Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 29, 2019

What’s the second fastest sports object? The baseball, the tennis ball, the cricket ball, the golf ball, what?

What about the bullets fired during the biathlon? Surely they are faster than a shuttlecock.

And I am sure we all know that are like a burned-out 3 watt light bulbs. Most of them seem to be in politics…

Uncle Fester is proven correct! :) ♥

At 1st glance, I thought it was going to say that the shuttlecock was designed by George Washington after studying the shape of a whisky glass :)

Hence teh cartoon convention of showing a lightbulb to represent an idea.

I"m curious, what is the muzzle velocity of a round fired during a biathlon?

Was that 11,000 gallons a day. week, year, or eternity?

Too bad GW passed away in 1799.

20 watts is a dim bulb.

And yet, some brains are slower than a tube light.

The shuttlecock? Really? I’d love to see a citation proving that.

11,000 gallons a year!

I thought George Washington did that WHILE he was president….

I thought Jai-Alai was the fastest thing in sports.

so if I screw a light bulb in my nose…….
