Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 23, 2020

Wondering why they would have homework with them while outside & in snowy mountains?

I suppose it makes sense that if you eat a scorpion you would need a painkiller.

So I guess this whole nonsense of schools giving homework is actually good for something! Who knew?

The estate looks like it could use some work…

There’s a grasshopper that eats mice.

The skunk mouse has the ability to market the painkiller hiding the fact that it’s highly addictive and poisonous to humans. :D

Teacher: Very funny. Now what really happened to your homework?

The estate appears to be just a facade! :o\

“The fog ate my homework.”

I’m going to have to try that scorpion trick…

And the boys got detentions for not turning in their homework.

Does the mouse need the pain killer cause it got stung by the scorpion? Or does it just have a head ache?

I have a book about Arizona flora and fauna which mentions the grasshopper/scorpion mouse. It was given 20 years ago from my Arizona Grandparents: Chuck Waggin’s “A Light-Hearted Look at the Desert.”

who let the dogs out?

I hope the meeting doesn’t include breeding…

I guess they used the old “Dog ate my homework” excuse too many times.

“We got lost and ended up in Scotland, and a few hundred Golden Retrievers ate our homework.”
