In case you were wondering - and I'm pretty sure no one was - how the Weekly World News found its way into our football pool, there are three reasons. The first is that completely accurate headline. The second is that the print edition of the WWN has just this month become defunct (so you'll need some other way to amuse yourself while the cashier runs a price check on the Charmin). The third is this awesome quote I ran across the other day from one of WWN's editors, explaining how the tabloid survived as long as it did:
A guy calls up The New York Times and says, 'My toaster's talking to me.' The Times hangs up on him. And then he calls us up and says, 'My toaster's talking.' We say, 'OK, put the toaster on. We want to talk to him.'
