Is It Illegal?

So you've probably always wondered, what things do people MOST want to do, that they think may be potentially illegal? Lucky for us, Google has the answers. Here are the top ten Google-suggested searches when you type in "is it illegal to":

10. To kill a praying mantis.
Apparently, this is something that enough people potentially want to do that Google suggests it as a search. Actually, seeing that makes me want to search for it to see why people are asking...

9. To watch movies online.
Guess some people want to check before indulging in watching "Steel Magnolias" in 13 parts on YouTube.

8. To buy prescription drugs online.
I'm guessing "without a prescription"...

7. To date a minor.
A serious issue for high school seniors and those who wish they were still high school seniors.

6. To download music.
I mean, "everybody does it", right?

5. To burn the American flag.
Some people just want to make sure it's OK with the authorities before protesting authority.

4. To burn money.
This raises the question, "Why would you want to burn money?"

3. To drive barefoot.
"I mean, I'm just going through the drive-thru..."

2. To sleep in your car.
I mean, who doesn't want to save $40 on a motel and sleep along a dark, lonely, highway...

1. To be high.
Not to get high, or to buy drugs, or to be caught with drugs. We all know that those are illegal... but what if I "accidentally" got high on some illegal drugs that I just found and accidentally ingested? And thus, apparently, the question.

This is easily one of the best posts ever on The Boring Things.

Quit college and start applying to work on The Daily Show and Colbert Report now, you comic genius god.

Truly, you are too kind. Unfortunately those shows seem to be uninterested in my talents.
