Ripley's Believe It or Not

Welcome to the Believe It or Not Hall of Curiosity. Here you'll find a woman reciting 200+ words in 24 seconds, the world's smallest book (a 5/16" x 1/8" tome of the Rubaiyat), a 6-year-old lifting 200 pounds, a man-eating tree, a duck teaching chickens to swim, a two-headed turtle, a man with a suit made of Confederate currency and much, much more. You may not believe all you see. But you will be entertained. A little more than a decade after Robert L. Ripley put pen to paper and captured the imaginations of readers everywhere, he brought his knack for finding the unusual to moviehouses with these 24 Theatrical Shorts that are part travelogue, part human interest, part history, part fanciful, all Ripley -- believe it or not!
