Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 05, 2019

Before about 1841 no one knew dinosaurs existed.

so after WWI was over, what does Kotex do? (as for the liver, reminds me of Prometheus)

Kotex were not cotton. They were cellucotton which is actually wood pulp. They were bandages first when ww1 nurses discovered the alternate use they are famous for now.

In the meantime and in-between time Kotex is having a recall due to part of their tampon getting stuck inside some women. Is this material mentioned by RBION the same as the ones in this recall? ¯\(ツ)/¯

Many products have more than one use ;-)

The Cotton component in Kotex pads (Cotton fiber) is used to make the paper for the Dollar bills and yarn for T-Shirts. Believe it or not…

We often carried both Kotex and Tampons for first aid dressing in our survival kits. Did not have in the Vietnam era what troops today routinely carry.

Thank god the liver regenerates when I stop drinking for awhile.

I printed that out about the liver. Now, on to the cocktail lounge….

We don’t know that about ol’ George, unless you’re referring to the word “dinosaur” that wasn’t invented until 1842. So there’s a whole slew of American presidents (and other countries leaders) that never know what a dinosaur was.

But dinosaurs were known all the way back to ancient times. A lot of Greek and Roman mythology is based on dinosaur bones (and I’m sure far East as well). In fact Caesar Augustus also had dino skeletons in his house in addition to the typical statues that a ruler of ancient Rome would have.

You can be sure that Jefferson was right on top of the Brontosaurus discovery.

BANDAGES WERE MADE OF COTTON?! Incredible.

(True or false?) I heard that a man in Hannibal, Mo. passed his amateur radio test and was issued the call K0TEX (K Zero TEX) Not what a man would want on his QSL cards!

You can be a liver donor. The surgeon will take part of your liver, and transplant it. The part of your liver you kept and the part you donated will each grow back to normal size.

Of course Washington didn’t know dinosaurs existed! He died in 1799, the first Iguanadon teeth weren’t discovered until 1822 and they weren’t recognized as distinct from any current living species until 1841.

If Washington never knew that Dino’s didn’t exist, that means he went to his grave not knowing. And how would anyone know he didn’t know about them unless they mentioned them and he asked what they were? And then I’m sure they’d explain. Which means he then learned and knew about their existence. So you can’t say he NEVER knew. Unless they’re simply assuming he didn’t because he never mentioned them. Doesn’t mean he didn’t necessarily know.

I would think they should have made some new by now…

What is remarkable about the Washington statement? It can be said of billions of people.

Doesn’t skin regenerate?

in Vietnam we used Kotex pads to clean 105 howitzers.

George Washington never knew that Archaeopteryx existed. George Washington even never knew that the Neanderthal and the Cro-Magnon Man existed. George Washington never knew that Helium, Fluor or Neon existed. George Washington never knew that Neptune existed. George Washington never knew that gold in the sun existed. George Washington never knew that X-rays existed. George Washington never knew that radioactivity existed. [To be continued ad nauseam.]

Little known fact: the first Continental Congress was hampered by a promise made to George’s mom to never tell him the truth about dinosaurs and Santa.
