Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 12, 2015

Unagi travel? Why would you name the business after an eel?At that width, steel breaks easily. Almost everything would be stronger than steel.

I’ve read about that Marine many times already.

Bambi was released in 1942 so it was well before he went to Vietnam.

Carbon nanotubes have 200 times the strength and 5 times the elasticity of steel. I guess that makes them 40 times as strong as spider silk, Believe It or Not.

Was there more than one Bambi production? My understanding was that a lady named Ruth Williams was the voice of Bambi. I knew Ruthie Williams. She lived in the Bay Area.

Donnie Dunagan also played the son to Basil Rathbone’s Frankenstein in “Son of Frankenstein.”.He joked that no one in the Marines would have treated him seriously if he told them he was the voice of Bambi. :-)

I saw Bambi in 1957 when I was 13. The scene where his mother is killed erwhelmed me for days. It isn’t just an innocent movie for children. Originally, many fairy tales were violent, bloody and gruesome. In other words, Grimm!! Way before they were Disnified (read “sanitized”).

A beanstalk, I think, is what they’re calling the concept. Then one can just take an elevator to outer space. One day. Or maybe at that point a huge giant will come along and pluck the beanstalk to provide a bass accompaniment for the Music of the Spheres.
