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

What did the family of KJumar thought Kumar died of? Also, who wouldn’t want a petrified carcass in their yard curtesy of a Australian Island lake?

That boy’s story is just like an episode of The Twilight Zone.

The parents, tired of him being late to catch the school bus, came up with a plan.

…and they knew this was for lunch specifically?

J Short… it probably had the Flintstones on it, and a little matching bronze Thermos.

( 2000BC was waaay before Batman or Hello Kitty.)

How is it a “lake of death” if it turns carcasses (dead bodies) to stone?

Lake Natron is not as toxic as Ripley’s wants you to believe… Google it! While it has a high PH and is extremely hard water, there are plenty of animals thriving in and around the lake. The photos that you will find are essentially staged by a photographer to take dead bodies found washed up on shore and made to look alive again. The lake is actually a breeding ground for a species of lesser flamingo. If the lake were really that toxic, how could an entire species continue to breed there, year after year.

Just Google Lake Natron, or copy/paste the following into your address bar. https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=lake+natron&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Well Ripley does give us the option “Believe it or NOT”!

I’ve always called it “Believe it or Don’t”!

Something like the waters at Miami Beach….Ever see the over over ripe old bags trying to look young and cool while walking around in clothes that are a joke, while they are too rapidly turning to stone also?

I wonder how Bronze Age cereal tasted.

That lunch box belonged to a person on a true Paleo diet
