Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 07, 2017

must be awfully short years when the Nile floods again a few days or weeks later

I heard about that hospital fire on the radio news.

Burning it was better that smelling it.

I know that thing about the laser igniting intestinal gases was on some “serious” news sites, but I don’t believe it.I’m sure it’s a hoax.

In my younger days as a scout, we occasionally tried to light ours in the campfire and never saw ignition. What part of the anatomy were they operating on when things went BOOM?

Is it wrong that I always laugh when I see or hear the word “chiropractor”?

Well, that’s a toot.

I thought the item about the hospital fire was funny until I Googled for the story, and found the patient suffered from burns.

Ever look into what that intestinal gas is composed of? Methane, oxygen, carbon-dioxide and hydrogen.

.

Ever since the Aswan Dam was built, no more Nile flooding which means the renewing of the soil stopped.

.

I wonder why the chiropractors stopped?

The Nile does not flood annually since the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970.

So there is no beginning of the year anymore.
