The Weird Side of the Internet
Ultimate Petty – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. There should be a second Guinness Book of World Records, like an alternate book, the “Dark Guinness” book. Like the most crack sold in a single house in a single day, or the person with the most VDs at once. The most […]
Dodging Bullets – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Two kids, friends. Smoking weed, talking smack. Gun afficionados or maybe just badasses. One friend tells the other he can dodge bullets. Again, smoking weed. Two guns and they go into the garage. One unloads, the other zen’s himself for the dodge. […]
Ding-Dong-Dash – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. I remember one time, when I was a kid living in North Albany, that I was a delinquent. Actually, I remember being a delinquent more than one time, but in this instance, my and my buddy were eggin’. Full dozen of eggs in […]
Pigeon Heist – The Weird Side of the Internet – Liam Sweeny. Pigeons can be the bane of urban existence, nature’s very own, indiscriminate whitewasher. Granted, they look cool, I think they do, anyway, and they’re really just rogue doves. Imaging releasing pigeons at a wedding? Pigeons and dollar-store plates and glasses – guarantee that […]
Genius Afterlife – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. If the smartest person on the planet told you what happened when you die, would you believe them? I think it depends, for me. For example, if they told me that a brain study done at the point of death says this […]
Bat Guano – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. I’ve never grown pot, but I was a stoner for years back when you couldn’t get it at a dispensary. And inevitably I’d be in my dealer’s house, one of them anyways, and a bearded, grizzled libertarian type that I knew had […]
Runways of the Dead – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. When I lived in Troy, I lived on a hill that led up to HVCC, and as far as I was told, the end of my street fed into what was at one time a nail factory, and at one […]
Cleaning Bandits – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Sometimes I read an article and jump to the conclusion, and sometimes I jump too far, and sometimes not far enough. I don’t know where I landed on this one. Okay, so it was in Nova Scotia, and the Mounties advising people […]
100 Raccoons – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Imagine feeding the pigeons, and hundreds of them show up, start climbing on you, pecking at you, tuck bibs into their neck feathers and pull out plastic silverware they found in a fast food parking lot? Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t feed the […]
A Killer’s DNA – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Epigenetics. Yup, it’s science time. Or maybe pseudoscience, or something in between. Epigenetics is the theory that things you pick up or go through in life somehow gets carried into your genetics, or DNA, or whatever. So if you develop a […]
