Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 16, 2018

So if the United States has Roswell, New Mexico when it comes to unidentified flying objects, what does Canada have?

Looking through the Canadian Mist.

Always some do-gooder thwarting a perfectly good suicide.

They couldn’t curb their drinking.

Erin go brae! Hey, they died happy!

So… 1095 reports, in one year… doesn’t sound hard to believe. In fact, it’s hard to believe there aren’t more, like in the hundred of thousands. Did alcohol consumption go down in 2017?

forget it it’s not worth the aggravation

Evidently my ex’s kitchen is in Canada, serving Unidentifiable Fried Objects 3 times a day

Since the Fire and its subsequent flow of whiskey was in 1875, I wonder if that was the source of the stereotype jokes about the Irish being such hardcore alcoholics that they will drink anything

With an average distance to the water of 220 feet, I am more surprised that Kevin Hines survived the initial drop to the water than I am that a sea lion kept him afloat

That whiskey thing in Ireland is one of the saddest things I’ve read about alcoholism. It looks like a joke. Booze flowing in the streets so many of them drank themselves to death at the opportunity?

“Whiskey River, take my mind…”

That’s why I don’t drink alcohol.

I’m not buying the UFO “sightings.” In a day where everyone has a mini-video cam in hand, and everything is recorded, I’m not seeing any UFOs. It’s not like 20 years ago and earlier when you had to run home and get a camera.

Wow! 3 totally bizarre facts today – kudos! (So sad about whiskey fire.)

Lucky for the jumper he was in the US – I’ve read that in some countries, attempted suicide is a crime punishable by hanging. Ie, you mess up your hanging, the law will do it right!

Sea lion seems to be berating Kevin over jumping!

I guess the Sea Lion wanted to take some of the “friendly sea denizen” press away from the dolphins

That UFO looks like the one in the 60s t.v. series The Invaders.
