Take, for example, theme cafes. First popularized by nerdy &quot;otaku&quot; geeks and then embraced by the public at large, the theme cafe phenomenon shows no sign of running out of steam. Just the opposite - it seems new theme cafes pop up every week, each one seeking to be just a little weirder than what's come before!]]></description><comments>5</comments><score>118</score><crdate>10/8/2007 4:40:47 AM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2007-10-08T04:40:47+01:00</atomdate></link><link><id>65860</id><url>http://www.plime.com/weird/l/65860/1/</url><title><![CDATA[News of the Weird]]></title><description><![CDATA[For some readers, News of the Weird is a light diversion from the serious reporting of the week.
