Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 08, 2019

What was used as Iron Age hair gel?

Just how do they know about the hair gel??

Many things done “Old School” do not seem proper by today’s standards but they worked ;-)

Can we possibly make the cat comment more convoluted?

I miss color. ?

Not the right enzyme, huh? Any stool checker can tell you that.

Cats know a soft touch when they see one.

…to break down ALL corn. Our bodies (or deer bodies, whomever is eating said corn) can use and absorb some kernels. However, individual kernels of corn have different chemical makeup, causing some to be absorbed in the digestion process and others to pass through to be deposited elsewhere, conveniently in the middle of a pile of……fertilizer

I would be interested to find out how they came up with that cat story.

Does color cost extra on the Internet now?

If humans couldn’t break down corn, there would be zero calories. I believe we cannot break down the hulls ( I think that’s what the outer cover’s called).

Our bodies can’t break down corn? Gee, you don’t say. That was obvious, Ripley. That’s why it shows up in the toilet later.

That’s why they invented whisky.

This is why those who fear GMOs are so funny!: Today’s corn has evolved from the Aztec version that required processing with lye before eating.

More precisely our bodies can not process the outer pericarp (the cellulose that encases each kernel of maize), once that is removed the inner portion of the kernel is extremely nutritious as it is primarily composed of starch (62%), protein and fiber (19%), water (15%), and oil (4%).

About the corn-the proof is in the p… Well, you know what I mean. lol!

How about popcorn?

Any Frenchman knows corn is cattle food and considers it so…Judging by the “Cattle” in thecheck out line..they seem to be right…

Color will be up soon for this feature.

Early Elvis imitators…..

I didn’t need Ripley’s to tell me that about corn~

Don’t question the hair gel; it’ll just have you wondering about the lipstick…

Pigs and cows can’t properly digest whole corn kernels, either.
