Florida is downright wacky at times. Here are five weird things I bet you didn’t know about the Sunshine State.
1. Unmarried women are legally forbidden from parachuting on Sundays.
2. Tying an elephant to a parking meter requires paying the meter as if it were a car.
3. Doors in public buildings must open outward for hurricane safety.
4. Siesta Key beach sand is 99% pure quartz crystal, making it cool to the touch.
5. The St. Johns River (near Jacksonville) is one of few major rivers in the U.S. that flows north.
