I recently learned that Ripley’s
Believe it or Not predates the
Guinness Book of World Records.
I like to think it was originally just
called Ripley’s and after too many
people objecting he added the rest
of the title out of frustration.
Which means Ripley had a chance to
monopolize the World Record market
until he regrettably gave the world the
option to not believe.
