Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 21, 2015

I wonder if this one-armed pilot always had mishaps like those .

Careful Prof you’ll have the anti-gmo people on you

I read the story & don’t recall that the pilot “lost control” of the aircraft. No big deal flying with the other good arm, & I am sure the copilot was there to help. Anything to make a dull story sound like something it wasn’t, to make a headline.

Almonds are a fruit? I know tomatoes are a fruit!!

I want a treelike that.

Now we know where all of those holiday fruitcakes come from…

I Googled the tree and it is beautiful!! I’m taken aback.

That must be a very ugly tree.

There are no cherries on his tree. All the others mentioned are very close relatives and may be grafted to each other, even almonds.

Mailing yourself a long distance is a lot cheaper than conventional travel. But you get what you pay for.

Spraying for insects on that tree would be a nightmare -most fruits require different procedures?

Grafting is not as easy as it sounds and I wonder if the grape would grow from a tree?

I definitely want that fruit tree as soon as I have a place to plant it.
