The Daily Beast lists America's craziest cities
What makes a city crazy? The Daily Beast thinks it's found a scientific(ish) method for figuring that out-- by looking at the number of psychiatrists per capita as well as survey data on drinking and stress. Our own Mike Barish contributed to the list, which includes hard-to-believe factoids like...
- In Birmingham, Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.
- "Gamblers looking to make an apt political statement should visit Las Vegas' Main Street Station Casino, where male patrons are invited to relieve themselves on a large chunk of the Berlin Wall."
- A retired plumber from San Antonio named Barney Smith has a museum dedicated to his 600 decorated toilet seats.
Which city took the top honor for craziness? You might be surprised. Head on over there to find out.

Glad to see Louisville made the list--the hometown of Muhammad Ali and Hunter S. Thompson is definitely a weird place.

Kansas City did it again... made the list of crazies and a list of smart cities. Must be depending on who you are or who you ask! bit.ly/93LMdO
