Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 16, 2019

Maybe you can’t sneeze and stay asleep. But I have been awakened by a sneeze.

The cure for koumpounophobia is getting your junk caught in your zipper just once.

why would anyone be afraid of a little, plastic or metal disk with which to secure your clothing?

Sneezing may not be possible, but passing gas is another story entirely.

Just now reading an article in Scientific American magazine on electric eels!

Years ago, I read that an electric eel can also discharge a shock capable of killing divers from 20 feet away.

Enough electricity to light up 10 electric bulbs? Watts? Volts? Amps? Joules? For an instant? For a few seconds? Incandescents? LEDs? CFLs? THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

And snoring isn’t possible when you’re awake.

Forget cats and dogs. Let’s adopt electric eels!

I did cultivate a fear of button Levi’s when I was a kid. Too slow for an emergency pee run.

Coughing is.

What do you call a fear of hooks? Peterpanafobia?

The NEED to sneeze will wake you up enough to do so. You may not even remember so the net effect is the same.

Buttons? Are you serious?

How many Watts?

Which is why electric eels aren’t afraid of the dark…
