a birthday to be believed...

Like many children of the late 70s I was big-time into those freaky variety shows like In Search Of..., That's Incredible!, and The Donnie and Marie Hour.

So for my 35th birthday, I made Craig take me to the brand new tourist trap on 42nd Street: Ripley's Believe It or Not, which let me tell you is the best thing to hit Time's Square since Happy Hour at HoJos.

It's also worth the price of admission just to see the celebrity doppelganger shrunken head collection:
