...and a baby was found in a tree.



Chair and guitar on the ceiling.



Severely jacked-up piano.



Story behind this: at the front of the Ripley's entrance, there was a mirror and a bunch of stories of people who could roll their tongues. Something asked if you (the audience) could do it. Basically, look in the mirror and make silly faces... (continue next picture)



Well, at the end of the Ripley's section, it turned out it was a 2-way mirror and anyone who did it could be seen on the other side. Hilarious!

Pretty design on the wall. This leads to the next section, which I will leave for the next post. ;)

PS: Last night I saw a movie, called See No Evil, Hear No Evil. It was a funny Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor movie.

Oh and briefly, on Friday night, I owned a small lizard. His name was briefly Simon. He was briefly a he. Lol, I have no idea what gender "he" was.

Also, on Friday, I will most likely be going to Grapevine Mills, a huge mall that is 50 minutes away from here. I'll probably be going with Amanda (and hopefully Lisa). I hope to have fun! This mall has many stores that my normal mall doesn't have.

Those Stores: (Books-A-Million, Bible Factory Outlet, an ESPN skatepark, Aeropostale, All That Glitters, Candy World, The Bag Lady, Perfumania, Fragrance Depot, Haagen Dazs, Great American Cookies, The Hat Club, Sanrio, Piercing Pagoda, Sunglass Hut, and Wolfe Camera.)

I'm looking forward mostly to Aeropostale and Sanrio. :)
