Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 12, 2022

If Hong Kong has a lot of Roll-Royce cars, there’s bound to be a high chance to have Grey Poupon.

The enteric nervous system is connected to the brain through the vagus nerves, the same nerves which control the heart and lungs, but there’s some evidence that it can function even if that connection breaks. However, because of those other organs, most people with vagus nerve injuries have issues that make it pretty hard to determine digestive health.

So now I can say my diet was overruled by my Enteric Nervous System and that pizza isn’t my fault!

Yesterday, I asked my gut if it wanted fish and chips and a cup of Earl Grey tea in honor of the Queen.

Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity.

The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the Windshields of their new high speed trains.

Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer’s back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow.

The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:“Defrost the chicken.”

One more.

“How was your blind date?”, a college student asked her 21 year old roommate.

“Terrible!” the roommate answered. “He showed up in his 1932 Rolls Royce.”

“Wow! That’s a very expensive classic car. What’s so bad about that?”

“He was the original owner.”

Until next time.

I have a cat with 8 digits on each front paw.

Go visit Key Largo, all of the cats that were owned by Ernest Hemingway have six toes on each foot.

All Rolls-Royce cars are built in West Sussex, England, United Kingdom (Pop. 858,852), so I’ll bet that statistic isn’t technically correct.

And Lee Ka-Caiu once lamented, “Yes, it was beauty that killed the beast,” upon emerging from the wreckage of his purple Rolls Royce just after talking to his girlfriend on the phone.

Take care, may famed pizza delivery man John “Hey It’s A Living And I’ve Learned To Ignore The Cameras” Holmesord be with you, and gesundheit.

Pandas…awww…cute!!

Although I heard a grown one once bit off a trainer’s hand(not in t his country)

I counted five toes on each paw! What am I missing?

Why am I only counting 5 digits?

Saw some x-rays showing foot problems. One of them was a foot with 6 toes. One of the bones that was normally straight had a “Y” shape, and the toe bones came off the ends of the “Y”.

If I let my gut make the decisions I”d be eating donuts all day long!

I counted only five. ???

They’re more into Ferraris and Lamborghinis

I wonder how many of those Rolls have a jar of Grey Poupon in the glove box?

You sure those aren’t Rolls-Royce knockoffs? They’re pretty good at those. ;)

I’ve seen a Rolls parked at a Holiday Inn once. BION.

Can Panda’s “flip you off” twice with each front paw?
