Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 11, 2018

… The lane goes straight to an eye-contact rehab clinic.

so if sardine is not a species of fish, then WHAT is it though?

Does that sidewalk in China have padded bumpers on the side (like a children’s bowling lane)?

One can find a lot of facts by stating what something is not.

A skyscraper is not a car.A sun is not an insect.

They’re commenting on the term “species,” not whether or not a sardine is a fish, of course. Sardine is a rather generic term, originally for fish caught off the Sardinian coast.

Yeah, when your coach only speaks Russian, and the entire team speaks English, it can hamper team strategy.

RBION stated the thing about sardine incorrectly. Stating “A sardine is not a species of fish” implies that there is a sardine species and it is not a fish.

They should have stated, “There is no species of fish named sardine.”

It’s a fish, a type of herring.

I feel like the sardine comment was a bit too cute.

Sardine or not Sardine, that is the question?

I hope that cell phone lane has plenty of debris and sudden drops, and every 10 feet is a window where someone throws tepid dish water out.

Maybe foreign coaches secretly want the team to lose.

I’ve read that in Germany they are putting Walk/Don’t Walk signs in the sidewalk near curbs for people looking down at their phones. Getting a bit ridiculous…

Sardines are considered to be young pilchards, which are a small, edible, commercially valuable marine fish of the herring family.

Reminds me I have a can of sardines in the kitchen cupboard waiting to get crushed ans spread on some crackers!!

The problem with a “stare at the cellphone lane” is that they won’t notice when they’re straying.

Coach looks like he just tooted!
