EARTH - Silly News went on line in late September.  Since then, we have published 59 blog entries that have been read by over 2,500 visitors.  Thanks for visiting us, and we hope you've had a few laughs. We'd like to conclude 2012 with a list of our 10 most popular stories of the year, based upon how many times they have been read.  If you've missed any of them, you might want to go to the archive in the right margin and give them a look.  Here is a countdown of our Best of the Best in 2012.
10. Dominatrix Barbie, Nov. 29, 2012 with 28 hits.  A short story with a photo of a new Barbie doll that comes dressed in PVC and fishnet black stockings.
9. No Sign of Birds, Nov. 29, 2012 with 31 hits.  Rainbow Starr's visit to a Florida wildlife sanctuary with some very humorous trail signs.

      In addition to this countdown of our most popular stories, I'd also like to name my personal favorite story from the first year of our publication.  "Worst Hostage Ever" published on Oct. 17, 2012 is about a robber who abducted an expensive sex doll at knife point from a porn shop.  It only had 20 hits, but in my opinion it is the craziest and funniest story so far printed at www.silly-news.com
      Please join us in 2013 for more weird but true news stories from all around the world.
      Happy New Year to All!
