Ripley's Strange Mail Contest

Still having trouble believing that our pigeons and ravens can go through the mail without a box? Well, we have some more evidence for you. Check out the entries from this years (and years past) for the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Strange Mail Contest. They accept only items that aren't packaged and have stamps placed directly on the object. Pretty cool! I hope I can remember to participate next year. I have a soft spot for the kitch of the Ripley's Museums.

Ha! I actually know the person who sent that skull! He used to hold an annual contest, called P.O.O.P. (Permissible Objects Of Posta-bility)
