Possible food poisoning outbreak at Florida State sorority

Looks like I picked the wrong week to visit Florida.

Thirty years before Stephen Colbert used the picture of himself in a picture in a picture, Lloyd Bridges was doing it in the movie, Airplane (right).

And tonight, according to WCTV in Tallahassee, rumors are circulating that more than 70 girls in the Phi Mu house at Florida State University have become very ill and some maybe even hospitalized in a possible outbreak of foodborne illness.

“Some members of the Greek community say it is possible that this outbreak is affecting more than one house and the rumors have many other sororities taking precautions to protect their members.”

Kara Beth Yancey, a FSU sorority member, says her house is going to take more precautions to prevent a similar situation.

"We're not going to stop ordering in but we are going to be a little more cautious on what kind of food we're ordering in."


I wonder what kind of food they’re going to limit the ordering in of? Amy, Courtlynn and me, we’re in Venice, Florida, so maybe we can avoid some of that ordered in food.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to come to Florida. Actually we didn’t. Our most excellent holiday has been extended thanks to Tropical Storm or Hurricane Fay, which is scheduled to hit us in Florida first thing tomorrow morning....
