Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 25, 2019

Oh yeah, now I remember: It gets stale fast, and you have to find a place to spit it out.

I very rarely chew gum. Anybody know why or how it scientifically improves memory?

♫ Birds of a feather Yo Yo tap-tap ♫

♫ All flock together Yo Yo tap-tap ♫

♫ Yo Upon my word it’s the earlier bird gonna catch the worm ♫

♫ But Blue Jay-Z in the house sees it’s the second mouse gets the cheeze ♫

♫ tap-tap ♫

I was hoping that the phrase “Millions of years” would die off with Carl Sagan. It hasn’t been nor will there ever be a million years. How silly!

So they’re like woodpeckers?

Can chewing gum help people with Alzheimer’s disease?

Take care and may God bless.

You certainly need a basic education about “The History Of The Universe” for everyone. Written in basic English and other languages as well.

Huh?….I don’t get that

Is it the chewing gum, or the act of chewing gum, that improves your…your…remembering ability?

I happened to wonder this morning: What will this persons empire look like once his presidency ends? Rats leaving a ship?

Great advice! Now if I can only remember where I pu the gum…

It would be interesting to go back the view evidence of the landing site, maybe to put a MAGA hat on the flag staff.

you are nuts!

So why is my memory better now than it was back when I chewed gum regularly?

Boy all the comments sure busted his bubble.

OK, editing time here. Is it chewing gum, the act, which aids memory, or chewing gum the physical substance that does it, presumably by ingestion of some component of the gum itself? I mean, use English guys! ;-}

The Israeli lander will mess up the footprint.

It certainly can. Everyone can remember “Get rid of that gum” and “I hope you brought enough for everyone”…

Chewing gum also promotes homicidal tendencies for the person forced to sit near you.

It’s just amazing that you can just add millions of years to anything and it all works out. It’s such amazing magic. If science and facts disprove a theory you just add millions of years and abracadabra it becomes proof. No science needed. Science: The systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.

Everything can improve your memory. However, there are lots of things which would be more useful than chewing gum. A math book. A chess board. A good sleep.
