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

when was the last time Nintendo made another video game based solely on Donkey Kong?

Stanford’s inaugural class included Hoover? Damn!

Best justification for chocolate snack NOW!

Maybe the chocolate can calm Donkey Kong.

Now I know why Mario jumps so much.

“Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.”

Whereas milk chocolate improves your moo-ed…

I’ll have another, then. Dark chocolate, that is.

I read that one of the most memorable bloopers occurred when the President was being introduced to a large crowd in (i think) Louisiana, The emcee said “Ladies and Gentlemen..the President of the United States Hubert Heever!” ;o{

Let’s start a movement: Dark Chocolate for Washington!

I find that chocolate of any kind improves my mood, but my expanding waistline depresses me, so I eat more chocolate.

Before Herbert Hoover got into politics, he fed and saved more lives from starvation than any other human. Ever. Check out http://herberthoover.us/Hoover_About.html The author, Finn D. John, has done an amazing amount of research on what Hoover really accomplished, before his depression-hit presidency and his unfortunate economic response to it. For the recap version: http://offbeatoregon.com/H116_Hoover.htm

Hoover is a much under-appreciated man. Came up from modest roots, made a ton of money for himself and decided that it was his responsibility to contribute to society. He did much to help rebuild Europe after WWI. Such a shame that his efforts to lead us through the Depression failed.

I heard on one of the radio morning talk shows that the most common thing that women think of during intimate please is chocolate. I always doubted it, but now?……..

And wine contains alcohol which can REALLY improve your mood…

Would be interested to learn how much chocolate one would have to eat to get the therapeutic dose necessary to combat depression.

Based on its effects on me, I’d say that Serotonin is in ALL forms of chocolate! :-)
