Strange, funny stories pop up from Florida pop up so often that FARK has an entire category for them. Yep, there's "Scary", "Strange", "News Flash" categories, alongside "Florida".
So via FARK, here it is - the 2006 Year in Review from the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Many of the glorious moments are here - a woman stopped at customs for a human skull in her suitcase, to "ward off evil spirits." The man who stole a small plane to fly him & his son to Cuba. A 15-year old boy who stole a transit bus in Orlando, picked up passengers, collected fares, and drove the speed limit (are you listening, Tucson Sun Tran drivers?!) before he was arrested. Teenagers joyriding in a stolen school bus. The Boca Raton police officer that accidentally left her gun in the ladies room of a resort. Fully loaded. And, as always, multiple incidents with alligators, drugs & pythons.
