Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 31, 2020

who wouldn’t want a pączki? not on Mardis Gras?

So Michigan’s idea of partying before Lent starts is to have a jelly donut?

On November 22nd 1963, John F Kennedy became the first US President to be assassinated in an automobile while in office.

Maybe the editors started from “Z” and worked their way up. So there.

Re ants, that is because the little one kept stopping to tie shoe.

The only Polish food I’ve ever eaten is kielbasa. Yum yum!

How did he get the automobile into the office?

Not surprising it took that long to reach ant. If you are a fan of Blackadder (British Comedy) It took a very long time to write a dictionary, https://binged.it/3rHdra2

The editors were in college at the time. One of them had bought 5 kilos of pot. They also had eaten 1,673 pizzas and 2.5 tons of Oreos.

Considering the automobile was patented in 1886, Roosevelt appearing in one in 1902 is about what many people looking back on it would expect.

Dare I ask how big that first dictionary was or how many people it took to carry one?

when did this Polish tradition start? Never heard of them in my Mass Polish community in the last century but over the past 24 years they became a thing in NY. Happy 2021 to all.

Teddy earned the nickname ‘roughrider’ while in the back seat with Mrs. Roosevelt.

Paczki Day is celebrated on ‘Fat Tuesday’ in Chicago, which has a larger population of Polish people than Warsaw Poland.

The editors of the First Oxford English Dictionary had a government grant.

Paczki Day? The answer to “How do you get jelly in your coffee?” is “you have to Sink The Bismarck”.

Mel Gibson just made a movie about Oxford dictionary.

And then they misspelled it. Uncle was livid.

Take care, may Jeegord be with you, and gesundheit.

What was the story with the Oxford Dictionary and the word “ant”?

Well then: Happy Paczki Day!

They should get to zebra any day now.

Those editors were either very dedicated or very lazy.

The fact of Teddy being the first in an automobile is not so unbelievable. Nixon was the first to talk to astronauts on the moon, some other prez was the first to speak on live television, another was the first to Tweet; Ok, maybe I’ll stop here…..

Paczkis? I’ll take Kolaches, please.

Le plume de ma ant.

In some places they celebrate Mardi Gras being half naked in parades, drinking and overall partying. In Michigan they eat pastries. Wow! Those people in Michigan really know how to live large.
