Followed the RBION original for decades in various print pubs. Added this version a few weeks ago and have begun to wonder at the variation in the definition of unbelievable.
Once included truly unique items that were once considered ‘unbelievable,’ except that the evidence was in front of one. Now we talk about a common Lego color scheme that has been applied in many places, a well known side-effect of long term space travel, and a fairly common phobia. Not exactly unbelievable.
Sorry to see it change in this way, when there are so many other things that one can find that fit the description and trigger the sense of awe.
A bridge painted to look like Legos. How boring does your life have to be, for THAT to be something you find interesting? I mean… I saw a kid who had painted his bicycle an ‘electric chartreuse’ color. Are we going to see that in Believe It, Or Not!, too?
I never appreciate the all to common ploy of RBION to mention some obscure and hardly used phobias. Take any human activity, use Latin word roots to describe it for a supposed phobia.
Way old science fiction had Null-G beds, to where you could dial the gravity from normal all the way down to zero, or anywhere in between. No snoring is another good reason for somebody to go ahead and invent them!

now that’s some bridge… is its city near the Denmark — where LEGOS was invented — boarder?

I don’t have a fear of dancing. I have a fear of other people seeing me dance. What is that called?

Ah, so Germans do have a sense of humor. I’m kidding. I’ve never even met a German, so what do I know?

Wake her up and leggo of her throat and she will be able to dance.

Question: What are the two most overpriced things on this planet? Answer: Starbucks and Legos.

I can afford the CPAP for my apnea but I doubt if I could say the same for the rocket ride.

I remember a RR bridge that was constantly being painted over by vandals. The RR co. then painted it in the local high school colors. Problem solved!

My fear of dancing is called “I’m an old white guy with no flexibility and minimal rhythm and don’t want to embarrass myself”.
