Today in History, Spain gives us Florida

This is from Fark. "On this day in history - Spain Welcome to Florida.ceded Florida to the United States. Bastards."

Yep.

And to celebrate, Fark introduced the Florida tag, because — well — Florida has that special brand of insanity that no one else can imitate. Among the articles sporting the new Florida sticker are...
Though Fark missed this story about an old lady in Miami getting into a fight over where she could sit on a Greyhound bus.

Yep, Florida is a special place.
(note: I'm using my Florida tag. It's a bit larger than Fark's, but I'm fond of it.)
