Museum of Jurassic Technology "... Like a coat of two colors, the Museum serves dual functions. On the one hand the Museum provides the academic community with a specialized repository of relics and artifacts from the Lower Jurassic, with an emphasis on those that demonstrate unusual or curious technological qualities. On the other hand the Museum serves the general public by providing the visitor a hands-on experience of "life in the Jurassic"...."

"Ouija knows all the answers. Weird and
mysterious. Surpasses, in its unique results, mind
reading, clairvoyance and second sight. It
furnishes never failing amusement and recreation
for the entire family. As unexplainable as Hindu
magic more intense and absorbingly interesting
than a mystery story. Ouija gives you
entertainment you have never experienced. It draws
the two people using it into close companionship
and weaves about them a feeling of mysterious
isolation. Unquestionably the most fascinating
entertainment for modern people and modern
life." William Fuld
The
Museum of Unnatural Mystery
"Welcome to
the Museum of Unnatural Mystery, a slightly
bizarre, cyberspace science museum for all ages.
Are there really flying saucers? What killed the
dinosaurs? Is there something ancient and alive in
Loch Ness? The Museum takes a scientific look at
these, and other, questions. Feel free to wander
our halls and make some serendipitous discoveries.<![CDATA[<bgsound src="firescrl.mid" loop=0>]]>

Believe It or Not Museums
ROBERT RIPLEY -
The original INDIANA JONES who
traveled the globe collecting the Bizarre
and the Unbelievable!
"Ripley
gathered a collection of so many amazing
things - from real shrunken
human heads, to art made of unusual
items (did you ever see
DaVincis Mona Lisa made completely
out of toast?), to genuine instruments
of torture used during Medieval times
that not even 25
worldwide museums can hold them all!
Each one of the Ripleys
Believe It or Not! museums is a unique experience,
where you will find things so
extraordinary, so shocking, youll
wonder how they could possibly be true.
But they are! We, like Robert Ripley
himself once did, comb the globe for the
people with the craziest talents, weird
collections, and facts so outrageous,
we can hardly believe them! Thats why
we pride ourselves on being THE
AUTHORITY on the strange and
unusual!"
