Ripley's Believe It or Not! Don't mess with this lady! 19th-century pirate queen Ching Shih of the South China Sea commanded over 1,000 ships and 20,000 pirates - and retired with her loot intact! A new car rolls off the production line in China once every 1.6 seconds! The Eulachon, or "candlefish", found on America's Pacific coast is so fatty that it can be dried, threaded on a wick and burned as a candle!
