for biking over 65 miles per hour.

Only two people in history ever biked this fast, and they were training professionally. Just another of those fun facts in Connecticut you can share with others now.

3. In order for a pickle to officially be considered a pickle, it must bounce.

Honestly, I appreciate a state that appreciates a good pickle. But I've never seen one bounce. If you're looking for strange things about Connecticut, you've definitely found one with bouncing pickles.

4. It is illegal to discharge a firearm from a public highway.

Any person who hunts or discharges any firearm from any public highway shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars. This section shall not apply to any law or conservation enforcement officer in the performance of his duty. Enforcement officers of the Department of Environmental Protection are empowered to arrest for the violation of the provisions of this section.

5. It is illegal to dispose of used razor blades.

Hands up if you're guilty of this crime? Most of us probably are.

6. In Hartford, you aren’t allowed to cross a street while walking on your hands.

So this guy would be in a lot of trouble.

7. In Southington, silly string is banned.

In the mid 1990s, a group of children ran up to a police officer and sprayed him with silly string during the Apple Harvest Festival. So, they banned the product to keep it from ever happening again.

8. In Rocky Hill, an arcade may not have more than a total of four amusement devices.

They're pretty serious about what constitutes an arcade. Thus the limit on "devices" such as ping pong and air hockey.

9. In Meriden, the use of a bean whistle in public is prohibited.

No person not a member of the Police Department of the City shall have in his possession or blow upon, whistle or use in any manner the whistle or call known as the "bean police call."

10. In Waterbury, no beautician can hum, whistle, or sing while working on a customer.

Do you think there was an epidemic of singing hairdressers in the past? I think I'd enjoy that.

11. In Guilford, only white Christmas lights are allowed for display.

That seems boring, although this house does look pretty good. But I couldn't resist adding red lights, too.
