Weird News of the 20th Century
The first post was made on WU on July 30, 2008, and since that time we've explored many strange and unusual subjects. But unfortunately, it's difficult to browse through the back catalog of all that we've posted about, unless someone is willing to wade through the category or month-by-month archives, which aren't designed for easy browsing.
In an attempt to address this problem (or, at least, begin to address it) I've put together a gallery of Weird News of the 20th Century. I've added the menu to navigate this gallery at the top of the page. (It's the list of decades that you should see right below the WU banner and google ad.) The gallery is still a work-in-progress, but it's got enough content to go live.
I designed the gallery with new visitors to the site especially in mind, hoping it can serve as an introduction to all the weirdness we explore and give them something to look at beyond just the main page.
But, of course, long-time WUvies may find some things in the gallery that they missed. Enjoy!

Nicely done, Alex. I perused a few years and must say that the layout design appears well done.
I see that some of the black / white illustrations are colorized. I especially liked the treatment (pun intended) for the picture accompanying the story of the woman whose hair turned green after a perm.
