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!
