The only newspaper that dared to tell the truth about aliens visiting the White House, bigfoot love babies, three-headed prostitutes, the world's fattest pets, Elvis' post-death fast food career, and, of course the adventures of 'Bat Boy' has ceased publication.

It will continue as an online publication, but it's just not the same.  Bluesad

Reading those was like drinking a lard milkshake.  It might be satisfying, but you just knew they weren't good for you.  Reading the covers was always something I liked to do, because they were hilariously funny.  The one you posted is a good example.

Indeed! How are we supposed to keep track of who is shacking up with bigfoot each month?

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

When I was a Graduate Assistant in the History Dept. I had my wall papered with WWN front pages . . . and a copy of Heironymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights.  Students coming in were too distracted to complain about their grades . . . .

Thatīs shocking news... I went to school in Texas for half a year (being German) back in the early 90s. Of the tons of paper work (mostly school stuff) I only kept back some issues of the Weekly World News to this very day. They even once covered a story from Germany, some boy scouts ripping off their hands in a tug of war, which later turned out to be, basically, true.

Now thatīs another  internationally operating well informed in-deep investigatig piece of journalism going down - it will be missed!

In the words of Luke Skywalker...

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  THATS NOT TRUE!"

I am kind of devastated by this news.  I have a huge book they put out with a collection of their stuff though.   Bluesad

I usually don't believe that stuff, but the one about bigfoot's baby...hmmm...if bigfoot was gonna do some lovin' with a human-type chick, I imagine that's what he'd go for.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
