In South Florida, police said two people died at the free anchorage outside Dinner Key Marina and several people were missing. ''Quite a few house boats turned over,'' said Miami Police Chief John Timoney. ``I wouldn't be surprised if we find a few more bodies.''

And you thought people living in trailer parks in Tornado Alley were stupid? Having a float house in an area that regularly gets hammered by hurricanes is foolish enough, but actually staying in a float-house during a hurricane is worthy of a Darwin Award.

Florida is full of all the peeps that were rejected from the other 49 states.
