News of the Weird Posted: 1 year ago by keroberos32
For some readers, News of the Weird is a light diversion from the serious reporting of the week. For others, though, it's a weekly chronicle of the alarming decline of civilization. Or a therapeutic personal benchmark (for reassurance that the problem is other people, not you). Or, for the few who actually wind up in News of the Weird, a monument to lives interestingly lived.
I hope it's not a dupe, I searched and could not find it

"We're a content provider for the rest of the country, if not the world," a long-time Florida resident told ABC News.

Take a walk on the weird side... Posted: 3 years ago by robfouryqr
Searching for weirdness online is like searching for hay in a haystack. It’s everywhere.
Rest assured, none of the boring or dodgy stuff has made it into Yahoo!’s trawl of the Weird Wide Web. These sites are in turn funny, interesting, curious and mind bogglingly strange. They represent the weird hobby of thousands, or the mad obsession of just a single web-head. They cover things that were strange before the Web was ever invented, and nuttiness purely of the Internet age.
Welcome to Yahoo UK"s Top 100 Weird Web Sites

Water, good ol' H2O, seems like a pretty simple substance to you and me. But in reality, water - the foundation of life and most common of liquid - is really weird and scientists actually don't completely understand how water works.

Latest Japanese Trend: Weird Themed Cafes Posted: 2 years ago by deepcleanfun
Japan's vibrant, fast-moving culture delivers daily doses of the weird, wild and wonderful! Take, for example, theme cafes. First popularized by nerdy "otaku" 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!
