I get a free weekly newsletter called This Is True. www.thisistrue.com. I also subscribe to the premium version, which I pay for. I HIGHLY recommend it. It is humorous takes on outrageous news. So many of the stories come from Floriduh. He often has enough stories from here that he does an all Floriduh edition. Check it out, it is worth your time.

There was a rule in Manitoba that would allow people who had lost their license to still drive mopeds. Something about being under 50cc or something like that. I don’t think it is still like that.

Having been around the Lottery business for a long time I've heard a lot stories. Like this one, where a guy steals a bunch of tickets from the store and brings them back to the same store to cash the winners.

Well all that means is now they will have to wear two ankle monitors during their robberies. That'll show 'em! They look suitably contrite in their mugs so let's not be too harsh on 'em.

Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. dumblaws.comSome dumb laws are just typos. Back in the early days of railroading it became apparent that the age old tradition of "yield to the right" wasn't going to work when trains often took more than a mile to stop. Engineer would race to the intersection, with the loser often destroying his own train and and everything behind the locomotive of the other. One of the midwest states countered that with a law that stated, "when two locomotives (trains) meet at an intersection, both must stop until the other is out of sight".

It's been quiet of the Florida front for a bit so today we get a trifecta!
Some habits die hard: Suspect arrested for "fleeing to elude law enforcement" has outstanding warrant for "fleeing to elude law enforcement"
So do some memories: 74 year old dementia patient jailed on outstanding DUI warrant
But government is government: Florida Voter Registration website crashes -- on last to to register.
