City hall: Public art Spiderman hands confused for devil horns, called anti-Christian

The sculpture of red-and-black hands shooting a spiderweb near the Lincoln Children's Zoo offended a Lincoln woman so much she wrote to Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird demanding city action.

"It is a sculpture of two hands open, painted Red & Black, and formed into Devil Horns," she wrote in an email Friday, calling the art anti-Christian, demonic, and completely inappropriate for showcase near a family attraction.

She demanded the city move the 6-foot Spiderman sculpture because it's ugly, perverse and a "hate crime against the church."

They don't let her out much, do they?

Turns out this series of sculptures are a fundraiser for Youth for Christ.

"There were no reports of milkshakes bringing any boys to the yard, but a fracas at a Florida Five Guys did bring cops to the restaurant — and five guys were arrested.

...
Police were called at about 12:30 p.m. A woman who witnessed the incident told authorities that one of the males was “talking s---” to another, a cup was thrown, and a door to the restaurant was slammed in someone’s face before an “all out brawl” broke out, according to an arrest report the department released Thursday.

Keith Morine of Palm City and Loren Perine of Stuart, both 18, were arrested and taken to the Martin County Jail. The minors were fingerprinted and booked, and later released to a parent."

Did you ever do the “Florida man” thing with your birthdate in google? Always a winner.
Here for example is mine, in the fact the first two results are awesome:

Thing is it works with other states too. I think Florida is probably being unfairly maligned as being a hotbed of weird behaviour.
I just tried it with a randomly chosen UK county and got this:

Different Rutland to the one in the UK, granted, but at least it ain't Florida (it's Massachusetts in case you're interested)

Florida Man Wearing Crocs Attacked After Jumping Into Crocodile Exhibit At St. Augustine Alligator Farm

the story

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...a-man-2/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5ff00909ffb8

Hatfield finds it hard to separate the fact from the fiction of what took place on the night of Nov. 5, 2018, for a few reasons. That night, at a Best Western not far from the Fountain of Youth theme park in St. Augustine, America’s oldest city, he was drinking Jack Daniel’s. He’s sure the whiskey led to smoking weed, but he’s not as clear on how that led to fentanyl, Ecstasy and whatever else ended up in his toxicology report. He remembers the rest of the night in “blackout splatches,” which have since mixed with the stories he’s heard about himself: how he jumped into a crocodile pool at a local zoological park after hours, got bit by an American crocodile, and barely escaped with his life — but not his Crocs shoes, which were found floating in the water the next day. Next thing he knew, he was waking up “at the hospital shackled to a bed with my foot gnawed off.”

Yeah, it's a bit of an odd story. I know the pub and it's usually pretty chilled
