Weird

There's Weird Lake in Minnesota. 47 acres, maximum depth 6'. That's kinda weird. Ain't sure why it's named Weird though. Could be cause it's next to other weird named lakes (Finger Lake, Thumb Lake, Tick Lake, Crooked Lake, Sauna Lake and of course, Weeny Lake.)

Ya got Weird Al Yankovic, he got his start on the Dr. Demento radio show in 1975 at age 16.

There's plain Weird, a fictional DC Comics character.
