Has anyone visited these statues? Any success stories? Is anyone planning on going to see the statues? I think I might!!!
The Ripley fertility statues have been seen by millions of people since their special powers were discovered in 1994, with more than 2,000 women reporting that they became pregnant shortly after touching the wooden sculptures.
Now, for the first time in eight years, the two statues will be easily accessible to the public. They will be located in the lobby, making it easy for would-be parents to come in and touch them for FREE during regular business hours.
The five-foot tall wooden statues were acquired from the Baule people of the Ivory Coast of West Africa in 1993, and were placed in the lobby of Ripley Entertainment’s corporate headquarters in Orlando. Within months, 13 women who came in contact with them became pregnant, including staffers and office visitors.
Following a story on the phenomenon in the Wall Street Journal, the media frenzy and the demand to touch the statues became international news. In the ensuing years, the edifices made three trips around the world. They are now back out on a three-year tour that will take them around the world once again!

If they've been seen by at least 2 million people, and there were 2000 pregnancies, thats only .1%, Those seem to be pretty terrible odds, even worse than normal. Did I do my math right?

I am thinking an even smaller percentage than that, but I hated calculating stuff like that. But that number is of ONLY people that have reported their pregnancies as well. So IDK
