911 call http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/us/2011/03/30/dnt.fl.woman.sink.hole.baynews9.html

The bizarre thing is this is the 2nd time she fell in a sink hole.

Well she was smart enough to realize when the place you live try's to eat you. It's time to move.

Florida, the hungry state.

Florida is filled with yankees and other assholes that move here from other states (LOTS from NY) and countries. Just saying.

This is true.

I just moved from Tampa, FL up to Virginia after 21 years of being in the Sunshine state. No offense to any Virginians, but you've got no room to bag on Florida folks. There are some seriously daft people in this state. Every operation takes FOREVER...I don't care if it's ordering coffee or paving a road. Also, if you don't have a twang, folks don't trust you.

At least Florida doesn't have a serial killer running loose, Glenn.

That person most likely found the Jersey Meadowlands closed and decided to cross the river.

Wasn't this guy from Florida?

Yep, and we caught him. And they wouldn't let us throw him in a sinkhole. We've got some really deep ones.

That can't be true, because they're ALL out here... (or will be at some point).

The Orlando Sentinel used to have a great columnist, Bob Morris.
He had an amusing bumpersticker made up -

"Happiness is 100,000 Canadians headed home, with a New Yorker under each arm"

This little baby opened up when I lived in central Florida, the infamous Winter Park sinkhole:

I think there was at least one car they never found - and I'm sure various other items. This was in 1981, so the car was probably better off down there, considering the vintage.

Too bad it didn't happen right over my old high school during some weekend.
