We have this theory that there's something weird about literally every location. So we asked our contributors to show us the weirdest, most puzzling facts about famous cities. Turns out we were right.
For example, whats the deal with the venomous un-killable spiders from South America that ended up in Helsinki? How did they get there? We have to imagine at least one intern got canned for that. It’s gotta be in the job description: “no venomous un-killable spiders from South America.” It really should go without saying.
