Be careful, apparently, it's a hacking thing to try to get people's DOB, linked to their Social Media accounts:

"Sure, if you've locked your social media account down so that only friends can see your posts and information and that information already includes your birth date, this sort of thing is relatively harmless. But if you are posting in response to the Florida Man Challenge publicly, it offers others an opportunity for bad actors to collect information that includes your birthdate—just one more tool they can use to attempt to socially engineer their way into your accounts and other personally identifying or financial data. And once it's out there, it won't go away.

The Florida Man Challenge may have begun as an innocent social experiment; one of the earliest posters on Twitter said she found it in someone's Tumblr account. But there have been similar Twitter memes that have raised suspicion"


P.S. I only found this out after doing it! I got "Florida man tries to board plane with rocket propelled grenade launcher." and "Florida man finds WWII grenade and brings it to Taco Bell."

I don't really buy that stuff. You don't put the year in anyway it's just the month and day, so there's a 1 in 366 chance of them guessing that anyway, ha. If it was more along the lines of "what's your mother's maiden name / first pet's name?" then they'd have a case. :LOL:
