All About the MouseIf you could get into the cockpit of an airplane flying into the Orlando International Airport you would probably hear them chuckling or see a faint smile cross their lips. This is because the approach codes sound like this: GOOFY FIVE, PIGLT ONE, and MINEE TWO. Quirky Key West Interesting facts about Florida: There are a lot of hysterical things to see at Key West, starting with the drunks trying to make their way across the beach. Yet, nothing quite tops this note found inscribed in a crypt: I told you I was sick! Oggles of Oysters Oyster meat isn't something you think about eating in bulk, but it is something harvested and sold in bulk in Florida. Every year, they harvest enough Apalachicola Bay oysters to cover a football field with meat three times.
Every football player runs off the field at some point and chugs down a Gatorade. You can thank the Florida Gators for that, since this University of Florida team was the inspiration for the drink's name. Fur Babies You like to cuddle with fuzzy, warm babies with four legs, but you have never cuddled with a baby bobcat, cougar or leopard yet. These fuzzy babies can give you an hour of warmth if you make a $100 donation to a refuge on Easy Street. This bed and breakfast establishment sits at the outskirts of Tampa and offers an exciting time that you don't normally plan when going away on vacation. Money in Skates Rollerbladers rolling along the beach in Miami were the inspiration for the very first ATM machine. The machine was originally developed to allow these rollerbladers easy access to money. Most people don't have time for leisurely rollerblading sessions today, but we all make use of this technology from time to time. An End to a Legend Amelia Earhart left for her trip around the world in 1937. The last time she was seen on land was in Miami just before she took off. Sun Worship It is only fitting that the first cream for catching a suntan was developed in Miami Beach. A pharmacist by the name of Benjamin Green was so devoted to the sunning goddesses of the beach that he found a way to make their golden dreams even easier to achieve. State Rivalry Every year the Flora-Bama Beach Bar in Pensacola holds the Mullet toss where thousands of Florida locals come together and toss dead fish into the state of Alabama. It's a stinky affair but with a bit of alcohol from the bar everyone has a stinkin' good time. Get Your Facts Straight If you thought that Florida was the southern most state in the union, this will be one of the more shocking state of Florida facts: Hawaii actually sits more southern than Florida. This is one of the biggest trivia questions missed by people around the world. Save Your Money If you don't like handing your money over to the government, hit up Florida for your next state of residence. They don't require you to pay personal income tax and they have only had a minimum wage since 2004.

Burn Your BridgesYou know what happens when you fall asleep under a salon hair dryer, but in Florida the penalty is taken to the extreme. You can actually get a burning fine.

In Florida it becomes an even bigger nuisance because you are legally required to go tell them their house is on fire.

It is actually illegal in this state to skateboard without a license. Para...What?! Parachuting is great fun in Florida, but for an unmarried woman it is illegal on Sundays.
