The BullDada News Blog
"The High Weirdness Project's BullDada Newsblog is a repositorium for links to temporary "news items" that are Slackful and BullDada worthy. (Many of the news items here came from the SubGenius newsgroup alt.slack.) While links to "funny" news stories are certainly allowed and encouraged here, we are also interested in news bulletins that are meant to be "serious" â yet which are so unbelievable, you'd have to wonder what those people were smoking when they wrote this stuff!"
