Plagiarism And Compiled Lists

[187.will]

Question applies to the state of: California (though I'm not sure if this really matters)

Hi, I have a question about plagiarism.

If I copied and pasted 3 "stupid/funny warning labels" from a website for an assignment, would it count as plagiarism?

First, those warning labels are numerous throughout the internet, and the originals are probably long lost, so the site I got it from, must have also plagiarized. Also, I am not sure about this, but is there a rule of sorts about plagiarism that states that if it is a compiled list, as that information was taken from many different sources, it does not count as plagiarism but as research.

Thank you in advance for your time.
