"Proof that true stories are weirder than made-up stories"

If you prefer to hear a slightly lighter side of the news, you have to check out News of the Weird. This website has had articles featured in Sideswipe, the humorous column on the back page of the New Zealand Herald and has a large amount of funny and just downright stupid examples of human behaviour. If you like to have a laugh at other people's expense then look through the 'The News" section in which you can also flick back through the archives to read older weird news. The site also features a blog, which Chuck Shepherd (the site creator) calls instead a Supplemental Communication Tool. You can also sign up to receive weekly updates of the news without, apparently, getting your email inbox inundated with other emails. The site is very easy to use and is updated weekly every Sunday, so you know you are getting fresh material to look at. However it is run by an American so favours the US, i.e. on the Weird Map where you can find weird stories from different states in America, but nowhere else in the world.
