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

And I thought only cows played sports over the moon.

I haven’t got a thing to wear. Because I don’t have a kimono.

The actual term for the traditional Japanese clothing is “Yakata”.

To strike another note, Shepard and Mitchell were the first to carry our tradition of trashing an orb and abetted by NASA.

if ki mono is something to wear; is then mono ki Wear Something?

I don’t know why, but I find women wearing kimonos kind of sexy.

I thought kimono meant, can’t run fast.

It’s got to be quite a challenge to swing a golf club while wearing that moon suit. I wonder if he retrieved his golf balls and tees?

So pretty much anything the Japanese wear is a kimono. Even necklaces and earrings.

I can guarantee there are no old ants in my yard! I encourage them to move over to my neighbor’s yard.

This was Ed Mitchell’s 2nd attempt to throw a Javelin. The first was a failure while still on Earth as he couldn’t lift up the car.

So what do they call “a thing on the floor” ?

Black Garden Ant Kings not so much.

There’s a monster creature THING called “MOMO” (with “m” in place of “n”) that was in the news over two years ago.

The golf game had to be played WITHOUT the frictional influence of AIR.

Black garden ant queens can live 30 years? Wish that Labrador Retrievers could live that long! sigh…

In the I Love Lucy episodes in Japan, one of the kimonos Fred wore had shogi pieces depicted. Shogi is Japanese chess. The standard variation of shogi is unusual because captured pieces can be returned to the game for the player who captured them. Placing a captured piece on the board is called a “drop”.

Since there’s ice on the moon, I vote for hockey next time.

There was another astronaut who played javelin-catcher, but he will remain unnamed…

That isn’t true. I specifically remember watching them do the long jump, the triple jump, and speed walking.

When a geisha says that she doesn’t have a thing to wear, does that mean she can’t dress as a geisha or that she’s naked?

Kimono, kimono, kimono. Ha! Of course! Kimono is come from the Greek word himona, is mean winter. So, what do you wear in the wintertime to stay warm? A robe. You see: robe, kimono. There you go!

Kimono meaning: Believe it.

Moon Sports: Believe it.

Ant Age: Or not!

May the Hoard be with you.
