Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 31, 2013

Watch out! Those folks that wear those large ear plugs will now add a new spot to make them stand out from the crowd. Next thing you know, everyone will want to have them.

I wonder what these people will look like when they are about 40 or 50 years old.

As far as I am concerned, there isn’t much difference in nose plugs and piercings all over a face.

I’m gonna buy stock in nose plugs. When news of this gets to Seattle, there’s going to be a boom.

So for UNICEF, it’s no longer, “feed the poor”, but now, “text the poor”.

She looks like she eats one million grains of rice a day!

Cell phones can do a lot, but a toilet they’re not!

The moment I saw the Apatani woman I searched for this Twilight Zone episode photo..http://media-cache-ec3.pinimg.com/550x/d2/a5/32/d2a532b63b0720ca50ba25b9e8476af6.jpg

i think that it would take more than 1 million grains of rice to make a full sculpture

scrabblefiend beat me to the comment I was going to make.
