Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: Beauty & Grooming

This volume of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! concentrates on weird trivia about personal grooming. Compared to other Ripley volumes, this may seem like a particularly tame subject area, and at times, it is (“Paul Allwine of Galion, Ohio, barber for 80 years, was still cutting hair at the age of 92“). Still, the series is not without its moments, such as when discussing “The man who was killed by his own beard!” or “The boy with a horse’s mane!” (complete with picture of one Colon T. Updike of Stone Mountain, VA who had a mane of hair some twelve inches long growing out of his back). Strange stuff indeed!
