Wissenswertes
The steaming Oriental Tea Company's tea pot, according to a measurement taken in 1875, has a capacity of "227 gallons, 2 quarts, 1 pint, 3 gills", which is inscribed on the pot. (A gill is an antiquated form of liquid measurement, used to mean the equivalent of one-half cup.) Due to buildings being torn down, the pot has been moved several times and is now located outside of a Starbucks coffeehouse on Court Street.

In the segment on the world's largest book, a bible, the announcer states the book contains 4,808 pages. Yet the page numbers at the top of the book, which appears to be open to around its middle, show over 6,160 pages, indicating the book must be well over 12,000 pages.

100 Wall Street

One of the innumerable random facts that Robert Ripley talks about in this episode of Warner Brothers' BELIEVE IT OR NOT shorts is that at the time, 100 Wall Street was an apartment house, with flats renting for $25 a month. 100 Wall Street has recently been in the news as I write this, with some even more fantastical assertions made, including being a dozen or so stories taller than it actually is, and being fully rented. I am barely able to believe Ripley's assertions; I don't believe former President Trump's.

Which is the primary difference between Ripley's tales, and our modern age. Ripley pulled a few whoppers in his time, but his stuff was meant for amusement.
