The people at Zippia have compiled the 15 strangest laws in the U.S., which you may or may not have heard about before. Here are 10 highlights:
1. It's illegal to send a surprise pizza delivery to someone's house in Louisiana or anything else that isn't a gift that they're expected to pay for. It is considered harassment.
2. It's illegal to sell, dispose of, give away, or use stink bombs in Alabama.
3. It's illegal to let your donkey sleep in a bathtub in Arizona. The law was passed due to a random incident in 1924 involving a donkey, a tub, and a flood.
4. It's illegal to have billboards in Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, and Vermont. It's an attempt to preserve "scenic beauty."
5. It's illegal to throw stones in the District of Columbia and not just at glass houses, it counts for all streets, highways, open spaces, and public areas.
6. It's illegal to do any fortune telling in Baltimore, Maryland.
7. It's illegal to scare a pigeon in Massachusetts. People who willfully "kill or frighten" them can be imprisoned for up to a month or receive a fine of $20.
8. It's illegal to fall asleep while lying down in a cheese factory in South Dakota. There's clearly a story there but it seems like the origin has been lost.
9. It's illegal to throw a ball at someone's head in New York for a laugh. Originally, the law was put into place to protect carnival workers from being harassed. The law also mentions that it's illegal to throw knives at people.
10. It's illegal to run out of gas in Youngstown, Ohio. It's not a felony thankfully but you could get a misdemeanor ticket.

Do you have a reusable plastic water bottle? And do you ever leave water in there overnight, then keep drinking it the next day? Well, time to panic . . .
A new report says you should stop doing that immediately. At least with reusable soft plastic water bottles.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen analyzed water samples after the water had been in there for 24 hours, and it was loaded with chemicals.
They found hundreds of substances, including "photo-initiators," which can mess with your hormones and potentially cause cancer.
And this part might be even worse: They did it again after the bottles had gone through the dishwasher and there were even more chemicals.
They say it's probably because your dishwasher wears down the plastic and allows it to leach more chemicals into your water.
The lead author of the study says he'll never use plastic water bottles now, and suggests a quality stainless steel bottle instead.

Oops...ever leave the window down and it rains...ugh..wet seat. Well....
A guy in Massachusetts was driving around in his wife's minivan with the sunroof open.
Anyway, he forgot to close the sunroof when he got home and that was unfortunate because there was a big snowstorm the next day. So the front seat of her car got about nine inches.
Luckily, it did minimal damage. He says it would have been much worse if it was rain.

A 32-year-old woman recently got arrested . . . while tooling around the Orlando Airport on a motorized suitcase. That's not what really got her in trouble though.
Her name is Chelsea Alston, she was trying to fly from Orlando to New York. But when she pulled up to her gate on the suitcase, she was hammered and had an empty beer in her hand. So they wouldn't let her fly. Then a bike cop got involved and was very patient with her.
He got her to drink some water and explained that you can't fly if you're that drunk. She claimed she wasn't that drunk and started swearing at him, then rode off on her suitcase.
He chased her through the airport and did everything he could to get her back to the main terminal. He even tried to make it fun by offering to race her there on his bike.
She refused though and then spit at him. So he arrested her at that point. Then she spit a second time, and it hit him in the eye.
She also caused $1,200 in damage to the back of a cop car and defecated in it. She's facing several years in prison if convicted.
