Today in bonkers Florida news, a man arrested for cocaine in Key West has argued that he thought, uh, cocaine was, uh, legal in Florida...

The Sunshine State may be bananas, but it ain't that crazy, dude. Still, props for creative on-the-spot thinking! (Because it's related and, eh, why not, click here for more dumb-criminal fodder.)

Noooo! Donut Shop Won't Sell Donuts

Imagine walking into a place called Honey Dew Donuts, ready to secretly splurge on a tasty bag of donut holes, only to learn...there are no donuts! In Quincy, Mass., a donut shop opening inside a Y has decided that, due to its fitness-focused location, only coffee, low-fat muffins, salads, yogurt and other healthy items should be sold.

Hannah's Slacker Boyfriend on Girls Set to Play Star Wars Villain

Adam Driver, he of the tortured relationship with Lena Dunham's character on Girls, is reportedly set to play a Darth Vader-esque villain in J.J. Abrams' hotly anticipated upcoming Star Wars reboot.

The BBC's nerdy Sherlock Holmes as bad-ass Khan from Star Trek? (Oh, wait...)

Yeah, ok, this might be fine after all.
