Synopsis

A parody of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not." We meet a man who drinks large amounts of milk, an Indian snake charmer, a man building a ship in a bottle, the world's loudest hog caller, a man who hasn't left his room for years, a human basketball, an optical illusion, a new giant telescope showing life on Mars and none on the moon, a wishing well in Egypt, a take on Buck Rogers, the world's fastest woodcutter, the country's most accurate knife thrower, the sounds made by ants... and a man who saws people in half! The strange "facts," offered one by one, are interrupted by Egghead, carrying signs which read "I Don't Believe It" or "It's A Fake."
