Product Description:
All the news that's not fit to print! Browse through this fascinating compendium of the best of the Weekly World News and you'll never look at the world the same way again.
Admit it. You've sneaked a peek at the supermarket checkout. Where else could you find the scoop on which senators are aliens, or Saddam and Osama's torrid love affair? Serious newshounds know the Weekly World News (which counts over a million beings as readers) broke the story that Elvis still lives, but it also has exclusives on what kind of pizza was served at Jesus' last supper, who's the father of the Loch Ness monster's baby, and (of course) the various escapades of Bat Boy, the half man/half bat found in a West Virginia cave almost 15 years ago. For the dedicated follower of the fantastic, and for the uninitiated too, Bat Boy Lives! contains all these vital dispatches and much more. Because the truth...is in here.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - WARNING: Just like a comedy album, this book will get old!
But I still give it five stars. I do so because I'm so happy that the creators of the Weekly World News put this book out, otherwise, I'd feel like a loser trying to colelct as many old issues as I could.
Will there ever be another periodical as great or informative as the WWN? I don't see any coming on the horizon. Even the WWN's website is down!
It all makes me depressed. But I can cheer up with one fact, that even though the Weekly World News is dead, Bat Boy still lives!
Rating:  - If you have seen Men in Black . . .
. . . then you understand why this coffee-table size book is a must have for your reference library, especially since the Weekly World News recently quit publishing. This thing would be hilarious, if it weren't so true. My only disappointment was that, while the book includes the excellent article explaining that Abe Lincoln was female (yes folks, "Babe" Lincoln), the editors neglected to include a related and one of my all time favorite WWN articles: "Woman Gives Birth to Abe Lincoln" (that is WITH beard). You'll enjoy this.
Rating: - So funny
My dad loved this book...he used to collect the newspapers to get his students interested in reading something...anything!
Rating: - set your faces to stun
This and the Holy Bible are the only two books you need.
I continue to be baffled why folks believe The New York Times but not the Weekly World News. The WWN has *never* had to print a retraction or correction. It is the journalistic standard to which the Columbia Review of Journalism should benchmark.
Modern documentation off what Old Scratch is up to.
You may want to get a copy of "Let's Pave the Stupid Rainforest and Give Teachers Stun Guns."
Rating: - Weekly Word News Lives on in this WONDERFUL book.
Heard the Weekly World News isn't going to be publishing it's funny newspaper anymore. Was so sorry to hear this. Always loved reading the headlines as I waited in the grocery store line. Maybe should have purchased the paper every time I laughed at a headline and they'd still be in business. This book brings all the top of the tops in Weekly World News back. VERY well produced and all the articles will make you laugh out loud.
From President Clinton's 3 breasted intern to blobs from space eating farmer's trucks it's all here.
HIGHLY recommended.
