Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 19, 2019

I was waiting for the Chevaliers one to say that more than 300 people a day had their ashes scattered and spread into their omelette that used more than 5,000 eggs.

I would worry more about the toxic waste than the cremation remains.

How did you survive the long journey, Reg?

“I taste dead people!”

Someone mentioned the Ganges in the comment section of today’s Drabble.

Ripley’s how long did it take to crack open 5,000 eggs ?

How many crawdads did they use?

sniff! sniff!

did Aussie guy make doo doo in his crate?

In the United States, someone tried to use a large crate to ship himself to his grandmother. He was discovered and arrested.

Giant omelette? Gimme gimme gimme!!!

That’s a very poor depiction of the people of that region.

Ok eew, on the India one & they didn’t say how many crawfish were used in the omelette!

That guy saved so much money on air prices! Also, I wonder if he got arrested when he got there!

Ok eew, on the cremated remains & they never said how many crawfish were used in the omelette!

That delish omlete reminds me of the big fried egg in film “Caveman” with Ringo Start!

Pity that GC cuts off the first panel [see below]. CK does the same to the Phantom, then censors anyone providing a link to see the whole comic.

Some drug lords cut their cocaine with cremains… Believe it or not!!! LOL

Aren’t Chevaliers technicians that work on Chevrolet’s?

The act of eating eggs constitutes fowl abortion.

Yeah! So what’s new!

“Just a few weeks after Parcel Post began, an Ohio couple named Jesse and Mathilda Beagle “mailed” their 8-month-old son James to his grandmother, who lived just a few miles away in Batavia. According to Lynch, Baby James was just shy of the 11-pound weight limit for packages sent via Parcel Post, and his “delivery” cost his parents only 15 cents in postage (although they did insure him for $50). The quirky story soon made newspapers, and for the next several years, similar stories would occasionally surface as other parents followed suit.”https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/brief-history-children-sent-through-mail-180959372/?fbclid=IwAR0nRqvJHwXHh_oWvUe-DFLehI0KYMGYrnOdpcwVXt3J2TZ1RvnB2yHiGBk

With our US mail system, Reg would have starved to death going from San Francisco to Los Angeles…

Yes, about the Ganges, but the Ghats are down river and bathing and drinking up river!

I’m posting a site for an article here that answers the questions about the giant omelette. They do this pretty much every year, it seems! https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/news/article_eff8b39e-1fce-5399-a606-fc25e08b3685.html

Watching a video of them making the omelette. It looks more like scrambled eggs than a giant omelette. I mean, it still looks delicious but the way they’re “stirring” the egg mixture is actually scrambling them.
