Location, Location
It's all about location right? So why exactly did Walt Disney choose to build his theme park on top of a swamp? More importantly, how did he make it work, and turn his park into the success that it is today? Well, as always, the answer is location. Disney needed a site that was close to main roads, so that the park would be easily accessible. Furthermore, studies also showed that he needed a location on the East Coast. When Disney figured out that swamp land was inexpensive in Florida, and that there would be an airport nearby, he was sold. It's a good thing too because where would society be without the Happiest Place on Earth?

Animal Relations
Did Florida ban sex? According to at least one scholar, the state's new law against bestiality might have done just that. But, don't get your panties all in a knot too quickly because most of the people interviewed say that the law would most likely not be taken to that extreme by the courts. Still, this is an interesting case that demonstrates the importance of word choice.
