A Note on our Name

The full name of the paper is Weird News: Batteries NOT Included, but from its start it has always been written as Weird News B.N.I. or when abbreviated in print as W.N.B.N.I. Although with a name like Weird News one would expect it to be a paper about news and most likely odd or weird news stories, this is not necessary true. It may not be weird or news, but still be in the paper. This is not to say that the 2nd half of the name is not true. There are no batteries included in this paper. This is not to say that there is any need for batteries when reading this paper. In fact for most of the history of the paper it was handwritten or typed, so there would be no need for batteries at all. If this is at all confusing to you remember it did come from the mind of a pre-teen girl.
