On the Liberty Bell, Pennsylvania is misspelled “Pensylvania.” This spelling was one of several acceptable spellings of the name at that time.

I first saw the Liberty Bell in 1998 and I don’t even recall “Pennsylvania” being misspelt thereon.

And the first iPad was a feminine hygiene product in a MadTV skit.

Jason comes across as a very pleasant fella.

Is it just me, or is Ripley frickin’ morbid? What other macabre things have they blown their money on?

When I was a kid I thought you had to live in Pennsylvania to be able to spell it correctly!

jasonsnakelover commented on every Single story of Ripley’s Believe it or not and every time signed it off the same way.

Believe it,or Notttttttt!

So when do we get our army of cloned “Emancipators”?

What will you give for some of my hair(rare and getting rarer everyday) and some snot?

Nobody remembers that iPhone. The naming rights cost Apple a pittance. The irony is that phone calls are its least used feature. Believe it or Nuts!

Wow, PA is misspelled on the Liberty Bell. I’ve been to see it and I don’t think there’s ever any mention of that when you go. I wonder if it shows on my small-scale Liberty Bell? I’ll have to look.

So, who MADE it?

I’ve lost all respect for you, Ripley’s. Oh, not really.

Take care, may the sword be with you, and gesundheit.

I misspelled my snake’s name when some of his hair got stuck to the blood on my iscreen.

My hair has already grown back, but finding a telegram office was not easy.

Pensylvania on the Liberty Bell and in our Constitution is misspelled everywhere else.

The first I Phone was two emptied Indian Corn tin cans and a string.

You know what is hard for me to believe? The cryptic comments today!

LibertyBelle was a lead chararcter in a (not half bad) recently concluded ensemble Netflix series: Glorious Ladies Of Wrestling / GLOW.

Sauron had an eyephone.

Well, that’s what they get for buying their bells from Acme… ☺

Abraham Lincoln was known as ‘Honest Abe’. Donald Trump will go down in history as ‘Lying Donnie’!

“I’ve always wanted to learn how to spell ‘Connecticut.’” —Woody Allen

I know that is a “P” in the comic but it looks more like a “D”. Who ever heard of Dennsylvania?

Ick. Ripley’s…that’s just …ick… How do you know that you weren’t bamboozled?

Before I paid out $81,000 I’d want a DNA test…

Actually it isn’t that it is “misspelled”, but just that there was no accepted spelling of the name at the time that it was cast. The double “n” spelling was not standardized until many years later. So it isn’t “wrong,” just archaic.

Apple seems to have a history of stealing other people’s ideas, so that’s not surprising at all.
