This is simultaneously the most and least Florida thing in the history of Florida.

Too lazy to look for it now, but some of the funniest tweets I saw recently were along the lines of "What would happen if the volcano were in Florida instead of Hawaii? How would Florida Man respond to the warning to not roast marshmallows over lava?"

Question - is 'sapiens' actually the right word for Florida Man? Shouldn't it be, say, Homo cerritulus floridensis?

I'd go with "Pan floridensis", but that might offend the chimps.

St. Augustine police said they arrested Methvin, 40, and her friend, Douglas Nickerson, 41, after getting an anonymous complaint about an unlicensed driver

That seems...odd, doesn't it?

Not actually Florida Man, but Florida-related: Traffic held up by dueling iguanas in parking lot

Never seen that, but I was late to grad school once because of a traffic jam caused by a 12 foot gator in the middle of the road who wouldn't move.

An obscenity conviction would be pretty cool if you could afford it. It's the stairwell that gets me. What position could you hump in a stairwell that didn't put you at risk of breaking your spine?

My sixteen-year-old son recently shared a fun little activity with me... every time you read a "Florida man" headline, don't look at the picture, and mentally read them as all being about the same person: "Florida-Man", a would-be superhero with terrible decision-making skills.

Would somebody with a part time residence in Palm Beach qualify as a "Florida Man?"

He may have gotten the idea from somewhere else...

Certainly so. He said it was an Internet thing.

Sigh, Niceville. I went to school at the community college there.
It was fun, I could tell everyone that I lived in L.A. and went to U.C.L.A.

That is I lived in Lower Alabama and went to Upper Corner of Lower Alabama.
