What's the best date for a new couple? Dinner and a movie? A concert? A rave? Maybe something cultural like a museum? Or perhaps a steep climb up a rugged Alpine mountain. In Winter. At night? And, it turns out, your date is kind of an a-hole.

In our first Weird World Weird New Weird Bit (WWWNWB, rolls off the tongue), we report on the recently released UFO files. Some puzzled astronauts, some grainy pictures, and some pretty odd red hot orbs highlight the declassified files. Let's explore.

What if it wasn't just RFK, Jr. driving away the best scientists in America? What if someone was abducting or killing the nation's best brains? The leading researchers on nuclear power, space technology and, let's say, plasma physics? Well maybe someone is.

Part 2 of the Zodiac case focuses on the the potential additional victims of the killer that may have gone unnoticed. But Zodiac is probably most famous as the serial killer who was  never caught. Or was he? Let's discuss.

America’s most famous monster cemented his status as much with his attention-seeking toying with press and police as he did with his demented deeds. In part 1, we explore both Zodiac’s actions and his incessant calls to be noticed.

Was there a Zodiac murder before we knew the name? The method was similar, the victim, and then the boasting letters to the police and papers. But this was years before Zodiac claimed his first victims… That we know of.

Maybe he had done a stretch in prison, but Talia's Dad Larry was still awesome. And maybe it was weird when he started crashing in her dorm. Her roommates loved him. And maybe some people misunderstood those strange things he was asking your roommates to do - Oh, wait. This is Larry Ray's story, and if Billy Zane plays you in a movie, you know you have made some bad decisions. 

The two boys who had seen the UFO crash in the New Mexico months before Roswell waited until they were old men to tell their story. They had dates and names and even a piece of the alien craft made from this exotic, unearthly metal called "aluminum." But at least their story was consistent--  Oh, wait...

Most folks date the modern UFO era from 1947. Kenneth Arnold saw those skipping saucers in Washington and Roswell became extraterrestrial crash landing central. But what if an alien craft smashed into the New Mexican desert two years before Roswell? And what if it was right after, and right next to, the first atomic explosion?

In 2019, a niche website focused on e-commerce made a passing reference to some minor legal trouble the head of eBay was in. Months of surveillance, harrassment, and death threats later, and the world knew not to mess with eBay. This is not so much of David vs. Goliath story. This is more the story of Goliath jumping David in a dark alley and David left wondering what the hell he did to piss off Goliath.
