Our April Fool's Day edition highlighting Florida's strange stories so far this year found such favor with readers that we opted to make it a monthly feature.

People in The Keys and parts of Central Florida seemed to offer outsized shares of particularly bizarre behavior during April — especially on the night of Easter in downtown Orlando — but the 24 stories below reveal an entire peninsula's worth of mayhem and mischief.

Tomorrow, we'll return to featuring more serious journalism.
