"4. According to City Ordinance Number 352 in Pacific Grove, California, it is a misdemeanor to kill or threaten a butterfly. Would you be screwed if the butterfly threatened you first though?"

Butterflies are a big part of the local culture, and very important to the tourist economy of Pacific Grove, as well as an important and unique natural phenomenon. It's also rather spectacular to witness. So this particular ordinance is actually quite relevant and sensible. I used to work there, many years ago. It's a truly beautiful place.

"Every Year Thousands of Monarchs Overwinter in Pacific Grove
Arriving in October, the Monarch Butterflies cluster together on the pines and eucalyptus trees of the Sanctuary. Their migration to Pacific Grove is so unique and inspiring that Pacific Grove is nicknamed "Butterfly Town, U.S.A." The community has always welcomed the butterflies and sought for their protection. Citizens of Pacific Grove voted to create an additional tax to create the Monarch Grove Sanctuary, led by dedicated volunteers. The Pacific Grove Police Department continues to enforce strict regulations that prohibit the "molestation of butterflies." The fine? $1,000." http://www.ci.pg.ca.us/index.aspx?page=251
