    • Quotes

      Self - Host: Paper. It's what business and and government runs on. There always seems to be another form to fill out, in duplicate. And that's when paper clips come in handy. But you can do more with a paper clip than stick paper together if you know the secret of an astounding trick. The revelation of that secret will be the first stop on our journey into the strange, the bizarre, the unexpected.

    One of the best shows I've ever seen!

    This is one of the best, and most interesting shows I've ever seen. It's amazing what some people do. Their book, "Ripley's Believe It or Not! Encyclopedia of the Bizarre: Amazing, Strange, Inexplicable, Weird and All True!" is also incredibly interesting.

    I just wish they'd get rid of Kelly Packard, I don't understand why they even added her. I guess to attract idiots who just watch the show because they like to look at the hosts. Because she is so incredibly annoying! Thankfully she's usually only shown once durring an episode.
