🐕🌲 A stray dog ends up traveling the world.
📏 A 22-mile “yardstick” helps measure the speed of light.
🌲 A church built from ONE giant redwood tree.

All true. All from my family’s 1953 Strange As It Seems archives.

Counterfeiters inside San Quentin. A spring that turns objects to stone. The world’s fastest talker at 375 words/min.
The 1930s radio episode “Hot Money” is wild from start to finish.
