There is something wrong with us, we have stats to prove it

By “us” I mean Floridians, of course. Anecdotal evidence strongly suggests there’s something just sort of off about us, but here’s a fact that explains a lot: Nine percent of Floridians have some form of mental illness, which is three times the national rate, according to Florida Atlantic University’s Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions.
So that’s good.
On a related note, Matt pointed out this remarkable headline, which I think really sums up this great state of 18 million souls: Juror asks to watch less porn in obscenity trial. But that’s Tampa. One can only assume that a Miami jury would request more than 8.5 hours of spectacularly reprehensible pornography.
