Tampons coming to men's rooms at Brown University
Ooh, ooh! Another WTF item to enjoy. Live and learn...
Extract:
The initiative is intended to communicate the message that "pads and tampons are a necessity, not a luxury," and that not all people who menstruate are women.

Kinda like when my (UK) University handed me the keys to my room complete with rape alarm/whistle and sticker collection (The best bit was the tag line: 'UP for it? on the stickers - with UP being the Uni's nickname)... Great way to start a new city/life!

Re: WTF in America
Police said a Florida man who asked if a bulletproof vest “still worked” was fatally shot by his cousin.
A Tampa police report said 23-year-old Joaquin Mendez put on the vest late on Saturday and “wondered aloud whether it still worked”.
The report said Mendez’s cousin, 24-year-old Alexandro Garibaldi, pulled out a gun and responded: “Let’s see.”
Officers found Mendez outside the house with a gunshot wound in his chest. He died at a hospital.
According to the police report, Garibaldi initially told officers he found his wounded cousin after hearing a gunshot. However, police said a witness described Garibaldi shooting Mendez.
Police said the vest was found inside the house, having sustained a gunshot.
Garibaldi was held on Sunday without bond on a manslaughter charge. Hillsborough County jail records did not show whether he had an attorney.

Re: WTF in America
Woman paid a under cover cop to kill her ex husband, that isnt the really odd part, in the arrest report the lady apparently also told the cop she had thought about him being kidnapped and taken to another country and sold as a sex slave.
Florida again.

If the bag was labelled "HRC", then they might know where to look!

Re: WTF in America
This is from a few years ago, but it's always stuck in my head because of the events... And yes it's from Florida.
Man Makes Beer Stop During Police Chase « 103.7
Guy broke into someones house, spraying mustard over the walls. When the police get there, he takes off - breaking into another house to get beer - before he finally gets arrested.
