I spent some time at a Barnes & Noble last night, skimming a book called
Indiana Curiosities. I was looking for little things that might make
good day trips on a bicycle. I made a few interesting notes:
- Crete, IN: The birthplace of infamous cult leader Jim Jones. Did you know he raised money for his first church by selling pet monkeys?
- Mentone, IN: Home of the world's largest concrete egg.
- Churubusco, IN: Allegedly the home of an evil, 450-pound snapper turtle.
The book was full of really bizarre locations in Indiana. Then something
unexpected happened. I saw
a person that I knew. There was Tim Evans, standing with his sort-of-famous mousetrap collection, indexed in this book of Indiana curiosities. Tim is a Calvary member, his wife works here, and I've watched their son on a number of occasions. In addition to all of those things, he is included in the book
Indiana Curiosities.
I know a famous person.

I'm surprised you weren't in the book...
More curiosities you could visit:
Some guy who preached a 12 hour sermon.
A guy who kayaks to work.
A guy who really knows how to love his woman!
All the same guy, by the way.
I used to get my haircut in Churubusco and never saw anthing
