News of the Weird
Bizarre but true stories about real people collected by syndicated columnist Chuck Shepherd.
By the Way, What Stories Have Been No-Longer-Weirded?
Eighty such themes have occurred so frequently that they have been “retired from circulation” since News of the Weird began publishing in 1988, and here are some of them:
–Carjacking, as a crime of youth, frequently involves perps who commandeer stick-shift cars they never learned how to drive.
–Suspects fleeing the police near the water decide to swim for freedom, and drown.
–Remember, years ago, when we thought it weird that perverts would hide tiny video cameras in public restrooms?
–And can you remember far back enough when you thought it was weird that some women kept too many cats around?
