Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 12, 2018

If it takes you 80 hours to fall asleep, I’m not so sure you’re cured.

L.D. … any relation to Josh? (Where are the next three 25%s of human bones?)

You wish that you could fall asleepAnd dream of someone named Philippe.I’d guess that you’ve tried counting sheep,Imagining each one to leapAnd fall into a woolly heap—But found from that you could not reapA moment of sweet slumber deep.Still waiting for your clock to beep,So your appointments you can keepWith time to stop your classic JeepAnd pick up breakfast on the cheap,You toss and turn then start to weep.

Another hour spent in bed,The pillow hot beneath your head,Becoming filled with mounting dreadOf dreary meetings still ahead,Perchance to nod out there insteadOf listening to speaker Fred.Would I be far off if I saidIt makes you wish that you were dead?If not, perhaps then I’ve misreadYour twisting ’neath the quilt bedspread.…[Just 79 hours and 59 minutes left]

That’s not much of an insomnia cure if L.D. was able to stay awake for 80 hours.

The Cure For Insomnia; all 32 episodes on Netflix.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

I wonder how many artificial islands got concrete.

. . . today’s Ripley’s BION has already put me to sleep! Not unusual, since I haven’t had my coffee, yet. lol! :)

Would the unabridged Mahabharata in Sanskrit be that long?

No wonder China has so many floods.
