Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 24, 2016

So what’s in that Canadian provincial water that makes it pink?

Wood’s sister was only 31; the dentist in his sixties. She always maintained that it was supposed to be a father and daughter, and resented it being described as a husband and wife.

Wood himself changed his story many times…

at first it was a gibe, though with some affection, at the Midwestern pretentiousness of putting big Gothic windows or other ornate European decoration on tiny frame houses.

Later he styled himself the quintessential Midwestern painter, and disavowed any satirical intent.

How would you convince someone to paint a picture of them if the point is to get an “older” person?

@SusanSunshine—one source claims that the house in the background was a brothel!!

Maybe the crabs make the water pink.

He looks like a dentist.
