This past weekend, Lauren and I found ourselves with some time to kill in Times Square. And with a plethora of tourist traps from which to choose, we settled on the most Halloweeny we could and decided to immerse ourselves in the world of the odd and bizarre by visiting Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
What follows are a few pictures of our adventure…
This little photo op accompanied an exhibit about a man who had no body from the waist down. I think we were supposed to emulate that, but being the overachievers that we are, we decided to go even further and become only heads (and a bit of shoulder in Lauren’s case).
Next Lauren fell in love with this chap (lady?) and sat down for some quality couch time with her new wifey and pet Moose head.
Up next I got attacked by a dinosaur. Oh, gracious.
From there we found ourselves in the medieval torture section of the odd-itorium and I was immediately thown into a box and Lauren was decapitated (again!) and her head was preserved for later scientific study.
We escaped from there and were immediately captured again and thrown into much stronger devices that locked down over our faces. It was as if we had been cast to play victims in the latest installment of Saw, only far more real and far more macabre.
Jigsaw finally let us go and we escaped through a giant spinning black hole…
…only to be thrust out into the crowds of Times Square filled with obnoxious tourists. Perhaps we were better off inside.
Looks like a great time to me!
