Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 22, 2016
Transcript:
Curtis Russell of Billings, Missouri, bagged a very rare doe that was sporting a huge set of antlers- 22 points! Believe it or not, you can buy apples kissed by airline stewardesses in China! Retired! When a Haydock high school art teacher realized her classroom skeleton was a real human, the school held a funeral and laid him to rest in a St. Helens, England, cemetery.

Does have antlers? I thought ’twas bucks who have them.

Did the high school art teacher also realize that her classroom skeleton was comprised of random bones of different deceased humans? Because that is usually how these classroom skeletons are made. And did she lay every bone in a separate grave? Or did they just dump the bones of a dozen different people in one grave…

Typical. Hunter sees something that’s one of a kind and immediately kills it

Doe, a deer, a female deer, or is it.

A few years ago,in Africa, a rare white rhinocerous left it’s usual habitat and began wandering North It was tracked by biologists for several thousand miles.Yep, a hunter “bagged” it.

The doe picture looks like it was a midnight poaching job.

Which is why responsible hunting is good for deer herd management. If they are allowed to multiply unchecked, then their habitat gets over run (due to expansion by suburbia into their usual domain), and the number of deer-car accidents continues to increase. Much better to take the deer cleanly for meat, than to let them die of starvation or sickness from being jammed too close together in what little habitat they have left.

I noticed in these comments so far no one had commented on the kissed apples, so I thought I should say something.
Uh, er….
Okay, forget it.

People the hunter didn’t KNOW it was a doe until after they shot it. I means seriously do you think they look for a penis before they shoot what is “obviously” a buck?

Most people shoot a deer after identifying it as having antlers, they don’t bother checking genitals as well.

“When a Haydock High School art teacher realized that her classroom skeleton was a real human, the school held a funeral and laid him to rest in a St. Helens, England, cemetery.”
First, it was NOT “a real human,” but rather the visible remains of a human being. A “real human” is a person who is a composite of body and soul. A skeleton has no soul and is only part of a body.
Second, it may seem commendable to “h[o]ld a funeral” and “la[y] to rest” the remains of a deceased human being … but it should not have been done in this case. The teacher should have presumed that there already was a funeral and that the deceased (or his family) had chosen to donate the body for scientific and/or other educational use. Because of the burial, the will of the deceased (or his family) has been rejected.

What kind of art teacher would have a skeleton in her class room? Maybe a dark arts teacher, perhaps?

If this is the case I read about in the local paper, the hunter did not even suspect it was a doe until he shot and a fawn ran away! Unusual among deer, but both cows and bulls have horns.
