Ripley's Believe It Or Not! The Dymaxion Car, designed by Buckminster Fullier in the early 1990s, was a three-wheeled, 20-ft-long passenger vehicle designed to reach speeds of up to 90mph and carry 111 passengers. The abandoned fishing village Houtouwan in the Shengoh Islands of China became completely overgrown with ivy and vegetation. Carl Herman Unthan, born in Russia in 1948 with no arms, was an accomplished violinist, playing the instrument with his feet and performing to full concert halls by the age of 20. He could also accurately shoot a rifle and shuffle a deck of playing cards among many other tasks. Unthan even typed his autobiography with his feet!
