Florida Man Googles self to find out which Florida Man he is

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — It turns out there's a "Florida Man" in all of us.
A social media challenge is encouraging people to look up what version of Florida Man they are based on their birthdays.

Florida Man has become shorthand for a unique brand of news story mined from the Sunshine State that usually involves guns, drugs, booze or reptiles — often in startling combination.

The challenge asks people to run their birthday and "Florida Man" through a search engine to find out which Florida Man headline pops up. Then, like all good things, they must post the result on social media.

The challenge has become a social media sensation, which isn't surprising given that the Florida Man concept crept into the nation's consciousness with the @—FloridaMan Twitter account in 2013.
