by Arthur Candell There is much dispute concerning the invention of the airplane. While the United States claims that Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first heavier-than-air flight on December 17, 1903. Russia claims that it was there that the first flight took place. Several other countries dispute the U.S. and Russian claims, and take…
by Nils Erwin Length: About 6 pages I HAD MY FIRST BABY-SITTING JOB THE OTHER NIGHT. It was tough assignment, 3 kids – 24-hours. The parent was a family friend, Mandy, who seemed to have adopted the absurd notion that I was the man for the job, and moreover, that I should also be paid…
-Sci-Fi – 3 Pages – Package runner Alpha One-Six, nicknamed `Zeep’ to endear him to Joe Public and his slobbering troglodyte family, had only been distracted for four hundredths of a second. But in that time, he’d somehow managed to collide with a stationary object; unwittingly knocking out his GPS, comm-link, and access to the…
I awoke knowing the link had been severed. Tears stung my cheeks as I yanked the blankets off my body and stumbled out of bed, feeling sick and disoriented. By the time I made it to the bathroom sink in anticipation of throwing up my late night trip to Taco Bell, the feeling had thankfully…

I am currently seeking investors for a business opportunity involving an idea I came up with. I will go ahead and tell it to you because I know that nobody can pull it off but me and I don’t have to worry about somebody else swooping in and stealing my idea. Except maybe Newman. But…
Off we went, towards the fields. Antennas were ripped off of cars and used to whip Bob as he lead the way. Clothes were pulled off, wrapped around antenna and lit on fire. It felt like yet another Hallmark movie. Soon, some people were naked, especially those with the makeshift torches. The ones whipping Bob…
By Bob SenitramBecause nonsense don’t make itself… If you’re wondering about the 25 year history of TheWeirdcrap.com and thinkin’ “If they started the same time as Google, shouldn’t that site be a muliti-billion dollar industry by now?” Seems like it, but we don’t got much smarts in the business sense, heck, we can barely afford…
Sci-Fi – 12 Pages – Chapter 1 The Wall Copernicus is a colony on Mung. Mung is a shitty planet. That’s why they called it Mung. They were trying to think of something nice and Latin sounding like Mungolytude or something but they had named, like, forty planets that morning and couldn’t be bothered with…
9 Pages Part 3 of 3: “Aw,” said Mr. Sockforahead. “Why’d you close the door? I was gonna peek in real quick and give him a fright. Might’ve even got him to pee his pants. And as for the ‘help me’ nonsense, a fat lot of help he’ll be now that we’ve softened him up.”…
Sci-Fi – 9 Pages “He’s not in Area 51? What do you mean he’s not in Area 51?” said Lou Diamond’s wife. “Then you better go after him.” “But, honey, I-“ “No!” she insisted angrily, her finger outstretched and pointing at the front door. “No buts! Go back to wherever your friggin’ beer-guzzling astronaut friend…
by Joshua Blanc -Strange – 6 Pages – Most kids, Billy’s Mum was apt to tell him, built sandcastles at the beach. Not Billy; he was much happier digging a hole. Sometimes, if he dug deep enough, he would reach the water level and all sorts of strange worms and insects would writhe out of…
Last week, I got to witness the first slim, silver, almond eyed Earthlings as they exited the planet before it was consumed by meteors and reduced to a molten rock floating in space. Now, in my timeless state I witness as our planet cools over a millenium. Continents, oceans and vegetation appear, but they don’t…
Forgive me, but it is time for a rant. Some asshole knocked on my door this morning at 7am (I suspect it was the neighbor), but by the time I determined that there was no smoke / fire and got the shotgun down out of the closet, they were gone. That and I’ve been horribly…
From the editors of theweirdcrap.com: On this past Christmas Day, three hunters came across a young lady lying in the weeds next to a cardboard/wooden pallet contraption that beared a slight resemblance to living quarters. The young lady was screaming as a large object was slithering out from between her legs. The hunters were confused…
Family parties can be difficult. Especially when you’re as fond as saying FUCK as I am… I was sitting too close to the pool where the kiddies were playing and saying fuck this, fuck that, fuckfuckfuckityfuckfuck, and before I knew it, they were crying. Being pissed off at our President for trying his best to…
Leaves’ Eyes—“Vinland Saga” MoTW—“Cherish” And now, back to my non-Oprah approved life story of sickness and,hopefully, self-healing. I was in my room listening to a Dean Martin record when my poppa camehome. I turned down the sound in order to hear my momma telling about myuse of the “f” word in order to get prepared…
