To the UK now, and it's compulsory for all English males over the age 14 to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.

It is. Football used to be banned because it was distracting the youths from their longbow practise :D

it MIGHT be a myth, but I don't think it is.

Haha I love all those old shitty laws.

The Yanks have the craziest of all. Their laws regarding sexuality are especially entertaining. If you stop by Mississippi, try not to get sexually aroused in public... if you're a male anyway.
