Dean Cain is the host for the new RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Television Show that I enjoy watching very much.
I have only visit one of the Ripley’s Museums, (in Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada), so I knew what to expect.
During this Series we ’’travel the World’’ via our T.V.’s.
A TASTE OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
1.I saw a Lady shooting a bolt of lighting through her tongue.
2.There was an amazing Man who drank a glass of Milk and the Milk came out of his Eyes.
3.Once they showed a Man who had his face being torn apart by a Bear. It was ’’gross’’ to watch but I was happy when I saw he survived.
4.There have been a few People with amazing Psychic Powers.
5.A Man was obsessed with Gnomes that he dresses like he is one. He built and lives in a ’’Gnome-like’’ Cottage. In his Garden he had a thousand of Gnomes.Every room in his Cottage
has well over a hundred Garden Gnomes.
There is a web page that tells you all about this TV Show and the link is:

ROBERT RIPLEY:
’’While he was travelling around the World to visit Museums.
He drew the strange things he saw and brought them back to the United States. These drawings were published in the Cartoon Section on Newspapers.
He began getting drawings from other people to show him what they or a loved one looked like.
He decided to open a Tent in a Circus to help People, (who couldn’t be employed because of their looks), any where else.
Way back then then his Tent was called a ’’Freak Show’’.(I remember being taken to one and I could believe my eyes! I saw a Lady with a moustache and a long beard, a Man with a nose that looked like a small Elephant’s Trunk and a Snake Charmer.)
By the time he died he had 10, 000 Photographs, over 100, 000 Cartoons and over 20, 000 Artifacts in his collection.’’
MY FINAL THOUGHTS:
I’ll end with a quote from P T. Barnum, (The famous Circus Owner), ’’There’s a sucker born every day.’’ When we watch this TV Show are we ’’suckers’’?
I’ll leave it to you decide if we are.
