Ripley's Believe It or Not Special Edition
Did you know that for 58 years, at a cost of over $2,000,000, Rani Bhawani of India had honey poured into every ant hole in the country so that no ant would ever go hungry? Did you know that in Miami Shores, Florida they drop 30,000 marshmallows from an airplane during their annual Marshmallow Drop? Did you know Chuck Christensen collects spider venom for a living -- and shares his home with 50,000 spiders? You'll find the fascinating, amazing and down right bizarre, but everything you find in this collection is fact.
My daughter enjoyed hearing the creepy and disgusting stories the most. One example would be from the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal where yacht racers were pelted by wriggly things falling from the sky during a storm. Soon enough they realized that the rain was chock-full of maggots!
