A very
entertaining column by
Chuck Shepherd that appears
weekly in a
variety of
newpapers (usually free
city papers and student
publications) around the country (possibly the
world?).
Specializes in reporting
strange and
bizzare (but
true) news stories from around the
globe.
A good example of a
typical News of the Weird story (from last week's
installment) is:
"A 62-year-old
woman thought a
stranger punched her in the
neck, but it was a
stabbing, and the
4-
inch knife remained in her neck for
40 minutes while she
grocery-shopped before a
passerby pointed it out to her (
Darby Township, PA)."
