Things you should never Google

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Sometimes it's better to stay ignorant about certain things. Things that do not really bring anything good to our lives, other than disgust, confusion, and maybe even paranoia. It used to be a lot easier. All you had to do was avoid a topic.

In this gallery you'll find a list of things you should never, ever search on Google. We know how hard it is to resist, but trust us on this one. While these Google searches will not kill you, they'll potentially disturb you, make you sick, and even get you arrested. You've been warned.
