Why Doesn't Anyone Remember Brimbaw, Texas?

Brimbaw

The Weekly World News is carrying a disturbing story. Excerpts:

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are looking high and low for Brimbaw, Texas, a once-booming financial center of 1.2 million people that investigators say vanished from the face of the earth on June 17, leaving behind just one man who remembers it.

“This is like something out of the Twilight Zone — and the more I think about it, the weirder it gets,” says an FBI agent working the strange case from a field office in Dallas.

“When it comes to hard evidence, there’s precious little — but what we do have is intriguing: A brick that apparently is all that’s left of the 67-story bank building that anchored Brimbaw’s skyline. We’ve also got a phone book with residential listings for ‘Greater Brimbaw’ — including smaller towns that are missing, too, places like Zuckert, Flinne, Morely and Billy Graham City.

“Now that’s bizarre.” The Department of Homeland Security is helping to investigate the case because the disappearance of a city, in the words of an insider, “has national security implications, especially if terrorists had anything to do with it. “But we’re looking at alternative explanations, too.

  1. I’m more concerned about WWN’s “Kim Jong Il Turns Cannibal” story. Axis of Evil World Tour, here we come!

  3. SO thats what must have happened to all those “real” Christains that existed alongside the Catholic Church before the 16th Century.

  4. Is it possible that the world’s largest cat ate this Texas town?

    Does Ed Anger still write for the Weekly World News? If so, how many times has he urged the U.S. government to deport Kerry and Edwards to the Middle East (or possibly France)?

  5. Is Jimmy joking?

    Wekly World News is sooo tabloid it’s not even funny. The entire newspaper is pretty blantantly satirical. None of it’s real.

  7. In honor of Mr. Greydanus standing in:

    May Mackenzie : Charlie, hand me the paper.

    Charlie Mackenzie : Mom, I find it interesting that you call The Weekly World News “the paper.” A paper contains facts.

  8. Reading this weblog entry, I thought, “Hmm, sounds like something that could have run in the Weekly World News.”

  9. May: This paper contains facts! “Pregnant Man Gives Birth” That’s a fact!

    I did find a true article in WWN once… <.<

  11. I’m in collage and we read this and had to do a report about it and weather we think its BS or not. i said it was BS…
