Randy Cassingham, publisher of the weird news feature This is True, announced Friday (18 March) he would donate most of the proceeds from upgrades to the "Premium" (paid) newsletter to the relief efforts after Japan's magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami.
The nominees for the "weirdest" news story of the year keep streaming in to "This is True", a leading online source of weird-but-true news items. This is True has been covering weird but true news since 1994, and has more than 100,000 online readers in over 200 countries.
In recent months, several particularly weird stories have been added to the nominee pool:
August 12, 2009 -- Imagine if Martha Stewart was part of the Addams Family. She would have probably turned out like Scary Jane, recommending all sorts of creepy and strange products and giving year-round decorating advice usually reserved for Halloween.
