Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 29, 2018

156 hours: 6½ days (did Fisher have to turn over the cube to get the unreachable places?)

“Class, your smile instructor is out sick today, so we’re going to show the Emoji Movie.”

“Nyet!! Nyyyyyeeeeeeet!! "

My lifelong quest for knowledge is over. I now know the origin of the California roll.

Did they get Jason Isaacs to teach it,as suggested by the picture?

The sushi roll entry being on this strip is lame.

When the first McDonalds opened in Moscow they had to teach their employees to smile too.

Those crazy, quirky Russians; what a happy go lucky bunch.

Yeah, but that chef in Canada surfed and used the word “dude” a lot.

Then Tony’s wife said, “Get that damn thing out of the living room.”

Knowing how special is the gesture of to give a smile in Russia, the employees must have feel very odd.

Smile. Is like sneer with more teeth, da?

I think I’d want to figure out how to solve the small Rubik’s cube, before I tackled the 220 lb. version……

Forget it. I couldn’t solve a little handheld Rubik’s cube. Besides, it tastes awful.

You did not have to solve the Rubik’s cube. They were sold new in the box already solved.

The chef in question was Japanese-born Hidekazu Tojo, who says he named it because of its popularity among CA tourists, and developed the inside-out roll because Americans frequently peeled off the nori when it was on the outside. But there are other competing stories, including that of Los Angeles’ Ichiro Mashita, who likened the texture of avocado to that of toro. Or Ken Seusa of Hollywood, who made the earliest documented claim.
