UPDATE: Charles sez: "Aquarena Springs. the clown was minor. Ralph the Diving Pig was the main attraction. No, Seriously, they had a pig trained to dive, usually with pretty girls called 'Aqua Maids.' Also a fleet of glass bottom boats. In the '90s, the Southwest Texas State University bought the Springs, and in a fit of political correctness, turned it into a wetlands and museum. You can still ride the glass bottom boats, but Ralph is retired, and no Aqua Maids." Link

UPDATE: (I love it when I post something to BB and I get email from readers who tell me about the deeper levels of weirdness. Here's a great example — Mark) Tim sez: "One more bit of Aquarena Springs trivia. A picture of "Ralph the Diving Pig" and the woman he performed with was published in Chic magazine. The woman successfully sued Larry Flynt for presenting her in a 'false light' because the story appeared 'amid stories of bizarre sexual exploits.' Braun v. Flynt, 726 F.2d 245, 10 Media L.Rptr. 1487 (5th Cir. 1984)" Link
