Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Maybe it is vague out of caution to avoid a lawsuit.
Or maybe it's vague because the court records were destroyed by evil evolutionists. But let's apply some common sense here - your story is written like an urban legend, and doesn't contain any facts which would allow us to check its veracity. It didn't happen.
How do we know we can trust snopes??
Because they research their claims. You don't.
I did not take it seriously but I am not fool enough to try to discredit it without personally researching the
Florida court records.
No, you're fool enough to believe it even though it's written like fiction and entirely unverifiable. If you didn't take it seriously, you wouldn't be so enthusiastic about attacking those who are bright enough to know an urban legend when they see it.

I say "Nuts to Florida," and let's let the atheists decide if they want April 1st as a national holiday. If they do, we need to recognize it as such*, and if they don't, that's fine too.
* Zoo admissions could be free, for example; and monkey bars could be built in all state parks - (as a monument, that is).

We atheists really just want a single day out of the year so we can do those things which are most important to us:
1. Eating kittens
2. Robbing liquor stores
3. Tripping old ladies trying to cross the street
4. Burning flags
5. Enjoying really sweet desserts
6. Checking Lexis-Nexis for Florida court cases.
Is it too much to ask for just one day outta the year? I mean, really!

What?
Noe sexual depravity?
What about Darwin's birthday, or the date of Origin's published date?
My fave atheist holiday is Newton day, when we celebrate the birth of one of the greatest minds to have ever lived (except for his religious beliefs, of course!)

I try to do that every day, so I don't need a holiday for it.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain hights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings. How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare the soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay with courage to behold restless day, and count it fair.

Sorry AV, this has been taken already.
Just google 'Archbishop of Canterbury' and you'll see he needs a day all to himself, how apt it is named after him as well.
Mind you, thought the pope comes a close second after his christmas day exorcism rant.......
