Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 13, 2014

Can you find Verne’s book art Barnes & Noble and/or Amazon? What about Powell’s in Portland, Oregon? As for roaches having teeth on their tummies, ewwww.

I could spend a day at Powell’s.

here’s evolution of horses-

It would have been difficult to go horseback riding 50 million years ago. The saddle had not yet been invented.

Roaches are infected with The Thing?!

Around the World in Eighty Days was written and/or published in 1878, fourteen years after Paris in the Twentieth Century was written.

And they had multiple toes, which evolved into the hoof.

Must be those teeth that make the satisfying “crunch” when you step on roaches, eh?

I have one of Jules Verne’s books 20000 Leagues under the Sea that was also made into a movie who’s seen it??!!!!…yes can you get Paris in the 20th Century at a bookstore???!!!!

I saw a brief description of Paris in the 20th Century on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_in_the_20th_century Verne was disturbingly perceptive.
