Okay, I'll do it. "Florida Man" challenge!
9Heard it’s a thing. A potentially hilarious thing. Since I live here (or there, depending on your perspective) figure it’s okay. Not casting ass-persions since I have (get) to listen to many of the reports 
Anyway, Google “Florida Man” and your birthday and let the merriment begin!

Ha ha! …No.
Long-time readers of fark.com knew of the “Florida effect” a long time ago. It’s amazing, funny and tragic.

@narfcake I was about to say" Didn’t we do this a couple of weeks ago!".
@narfcake @rtjhnstn guess the point of this one was to see what particular stupid shit happened on your birthday. Missed the earlier thread or I’d have skipped this one; it’s all over the local news around here!
@narfcake @rtjhnstn This thread is keeping it fresh. But I am concerned about sending someone your name and date of birth. Entertainment or data collection?
I think this one would be hard to beat:
Florida man suspected of smelling woman’s feet at library leads police on scooter chase
Dr Drew’s Loveline radio show long had a “Florida vs Germany” weirdness competition.
They were given a nutty headline. Then tried to figure out if the incident was from Florida or Germany.
Hint: Incidents involving flip-flops, weed, or naked people in public were more likely from Florida.

@f00l I wonder why we don’t hear anything about Texas gal? They are the ones everyone should be scared shitless of.

@blaineg Caveat - it won’t be in US dollars!
Months before its discontinuation, the exchange rate was Z$300,000,000,000 to $1 USD. Smaller bills were worth less than the paper it was printed on. The novelty value actually makes these old dollars much more worthy now than it was 10 years ago.
@narfcake I think I need a hundred trillion dollar note.
Well, it looks like I don’t. They’re going for $80-100, and there are lots of fakes out there.
