Prepare to be scared, tickled and astonished to read the top-searched 2008 queries in New York that address the most random, most embarrassing, most creepy, and most concerning aspects of city life. Here are 10 of the more interesting bits:
Is it illegal to spit on someone in NY?
Who is the Naked Cowboy?
How do I remove auto dealership decals?
Are M-80s illegal in NY?
How do I block my phone number?
Is it illegal to photocopy currency?
How do I induce labor naturally?
Is it illegal to street race in NY?
How can I stalk someone?
How do I pass a polygraph?
Although the rest were somewhat concerning (does the M80 guy want to know for ownership or tattletale purposes?), I find myself compelled to google (cause I'm not an ask.com kinda gal) the naked cowboy.
Per wikipedia:
Robert John Burck, better known as the Naked Cowboy, is an American busker whose patch is on New York City's Times Square. He wears only cowboy boots, a hat, and briefs, with a guitar strategically placed to give the illusion of nudity.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Cowboy
My favorite part of the wiki-entry:
During the 2008 American presidential election Burck was a staunch supporter of John McCain, remarking that the Republican candidate was "older and wiser" than his opponent Barack Obama. (Really? The naked guy is a conservative?) Additionally, on November 22, 2008, he became an ordained minister, and on December 10, 2008 he was officially registered as a marriage officiant by the City of New York. (And, if you want - he'll marry you and your loved one!)
Moving on. I'm visiting Jameson von Monkey Man in July - and I can't wait! I haven't seen him since early May! Now, the only thing I'm NOT looking forward to is being seen next to him in a bathing suit. There. I said it. My greek god boyfriend puts me to shame. LOL But I don't care because I get to see him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the same vein, I've been trying to exercise as much as my body will allow - and it's ridiculously frustrating. No complaints - I am doing it. Maybe I should just take a cue from the 'almost naked man' and not give a damn?
Another random: I read post secret this past Sunday (yes, Jameson, I did. Sue me.) and someone sent in this secret: "When I see a penny as tails, I flip it over as heads. I hope you find one."
1) How is this a secret?
2) Unless you pick up the penny - see #3? (... all day long you have good luck.)
3) ... isn't this what everyone does?
Just my 1 cent. LOL
And I retire on that thought.

She looks HOT in the bikini, Mr. von Monkey Man. Tell her about 5 times just to piss her off ;)
sandpaper works great to get rid of the decals, just gotta scrub real hard.
HAHA I wondered if anyone would try to answer the other New Yorker's questions?! (Great tip!)
forgot to mention, it will take the paint off as well.
