The Orlando Sentinel posted a story about the strange news events in Florida in 2006. Weird seems to be a everyday thing here in Florida. After all this is the state that had Polk County authorities had to rescue a naked man high on cocaine from an alligator.

Here are a couple of my favorite stories from the article

An Orange County sheriff’s deputy was in uniform and sitting in his marked patrol car when a man walked up to him an asked if he wanted to buy some cocaine. The deputy said yes, the man pulled out a bag with cocaine and the officer arrested him.

Another man doubted whether the crack cocaine he bought was real, so he asked two uniformed Tampa police officers to verify. They did. It was. He was arrested.

What is your favorite weird news event for the year of 2006?

    It’s hard to top Florida, but I think the man who is suing the narc dog for searching his business and finding many kilos of mj has got to be pretty weird. To the credit of the legal profession, he is filing suit without a lawyer.

    Well, it is the home of the hanging chad and the paedophile head of the board of missing and exploited children.
