MIAMI, FL — If you didn't have the patience for the Mannequin Challenge and you lacked the moves for the Running Man Challenge, you just may have been holding out for the Florida Man Challenge to come along.

You won't get doused with ice water and you probably won't break anything — except possibly your computer — when you knock it over laughing.

It works like this: Simply Google "Florida man" followed by the month and day of your birthday. The entire challenge is based on Florida's well deserved reputation for crazy news headlines.
