There's something happening in Florida. Perhaps there's something in the water. Or perhaps the sunshine affects peoples mental well-being. But everyone knows there has to be a reason that "Florida Man" headlines are so absolutely insane. The news is consistently flooded with wild, crazy, and often depressing tales of dumb criminals committing very strange crimes. And they all have one thing in common: They're from the Sunshine State.

We've asked this before and we're gonna ask it again: what the actual f*ck is in Florida's water supply? Like, is it some sort of radioactive sh*t? Florida Man might as well be the name of a superhero at this point - a superhero that does absolutely nothing useful but entertain us.
Residents of Florida really make it easy to make fun of the sunny southern state. We mean no disrespect, but these Florida Man headlines and dragging memes are endlessly entertaining. Florida is kind of like that little brother that you love but can't help but poke fun at. If you like these memes and headlines, follow @floridapeoplegonewild. The account is a veritable treasure trove of hilarious insanity.
We've been itching for a new object-labeling meme, and we're happy to report there's finally one on the scene. Earlier this week this photo of a kid holding fire in front of an amazed teacher started popping up around Reddit's myriad meme communities, and its blown up to a point where we've got enough of the memes to share with you. The memes generally revolve around impressing someone with something stupid or shocking, so they're pretty damn versatile - and pretty damn funny.
Thanks to some interesting laws that make it way easier to get ahold of arrest records, there are a disproportionate amount of wacky crime stories that come out of Florida. So now we have Florida Man. He's not the hero we necessarily want or need, but he is the hero who we certainly deserve.
We hadn't really thought about it, but it turns out that hippies andKarens have something in common. They both tend to subscribe to the dubious powers of crystals. And this meme ripped from Rick and Morty is more than happy to call them out.
The meme features a scene from the show in which Morty becomes the owner of a crystal that shows its possessor how they will die. Morty becomes obsessed with the stone's vision of his demise, and at one point, utters "I do as the crystal guides." It's the perfect quote for a joke about people who will blindly believe or follow something, and its success is pretty evident from the variety of memes that have come from it.
You almost wish this headline was just click-bait. But unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you see it), this actually happened. A routine traffic stop turned bizarre is this week's Florida headline. A couple was pulled over in May after running a stop sign, and deputies asked them what they had been doing, and they responded searching for frogs and snakes to collect. The deputies asked them if they had any other creatures in the truck, and that is when things took a turn for the weird.The woman had over 40 turtles in a Ninja Turtles backpack, which was definitely an eye-opener. But that is not what shocked the officers.
The woman in the truck, Ariel Le Quire, after being asked if she had anything else, promptly pulled a foot-long alligator from the yoga pants she was wearing, and placed it in the bed of the pickup truck. The pair were cited and a judge found little humor in her stunt. sentencing Le Quire to 6 months probation, 200 hours of community service, and required her to pay $500 to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. This was all for charges of possessing an American Alligator, transporting more than one turtle or turtle egg, one count of possessing a soft-shell turtle, and one count of possessing more than one turtle, per day.
The woman was also homeless at the time, so it is uncertain how the court expects her to pay the fine. But internet ridicule is sometimes a better teacher than any monetary penance could be.

Florida, this is why we can't have nice things. You just keep effing it up for the rest of us good law-abiding citizens who just want to go about our days without reading 150 ridiculous headlines about whatever Florida did this time. Totally kidding, we love reading about the weird sh*t that goes on there so keep it coming!
