Summary edit
| Description |
English: Ol' Rip (died January 19, 1929) was a horned lizard (commonly referred to as a "horned toad" or "horny toad") whose supposed 31-year hibernation as an entombed animal is believed by some and doubted by others. His name is a reference to the fictional character Rip Van Winkle. In 1897, a horned lizard was placed in a cornerstone of the Eastland County Courthouse in Eastland, Texas along with other time capsule memorabilia, including a bible and a bottle of liquor. When the courthouse was torn down 31 years later, the cornerstone was opened on February 18, 1928 and a live horned lizard was produced, allegedly from within the time capsule. |
