    Which Countries are Free of COVID-19?

    ByWeird World Wire Team September 24, 2020September 24, 2020

Unsurprisingly 10 of these countries are in the Pacific, a region famously the Least Visited on earth and also notorious for…

    LSD History and Impact on Culture

    ByWeird World Wire Team August 15, 2020August 15, 2020

    I imagine most of you have heard of LSD, also known as acid or Lucy. You probably picture the hippy movements of the 60s or people tripped out of their minds, screaming at a melting world as they slip into insanity. It’s hard to deny that it’s a powerful cultural icon in its own right,…

    ByWeird World Wire Team August 8, 2020

    I admit, I went a bit far with the title in terms of comparing two very different cultures. But you know what? Sometimes people from opposite parts of the world can have common traditions without knowing it. As a result of my dizzying travels around the world, I’ve learned that both groups have at least one…

    10 Weird Flags (2020)

    ByWeird World Wire Team August 5, 2020August 5, 2020

    Many a bayonet charge has been sent forward by a king on the battlefield fed lies by military corruption. When soldiers head off to sometimes certain death, it is usually stated that they are doing it to protect their flag. We have therefore decided to put together 10 Weird Flags, in fact flags so weird…

    ByWeird World Wire Team August 1, 2020

    Even if you are not all that into North Korea, there is a decent chance you would have seen, or heard of Chairman Kim Jong-Un. You will also probably (we hope) be aware that he is the son of the second leader of North Korea, General Kim Jong-Il. For people with a slightly geekier knowledge…

    Hakarl – The Food That Stinks of Piss

    ByWeird World Wire Team July 28, 2020July 28, 2020

    There are a number of foods that are either so rancid, so poisonous, or both that you honestly wonder how they were discovered in the first place. We present Hakarl – the food that stinks of piss. I’ll never forget when I first read about puffer fish from Japan and how many people it killed….
