No. Ripley's Fact or Fiction is an interesting collection of things, but it's not 100% accurate all the time. There are various factors that can contribute to inaccuracies. The information they gather may come from sources that are not entirely reliable. Moreover, the world is constantly evolving, and new knowledge can make what was once presented as fact seem false. For instance, in the field of archaeology, new discoveries can completely change our understanding of historical events that Ripley's might have previously reported on in a different light.
It's a bit of both. Some of the stories in Ripley's Believe It or Not are based on real facts, but they might be presented in an exaggerated way for entertainment. So, it's not entirely 100% fact, nor is it completely fiction.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think they look for things that are strange, unusual, or that go against common beliefs. Things that will make people go 'huh?'
Look for sources. If a story in Ripley's has references to scientific studies or reliable historical records, it's more likely to be fact. If not, it could be fiction.
Well, it might be special for its unique storytelling. Maybe it has really engaging characters that draw readers in. Also, the plot twists could be something that makes it stand out.
1421 is rather ambiguous. To figure out if it's fact or fiction, we need to know what it specifically represents. Maybe it's a reference to a historical event, a fictional story element, or something else entirely.
Well, 'Schindler's List' is rooted in fact. The movie tells the story of Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist. He really did use his influence and resources to save over a thousand Jews from the Nazis. However, like any movie adaptation, there are some aspects that might be tweaked a bit for cinematic purposes, but overall it's a factual account of an incredible and heroic act during a dark time in history.
It's mostly fiction. While it tries to depict volcanic activity realistically, the story and characters are made - up for entertainment purposes. The events in the movie are exaggerated to create drama. Volcanoes don't usually target specific people or small towns in such a malicious way as shown in the film.
Well, it's a complex matter. While there's no scientific proof to suggest that Noah's Ark as described in the religious text actually existed in a literal sense, we can't completely dismiss it as pure fiction. It could be based on some local flood event that was exaggerated over time. The story has been passed down through generations in religious traditions, serving as a moral and spiritual lesson about obedience, God's power, and the preservation of life. But in terms of hard scientific facts, there's little to support the existence of a literal, all - encompassing Noah's Ark.
