Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 21, 2022

Then poor Poland met Hitler and it only got worse when they ran into Stalin

The jumping worm is also a pretty serious invasive species in North America.

Five million Polish people signed the card, but there were still more vowels in the U.S. Declaration of Independence than in the card.

“The atoms in your body are billions of years old.”

Which means you are nothing more than a temporary arrangement of those atoms.

“What about us Eves? All you talk about is the Adams, nobody wants to talk about … what’s that? .. oh, atoms not Adams. Never mind.” ~ Emily Litella

Take care, may renowned Polish polish salesman Andrzej “Buy Two Bottle Pack For Price Of Two Single Pack You No Make Deal But You Have Two Bottle” Dorksiord be with you, and gesundheit.

…why limit it to billions…just admit there is an incalculable eternity past AND future…

A man thought he was a worm, and thus he was afraid of chickens, because, well, chickens eat worms. Obviously.

So he went into therapy. After 6 months the therapist managed to convince him that he no longer was a worm, and as a final test, he needed to face chickens.

Upon seeing the chickens he got scared and hid himself from the chickens, and seeing this his therapist asked “Why are you hiding from the chickens, are you still thinking you’re a worm?”

The man replied “No I know I’m not a worm. But do the chickens know?”

my cheek pouches reach my elbows

really cool of Poland

How does that atoms thing work?

How the heck did they get 5 million signatures in Poland in 1926? Impressive!

A helium atom walks into a bar.

The bartender says “Sorry, we don’t serve noble gases in here.”

The helium doesn’t react.

You can never trust an atom.

They make up everything

Last call for atoms.

The following was heard in a courtroom:

“According to Scientists, atoms are as old the universe.

So therefore your honour she was legal"

Until next time.

Most earthworms in northern North America are invasive species. But, they are welcome in lawns and gardens. It’s in woods and forests where they are a problem.

Even though earthworms are welcome in lawns and gardens, jumping worms are not. The community composting site here asks suppliers to NOT drop off yard waste that contains jumping worms.

They are a big problem in soil quality. They have now been found in my area.

Billions. I’m suddenly feeling a lot older.

We are star stuff. Billions and billions.

The way to find an Asian jumping worm is look for a burrow with a one foot ceiling.

Hang in there Poland and neighbors. The appropriators do what they do, but God never forgets.

That was very nice of Poland to honor the USA that way. Nobody else did.

How kind of the Poles to send Uncle Sam a card four years early.

Gee, outside the hamster, this news to me!

Someone needs to explain that atom factoid to me.

It is a shame that most of the people from Poland that signed the anniversary card may not have survived the Germans and Russians during WWII.

Idiots keep the evolution myth alive to keep from having to live without thinking.
