Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 18, 2019

I found the meaning of life here for free.

All these eBay tidbits sound kind of like the Alfred Yankovic parody of Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way.”

The meaning of life is that cuddly but annoying grandmothers are worth more.

i wonder what a grumpy,misguided and no social redeeming grampa is worth?

Is that a reference to Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life?” Did he sell a DVD or videotape of that film? What am I missing here?

I don’t know what is more disgusting, that someone would pick up the chewed wad of gum as a souvenir in the first place, or that people might actually bid $14000 for it.

Cute, Zoe.

The answer is 42. It should be worth more than $3.26. After all it took 7.5 million years to calculate. ;)

That chewing gum is a bargain – you could use the DNA in it to construct another Britney Spears…but, why would you want to?

Is this “EBay Day” or something?

And. . . Britney bought it.

Could you extract some DNA off the gum and clone Britney? Oh, the horror!

So how is the authenticity certified? Maybe I can go into business selling celebrity ABC gum. I could make big bucks just chewing gum!

That would be a lot of money for the gum – a mint? Could we call it Spear’s Mint?

Today’s RBION is an ode to human stupidity.

One man’s trash is usually another man’s item with which to annoy his wife…
