Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 10, 2018

Similar to Aldrin, but with Latter-day Saint astronaut Don L. Lind: http://www.ldsliving.com/LDS-Astronaut-Shares-What-It-s-Like-Taking-the-Sacrament-in-Space/s/83295/

Regarding that cornerstone: I had difficulty finding any sources about this but I did find this one that mentions a secretary of the Smithsonian with the last name of Ripley (related? I don’t know!) who approved the search to find the cornerstone but as this strip reveals, they were unable to locate it.

The source has more details about this but I gave you the general gist of it all.

Maybe you can find the cornerstone! Love, Bobby

Hasbro refused to let GI Joe be called a doll.

Yes, it’s a matter of taxes on imported toys being less than that on imported dolls, and pretty much all of Marvel’s character figures were imported from China. Here’s a link to a detailed account….

Lawyer speak with forked tongue……

My mom would ask, “Did you check ALL the corners?”

And who had the first Bar Mitzvah??

Cornerstone will be in the last place you looked. In the corner.

Did Buzz get a buzz?

It’s the doorstop in the back. What a bunch of dorks.

And how would you recognize the Smithsonian cornerstone if you found it? Does it have the date chiseled into it?

The could just make Smithson’s sarcophagus the cornerstone and be done with it. His donation made the museum possible.

Boys to NOT have dolls. They have “action figures”

I don’t know why they can’t find it the cornerstones right over there! I can see it from here!

It wouldn’t be surprising if the cornerstone was removed or covered up during an expansion.

I wonder if the “doll” not being a “toy” thing has to do with the historical use of “dolls” as Fashion Dolls, used almost like mannequins are today. Then there was the perception that dolls were for those who could afford a store-bought “doll” (or collectable) as opposed to the homemade ones most girls could afford.

I’m glad somebody still takes the sacraments
