Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 04, 2021

Good evening, one and all! Here’s an oldie, but a goodie…or maybe just an oldie. Who knows? Here goes:

A man needs a job, so he applies at the local zoo. “We don’t have any openings for a zookeeper at the moment,” he’s told. “But our gorilla just died, and he was our main attraction. How about we pay you to put on this gorilla suit and pretend you’re the gorilla?”

Well, the man is desperate, so he takes the job. Soon, he grows into his rôle, and he’s jumping around, thumping his chest. Unfortunately, the gorilla head he’s wearing impairs his sight, and one leap takes him over the fence and into the lion’s pit. As he lies on the ground, dazed, he sees the lion coming toward him, closer and closer… He begins screaming, “Help! Help me!!”

When the lion gets to him, it opens its mouth…and says, “Shut up! Are you trying to get us both fired?”

What’s the name of this newly discovered shark? The Dalmatian shark? It looks almost like that dog breed from Croatia.

I think it’d be way cool to be a local and, when asked driving instructions by a tourist, say,

“Head south on that road over there, and turn left at the meteorite . . .”

Lord help us if they walk on dry land.

Couldn’t those sharks have grabbed taxis? Or subscribe to Uber?

Amazing that those walking sharks were discovered 45 years after Jabberjaw and Misterjaw.

How do they know the weight of the meteorite if it’s never been moved?

The Hoba Meteorite looks remarkably like a chocolate brownie. I wouldn’t let anyone move MY 60 ton chocolate brownie, either!

Does the pelican have a lady friend in Wexford?

And their reason for walking instead of swimming like normal sharks do? Why to get in line for a good equity offer, of course.

Take care, may relied upon studio gaffer Irving “Union Break Time!” Schwartzord be with you, and gesundheit.

What does a 60 ton meteorite do? Anything it wants.

I sometime wonder if all these new species are mutations from A-Bomb test radiations…

Here’s the truth about those “sharks”:

And how big was the largest meteorite that hit the Earth? As in measurements…

Is the shark walking because it has a fitbit?

Did anybody else wonder how the pelican was recognized? Someone who could recognize one specific pelican out of a flock of pelicans happened to be in the spot? And how did that person identify one pelican out of the flock? Even if there was no flock, how would anyone know that pelican was the escaped bird from Ireland?

I wonder how much damage that meteorite caused.

Why is no one marketing any iron in that meteorite to swordsmiths?

I’ve visited the meteor. It lies in a sort of valley. Guess what caused the valley. But then again, Namibia is ons amazing country with dunes, seas and open areas. Where bushmen still hunt using poisoned arrow heads.

How have they determined that the meteor has NEVER been moved? If it fell 80,000 years ago it laid there for easily 40,000 years before anything human would have seen it or had the ability to know what they were looking at let alone document anything about when it arrived in the first place. Someone had a wild imagination when they drew these conclusions.

Walking sharks – now we know what species evolved into lawyers.
