No, it is not illegal; a door slot is one exception to the mailbox rules.

The USPS Domestic Mail Manual states that "door slots and nonlockable bins or troughs used with apartment house mailboxes are not letterboxes within the meaning of 18 USC 1725 and are not private mail receptacles for the standards for mailable matter not bearing postage found in or on private mail receptacles."

Can our landlord leave flyers in your mailbox?

Technically, no, but good luck finding someone who cares. Placing anything without a stamp in a mailbox (any mailbox) is a violation of federal postal law. The USPS considers your mailbox to be a part of their system, and placing a letter in it without a stamp is considered use of their system without paying for it. Also, some legal scholars think this is a violation of the tenant's privacy, since the mailbox is part of the apartment. If the flyer left is rude or obnoxious, a judge might rule it a breach of quiet enjoyment. Otherwise, you'll be hard pressed to find a postal inspector who cares, or a judge who cares either.

You can only take single leg stunts up to the chin, but not all the way extended. It would be illegal and you could have major points deducted. I think the only way you could is be having it braced ( the flyer holding someones hands) on two sides.
