V unwise for all sorts of reasons. But I have to admit that I am immature enough that it made me laugh. A lot.

Maybe it is coincidence, but lately Birmingham shows up in a lot of these bizarre news stories. Is Birmingham to the UK what Florida is to the US?

EDIT: Also BBC missed out on a bunch of mediocre word plays with 'high' in this article. I guess they didn't want to take them away from local news.

Great post! Very enlightening...


(The region may be having issues with drugs and might be trying to emulate "Floridaman." But, Floridaman would have married that lampost, then bought it a six-pack and would have gotten angry that it didn't like his choice of beer, so he would have argued with it, loudly, left, screwed an innocent alligator on a golf course, stolen a truck and then run over the lampost with it in revenge... All while naked, of course. Bath salts is a helluva drug.)

For your enjoyment, the hero we deserve... (Warning - Often adult/extreme subject matter/content. Not nudity, just a bucket of wtf. :) )

(Not all of these are true, of course. Some of them are, though. Snopes stays in business by verifying Florida Man articles. :) So, something is happening, somewhere...)

It's pretty impressive he managed to get up there without killing himself, to be honest!

Nobody ever killed themselves by falling up.
