Harkening back to his days as a reporter of fake news, Gurian’s other forthcoming book is a selection of weird news gathered from around the world, titled “Man Robs Bank with His Chin, and Other Unusual Stories Missed by Mainstream Media.”
That book, published by Micro Publishing Media, features an intro by Scott Dikkers the creator of The Onion, with stories like “Holding Your Own Hand To Combat Loneliness,” “Man Slips On Pat of Butter, Winds Up In Next Town,” and “Mexican Hat Dance Adopted By Sweden.”
“The thing is, I haven’t slept in many years,” Gurian says with a laugh. “I stay up all night researching the whole entire world for the most unusual stories to share with the public.” These, he says, are the stories that somehow get missed by mainstream media but which he feels the public deserves to be aware of. Especially stories like “Man Killed for Giving Girlfriend a Snail Instead of an Engagement Ring,” or “College Professor Fired for Casually Removing his Spine in Class.”
New York Post columnist Cindy Adams once said she figured out the connection between Jeffrey’s fields. She said, “He makes people laugh to see if they have any teeth missing!” That seems about right!
