Today, I was looking up dumb laws in Australia. I found out that all taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk. MLIA

Oh wait, am I supposed to be excited? Sad? Surprised? I don't get it.

A law in 1831 England was that London hackney carriages were only allowed to feed horses corn or hay (feeding them anything else incurred a fine), so drivers kept a bale of hay in the boot. The same law applied to Australia, and was never amended, but modern cabs definitely aren't required to carry a bale of hay.
