Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 13, 2018

Jim Henson died in 1990. So who operated Kermit? (So what IS blackboard chalk actually?)

Ah, bulls, my arch nemesis at the markets.

Railroad chalk is actually made of chalk (calcium carbonate along with fillers to make it tougher), and is perfect for using on a file, particularly if filing aluminum.

Did Kermit encourage them to find the rainbow connection?

Cattle use 30% of the world land! We better get eating!

30% of all the world’s land including mountains, rainforests, deserts, Antarctica, Siberia, etc? Or do they mean 30% of arable land?

Yes but the cattle pay for all that land with their lives.

And how much land do pigs and chickens use?

And blackboards are neither black nor boards.

I remember not everyone was happy about Kermit. One graduating student said something like, “$30,000 in student debt, and our graduation speaker is a talking sock?”

Cattle use up 30% of our planet’s land? All the more reason to give up beef! The Chick-Fil-A cows are right!
