What stupid laws need to be wiped off the books?

Why is displaying a loved one's ashes in an urn on a shelf legal but a head preserved in alcohol isn't??

(1) History and the passing of time - laws do not just disappear when they become irrelevant or are superseded. They require further legislation to remove them from the books. Unless they are positively harmful, the easier option is to let things be.

(2) Large legislatures (assemblies of people paid to make new laws) . . and the popular belief that any ill can be solved through legislation.
