1. Modern Drunkard Magazine - USA
The journal has been published every two months since 1996. Its founder and editor-in-chief, Frank Kelly Rich, once found himself in a city where alcoholism is the leading cause of death, and he came up with the idea of creating a magazine for drunkards. I wrote the first issue myself - I interviewed local alcoholics, to whom I paid 20 dollars. There was no advertisement in the issue, but Frank had put some semblance of it there to make the magazine look more respectable.

The magazine publishes articles about alcohol novelties, as well as about different drinks, rules for their use and hangovers. Typical headlines are: "Binge Drinking During the Crisis," "Famous Athletes Are Alcoholics," "Getting Drunk Alone as a Form of Meditation," or "40 Things Every Alcoholic Should Do Before His Liver Fails." The editor-in-chief's advice is popular: "Always say a toast before knocking over a stack. And don't forget to change it at least once a month", "Learn to appreciate a hangover. After all, it was worth it yesterday. So stop whining today" and so on.

Now the magazine has 5 full-time employees and 20 freelancers. Real advertisers also appeared (mainly manufacturers of moonshine stills and craft alcohol). There is a bar in the editorial office, where smoking and drinking are allowed (without the latter, as Rich says, no one even sits down to work). Circulation - 50 thousand copies.

2. Miniature Donkey Talk - USA
The magazine began publication 25 years ago and was only three pages about the sale of small donkeys and their care. But soon it became a full-fledged publication, which artiodactyl lovers read in America, Canada and other countries. However, none of the issues contained information about a real talking donkey, as one might hope based on the name.

The magazine's founders, Bonnie and Mike Gross, have been farming for 30 years. Basically, donkeys are raised - there used to be 85 of them. The magazine was created to sell animals and look for care assistants. It quickly gained popularity among farmers, so soon the publishers were left with only 15 donkeys, which allowed them to delve into the publication of the magazine - now it publishes information about proper care, diseases, whims and characteristics of donkeys.

Now the publication can be obtained by signing up for an annual subscription to the online version for $20 (1700 rubles). 

3. T-Post magazine - Sweden
This monthly magazine is unusual in that it is printed not on paper, but on T-shirts. The one-of-a-kind media outlet was first released by Swede Peter Lundgreen in 2004. Its main idea is that information printed on paper is short-lived, fabric is another matter. The slogan of the publication reads: "The first magazine that you can wear". Often, a bright, eye-catching cover is placed on the front, and articles are placed on the back. Materials are published in a variety of ways: about events in the world of fashion, social problems, politics and medicine.

4. Found magazine ("Found magazine", or "Wanted") - USA
The magazine is dedicated to things that have been lost: items of clothing, love letters, tickets, poems on napkins left in a café, lost socks. The material is supplied by the readers themselves: they simply send to the editorial office things lost by someone. If you suddenly find an item that belongs to you on the pages of the magazine, you can write a letter to the editor with a request to return it.

Davey Rothbart started this strange collection when in 2000 he found a note on his car to a certain Mario, in which the upset girl accused the addressee of cheating and informed him about the breakup. It was then that he decided to create a journal about similar notes from all over the world. Already in 2001, the first issue was ready for publication. Soon, from an ordinary magazine, it grew into an almanac, which is subscribed to by readers from different countries.

5. La Bougie du Sapeur (Sapper's Candle) - France
This newspaper is published every four years on February 29. It got its name in honor of the merry hero from French comics, whose biography says that he was born on February 29.

In 1980, several young people decided to publish a magazine as a joke, which would be published only in February leap years. Strange as it may seem, with the very first issue, the magazine became quite popular. To date, 12 issues have already been published, the circulation is 200 thousand copies. At the time of creating the issue, he provides employees with food and drinks, and they are looking for the most interesting information for 4 years.

"Sapper's Candle" has the same headings as most ordinary newspapers: "Economics", "Politics", "Science", "Culture". A crossword puzzle is also published, the answers to which readers learn only 4 years later.

In 2004, the first Sunday issue was published, the second is scheduled for 2032.

6. "Taymyr" - Russia
The newspaper is printed in six languages and is listed in the Russian Book of Records. Articles are published in Russian, as well as in the languages of the indigenous peoples of the Far North - Dolgan, Evenk, Nganasan, Enets, Nenets. It has been published since 1932 and aims to preserve the identity and cultural heritage of the aborigines of the Taimyr Peninsula.

7. New York Times – USA
The thickest newspaper that has ever been published is the September 14, 1987 issue of the New York Times. It had 1612 pages, weighed 5.4 kg and contained 1,200,000 (one million two hundred thousand!) advertisements. 19 pages with marriage ads, 300 - about politics, analytical reviews, comments and messages, 160 pages with photo reports, 140 - about fashion, 64 literary pages, 30 - on economics and 13 about sports.

8. Terra Nostra (Our Land) - Portugal
Terra Nostra produced a circulation that was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest newspaper in the world. Its weight was 1 gram, and its size was 18.27 mm x 25.35 mm.

9. Life - USA
The first issue of Life magazine, published in 1936, featured a picture of a newborn named George Story and the headline "Life Begins." Then essays from George's life were periodically published: how he grew up, got married, had children and moved up the career ladder.

In March 2000, the magazine announced its impending closure, and a month later, George Storey died of heart failure. The last issue of the magazine was published with the headline "A Life Ends".

10. Lemon - USA
The originality of the magazine lies in its smell, which has nothing to do with the smell of printing ink or, as is fashionable in some women's magazines, perfume. Between the pages with articles about fashionable clothes, scented pages with the smell of lemon, orange and other citrus fruits are inserted. The creators of the magazine believe that with such flavors, the reader will certainly have a desire to read even the most boring article to the end.
