Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 22, 2021

Ay Hehson One time I was 18 feet tall.

Wandy Arhol One time I had 1,000 copies of one of his sketches. One time I had $251. One time I had $20,001.

One time I added 456 words to a dictionary. Dad itself wasn’t added just this year. It was there before my dad passed away.

May the Lord be with you.

A cannibal was sharing a stewed Olympic sprinter with his wife. Suddenly he cried, “I must have finally cooked you something you like! I’ve never seen you eat up anything this quickly!”

It’s like an art lottery ticket. I hope they tell the person who got the real Warhol because I can’t imagine telling people “I have a very valuable sketch by Andy Warhol—in theory. And I’m leaving it to you in my will—in theory.”

oobleck means, a mixture of corn starch and water that behaves like a liquid waen at resr. You can read the rest, it’s in the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Dad Bod is two words.

I have dozens of facts, I’ve accumulated over the years, that I’d love to contribute to RBION, but I resent the idea of having to see England repeated after each town name, as if it were an unknown, tiny, obscure country, no one has heard of…

But for some reason American towns don’t need to be validated… Why not New York, America… There are 14 New Yorks around the globe, including one in Lincolnshire (Yes, that’s Lincolnshire, UK)… There are seven New Yorks in America… So why not mention which New York this art museum located ?

Yes, I know I’ve moaned about this before, but every time I see yet another example it catches in my craw… Sorry… I love and respect my country of birth, Britain was and still is a major player in the world, and I hate to see it reduced to needing to be qualified, every time, but American cities don’t… Either all or none. Why the need for discrimination? And don’t preach that RBION is an American franchise… it’s an international, multimedia franchise, located in Asia, Europe, Australia etc..

‘Dad Bod’ is two words, if I’m not mistaken.

Nothing better on a cold Winter’s day than a fluffernutter and tomato soup made with milk on the side.

For those of you who have lived in TX, you’ll understand this. If you haven’t – this may give you some insight! And if you’re thinking of moving or visiting there, I’m thinking this may be a helpful tip for you!

One day, “MY MOM” a very normal Texas lady was drivin’ across a high bridge in Austin.

As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixin’ to jump. (“fixin” in Texas means: has the means or abilities to take action)

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said,“Please don’t jump! Think of your dear mother and father.”

He replied, “My mom and dad are both dead; I’m going to jump.”

She said, “Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children.”

He replied, “I’m not married, and I don’t have any kids.”

She said, “Well, then you just remember the Alamo.”

He replied,’What’s the Alamo?’’

She replied, "Well, bless your little heart! You just go ahead and jump you Yankee, b#st#rd. You’re holding up traffic”

I was making Fluffernutters back in the sixties, why so long for Merriam Webster to recognize it?

An oobleck is a tall, four sided tapering monument for a Egyptian with a lisp.

An oobleck is a tall, four sided tapering monument built with stacking chairs.

More like trivia than items difficult to believe. Oh well, still a nice place to be snarky.

Take care, may renowned stand-up comedian Shecky “I Tell Them It’s A Story So If They Don’t Laugh I Never Said It Was A Joke” Greenord be with you, and gesundheit.

tbh, i’ve had fluffernutters since i was kid and that’s what they’ve always been called

I wonder if it is legal to sell a forgery, even if you tell the prospective buyer it is a forgery. The issue is not that buyer, but ultimate buyers down the road. And maybe other issues as well.

Oobleck’s been around since 1949. Why the sudden interest?

1000 copies at $250 = $250,000. Masterpiece, $20,000, Cool profit from the deal, about $230,000. What a racket!

It’s not an abbreviation, it’s an acronym.

Warhol was living proof that if you dress funny and paint a soup can idiots will think its art and pay tens, even hundreds of thousands for crap.

No better sandwich than the Fluffernutter! It’s gotta be Fluff and Peter Pan peanut butter, though! Also, currently my bread of choice is: Arnold’s Oatnut. My! that makes a great sandwich. Used to be 12-Grain.

There’s a record for stacking chairs? I had no idea.

A Fluffernutter is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but instead of jelly it uses Marshmallow Fluff, a brand of marshmallow spread made in Lynn, Massachusetts.
