Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 12, 2021

I thought President George Washington’s middle name was George?

Also, that thing about alligators also applies to some other species of egg-laying animals (although at different temperature thresholds)

President Harry S. Truman didn’t didn’t have a middle name either. Just the initial “S”.

The first seventeen United States presidents, except John Quincy Adams (sixth), William Henry Harrison (ninth) and James Knox Polk (eleventh), did not have middle names.

Most boring fact in the universe: George Washington didn’t have a middle name.

Poor bear. Must’ve been sad and depressed about no picanic baskets. I hopes they turns off the power and brings him down.

“Don’t you know you got to shock the bear. Shock the bear. Shock the bear to life.”

What gender are alligators if the temperature is 87-89 ?

Always said females are cold-hearted.

Did not know that about alligator eggs. Barely registers as a ‘surprise’ that Washington had no middle name, much less something closer to ‘astonishment’. I’ve personally been acquainted with people who had no middle names and never thought of it as a big deal.

So with climate change and rising temperatures alligators may become extinct as only one gender will be produced in a warmer world? The consequences of human actions are far reaching and unanticipated indeed.

I have it on good authority that his middle name was Yammerfleepkolosheffenhyde.

Take care, may famed scat crooner Mel “The Velvet Drunk” Tormetord be with you, and gesundheit.

So George Washington didn’t have a middle name. Neither did my mother. What of it?!?

Washington’s middle name was Idunno

Come to think of it, I don’t think Abraham Lincoln had a middle name did he?

Explains why males are hot ’n ready and females cool ’n aloof.

And alligator eggs incubated at 88 degrees will be trans.

Apparently, those incubated at 87-89 degrees will be transgators.

That took place in the spring of 2010 when the bear could not find any Charmin left on a shelf.

George Washington didn’t need one.

So, in nature too, males are hotter than females?

How ever, George Carver’s middle name was Washington.

\\//_

I don’t have a middle name…

Is it just me, or does it look like Georgie Boy is sniffing the bear’s butt?

I am utterly more shocked than that bear that Washington doesn’t have a middle name! I need to sit down and take that in! Mind BLOWN to the exosphere!!!! Done it again, Riply!!!

my mother doesn’t have a middle name….i’m related to Washington

And those croc eggs incubated above 200f will be soft boiled!

The scientists determined this by noting which alligators were hot-heads with bad tempers…

Harry Truman didn’t have a middle name either.

A bit of quick research revealed the following. Alligator eggs incubated between the higher and lower temps will result in an equal ratio of male-female hatchlings. Regarding the bear, it finally climbed back down the pole on its own, without being harmed.

I guess Washington’s parents didn’t think it was necessary.

Re alligator eggs. Hence the term cold shoulder
