    • Paul was interested and involved in technology right up to the time of his death. He created and maintained a personal website until 2004.
    • Because he was concerned about the starving people in Africa, Paul developed a method to cultivate tilapia fish in tribal villages and small communities. The fish thrives in brackish waters, which made it particularly well suited for sub-Saharan Africa. This idea was turned down, however, because of several obstacles it was considered unfeasible.
    • On August 12, 1951 at Akron Ohio, Paul and Jerry beat Ronald Reagan in the celebrity race at the Soap Box Derby. It's the only race that President Reagan ever lost.

    • Paul: On television, everyone talks and they don't care about the mechanics.
    • Paul: Children are so used to seeing puppets that when they see a real ventriloquist they don't understand it.
    • Paul: (speaking about the destruction of the taped recording by Metromedia of his show) The thing that was perhaps most painful to me was that in my best days, back in the '50s and '60s, it was all live. All the work I had done in the past, there was no record of it. Then finally I had the opportunity to do this taped thing [from 1964 to 1968], and I felt that at last, I'll have some remaining record of my work that future people could see, especially children. Suddenly I didn't have it anymore. It was gone forever.
