Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 27, 2020

Cleopatra was Greek, a descendant of Ptolemy (one of Alexander’s generals), not Egyptian.

Something tells me someone mistook Elizabeth Taylor for Cleopatra.

Cleopatra looks like Klinger (Jamie Farr) from M*A*S*H.

I liked Claudette Colbert as Cleopatra.

So this turtle attacks alligators and wins?

Nice pic of Cleopatra and her conjoined twin.. oh, that’s her nose.

Take care and gesundheit.

Scientist number 1: Tom drop down one more, to 59. Wait a second…damn we killed him.

I’ve seen a coin from Cleopatra’s reign and that drawing is not an inaccurate depiction. By all accounts, she attracted men by her personality and intellect, not her looks.

They’ll survive, but they won’t like it…

On this day in history on August 27th 2008 Democrats nominate Barack Obama for president, first African American nominated by a major political party for the office of President of the United States.

If Cleopatra looked anything like this depiction, I wonder how she was able to seduce a man like David! :o\

Too bad we are fast approaching the last iteration of human “Civilization” Darwin Awards all around!

So -59 degrees kills an Arctic Fox?

So both Rex Harrison and Richard Burton were Romans.

Those Arctic Foxes must have lived entirely on frozen food.

That may be surviving, but it sure isn’t living…

Wikipedia claims that Arctic foxes don’t even shiver at -58 degrees Fahrenheit.

“The Arctic fox lives in some of the most frigid extremes on the planet, but they do not start to shiver until the temperature drops to −70 °C (−94 °F).”
