The Washington Post reports that the Weekly World News, the black and white supermarket tabloid that "reported" news such as Bigfoot's wife-stealing tendencies before The Onion was even a spark in Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson's neurons, is dying.
The newsroom in its heyday sounds like it was, if not quite as wonderful as being Queen of Atlantis, the closest thing to a perfect workplace I can personally imagine. I love the description of the paper's evolution from celebrity stalking to weird-but-true news to sidesplitting fiction.
RIP.
