There are good points in the article, but I'm annoyed that they bring up the "lobster law" as so many articles about "absurd laws you might be breaking without knowing it" do. There's actually a very valid reason why possessing a small lobster is illegal -- immature lobsters haven't bred yet and if you want to have lobsters in the future you shouldn't harvest them.

The pint is "lobster are illegal, who would've guessed, can you imagine having a lobster and ending up in jail?, and can you imagine how many other thousands of unknown laws are you breaking right now?, it's not possible to keep track of them all"
