NEWS of the WEIRD
Sitting down to watch the news or read a newspaper is usually a very disturbing experience. Most of the stories that we are subjected to involve how many people died today, how they died, and why we’re all dying because of what we’re doing to ourselves. Yeah… depressing. Sometimes it’s nice to step away from the news stories that we’re used to, and instead, get up to speed on all of the weird things that human beings are doing. After all, that well will never run dry. To find some of these stories, visit News of the Weird.

Reading this column will probably make you feel a whole bunch better about yourself, which is always a plus.
