Road Trip: Ripley’s Lame Museum

Outside of the museum is cool stuff. There’s a log cabin made out of a 1000 year old tree trunk. There’s this:

It’s a full size replica of David. It’s so large, and the statue is so separated off (because you can see his DICK!!! Clearly gotta hide this behind some tall hedges), that it is impossible to get the whole statue in a single picture.

Inside was some really dull stuff, like: did you know some people eat bugs? And it’s not really that hard to lay on a bed of nails? And Ripley received a lot of fan mail? The place was dotted with boxes that said “do not open this!” or holes that said “don’t look in here!” I opted to follow the simple instructions in this instance. As a result I was only rarely inconvenienced by screaming mannequins, but it still happened occasionally. This proved somewhat irksome because they were usually obscuring vaguely interesting signs on the wall, like this one:

I think, in the end, it is a good place to go if you are a small child, or if you have not yet discovered the Internet.

Then I headed off to Tallahassee. It got dark by 6pm, which was surprising because I hadn’t been noticing how quickly things got dark. So I drove mostly in the dark. I pulled into a hotel around 9 and called it the end of Day 1.
