Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 09, 2017

who nominated whose corpse?

I know some human faces that resemble rocks.

So did McCain in ’08 and Romney in ’12.

Wrong, Ripley. Greeley died on 29 Nov, 1872, well after the election. By that time Grant had already won the election. Greeley was alive and kicking when the election took place. Unless you consider that, like today, the popular election means NOTHING and it’s all about the electoral college, then, point conceded.

Obama was elected the first time for the same reason!

It takes Venus 243 (Earth) days to make one rotation. Because it’s so slow, Venus is also almost perfectly round. Interesting fact, Venus rotates clockwise while the rest of the planets rotate counter-clockwise. That means on Venus, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east…

Perhaps one of the rocks is Lot’s wife?

So Venus was a comet captured by our solar system?

No, Venus is a planet under severe Green House effect.

Green house gasses…. Wow I suppose the fact that it is 31% CLOSER to the has nothing to do with how hot it is on Venus. I suppose these are MAN MADE green house gasses.

Rather hard to walk on Venus if it’s hot enough to melt lead!

At 90 atmospheres of pressure (that is 90X our own atmosphere at sea level) can crush you while you are poisoned and fried.

I thought Mercury spun even slower, hence the super-cold dark side.
