Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 18, 2021

One time I gained 41 pounds to play a part and then lost it all and grew my beard out so they could finish the show.

May the Lord be with you.

Just imagine: eating a bucket of flatid planthopper nymphs at a movie theater. Insects are a good source of protein after all.

For anybody else that doesn’t know:

nymph: /nimf/ an immature form of an insect that does not change greatly as it grows, e.g. a dragonfly, mayfly, or locust

I think I heard an alternate version of “Baby Shark” playing in the background.

Ah the lure of the nymph. Heavy butter, please.

Take care, may theater mogul Ystitle O’Worde be with you, and gesundheit.

Weren’t the sharks extinct before humans appeared?

? What? I give up ?

Added to, “Don’t eat yellow snow,” we now have, “Don’t eat walking popcorn.”

Then “the Meg” grows up!

You really, Really, REALLY don’t want an infestation of Flatid Planthoppers in a movie theater.

The movie wasn’t worth that effort.

The Flatid Planthpper Nymph is a favorite snack of ladybugs when buttered.

Female Megladon sharks brought about extinction through practiced birth control.

And he developed Type II diabetes during that period of changing weight.

Just what does that have to do with this Ripley’s edition?

The planthopper isn’t the only troubled soul, when I’m flacid I’ve been mistaken for a string bean…

Newborn Giraffes are also 6 feet tall.

Why didn’t they film the second part first and just use makeup for the beard? Really, a beard shouldn’t take THAT long to grow out.
