... and Ripley's Believe it or Not! Oditorium in San Antonio, Texas .. (I just had to look up the 'man eating clam' .. it's just a name un/forunately:
'Man eating clam
They are colloquially known as the 'man-eating clams,' as they are so huge that they can swallow a human whole. While the first part is true (they are enormous and you can probably fit inside one), you aren't their primary prey. But, these monstrous clams are as harmless as a water lily.'
I'd love to own one but only a vintage one because they're now an endangered species.

'Believe It or Not! This bust of Robert #Ripley was sculpted by a blind artist, Mark Shoesmith in 1937. Using only his sense of touch, Shoesmith created the portrait by feeling Ripley's face.'

(I wonder if Lionel Richie used this fact as inspiration for his 'Hello' music video?)
