Believe it or not, Ripley’s is oddly educational! 3 In preparation for your class visit to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Times Square, your students may have some questions about what they can expect on this unexpected field trip. • Who is Robert Ripley? Robert L. Ripley was a cartoonist, explorer, reporter, and collector who traveled to 201 countries in 35 years seeking the odd, the unusual, and the unexplained. He led a life of adventure and excitement and will forever be remembered for coining the phrase “believe it or not.” • Why did he collect so many weird things? In his search for far-fetched stories to draw in his popular newspaper cartoons, Ripley acquired hundreds of exotic artifacts from around the world. He introduced his readers to incredible characters: sword swallowers, people who ate glass, a man who nailed his tongue to a piece of wood, a woman missing the lower half of her body. He sketched men with horns on their heads, a child cyclops, an armless golfer, and a fork-tongued woman. There were fish that climbed trees, wingless birds, four-legged chickens, and peg-legged cows. He loved quirks of language, word puzzles, palindromes, and number problems. Ripley first shared his unique collection at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago in an exhibit he called an “Odditorium.” • What are some of the cool things we will see? With over 500 astounding exhibits, you are bound to find something you have never seen before. How about 15 authentic shrunken heads or a massive gorilla made from 5,000 pounds of car tires? There’s a 2,500 year old mummified human hand, 300 strands of Abraham Lincoln’s hair, coal from the Titanic – and so much more! • Can we take selfies? Check with your teacher about bringing your phone with you on your field trip. There are amazing photo opportunities you won’t find anywhere else! Post a picture of yourself as half a person, or covered by live cockroaches, or even hanging off the top of the Empire State building! Be sure to share them with us: #ripleysNY @ripleysNY • What am I going to learn by studying all of this crazy stuff? Pick a school subject and you will find a surprising connection in the galleries at Ripley’s Time Square. Here are a few: Math: measurements, converting units (heights and weights), scale for models (micro-miniatures, Spanish Armada in matchsticks) Art: mixed media, found art (dog hair painting, postal stamp collage, keyboard Darth Vader, scrap metal Captain America) Science: genetics (albino giraffe, two-headed calf, methemoglobinemia), paleontology (megalodon, prehistoric fish), Earth Science (meteorite, fulgurite) Technology: evolution of media technology (radio to TV), changes in transportation, Vitaphone sound system for films History: New York City, sports/baseball, the Great Depression, Titanic, WWII, Napoleon 4 Social Studies, Mathematics, English Language Arts Primary Sources, Geography, World History, Ratios, the Number System, Literacy in History, Informational Reading Middle School Lesson Plan: Ripley’s Ramble ’Round the World Teacher Instructions Robert Ripley (1890-1949) was the media train trip between the Atlantic and pioneer of his time.

  • 1908 New York to Paris Race and the 1909 Ocean to Ocean Race, from New York City to Seattle
    Bad Roads to Good Roads The Great Races: 1908‐09 Part One In 1909 only seven percent of the two million miles of highways in the United States were classified as "improved." In rain and snow, most American roads became impassable. Encyclopedia.com notes: “When the Office of Public Roads Inquiries undertook the first inventory of all U.S. roads in 1904, the country had 2,151,570 miles of rural public roads, but 1,997,908 miles, or 93 percent, were dirt. Of the 153,662 miles with any kind of surfacing, only 38,622 miles were stone or macadam, while the remainder included 108,232 miles of gravel and 6,810 of shell, sand, clay, brick, or other materials. Only a few hundred miles of roads in the entire country were suitable for motor vehicles.” ….. “As motor‐vehicle sales grew rapidly—exceeding 1,000 for the first time in 1899, 100,000 in 1909, and 1 million in 1916—Americans demanded and got good roads.” In 1908 and 1909 two long distance endurance automobile races with ties to Washington State helped to focus public attention on the deplorable condition of American roads. These were the 1908 New York to Paris Race and the 1909 Ocean to Ocean Race, from New York City to Seattle. In this Part One of this blogpost series, we’ll touch briefly on the 1908 New York to Paris Race. In Part Two we will set the stage for the 1909 Ocean to Ocean Race itself and briefly cover the travails of the “pace car” of the Race.
