Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 26, 2022

Hey, Fellow comic fans! Everybody loves a good backrub, right? And I have a lot of backrub jokes to share, including this one:

It was a difficult takeoff for an overloaded passenger jet from a too-short runway, complete with wind shear, but finally they were in the air. “Dang, that was a rough one,” remarked the pilot, unaware that his intercom was still on. “After a takeoff like that, I’m ready for a cup of coffee and a good backrub!”

As a female flight attendant rushed up the aisle to tell the captain of his omission, a passenger called behind her, “Don’t forget the coffee!”

OK, I’m not buying the turtle claim.

In regards to bat-pollenated agave plants, we also would have that 1958 song by The Champs.

And Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system despite not being closest to the sun.

There was an agave plant down the road from my building which bloomed last summer. Each agave plant only blooms once in its lifetime (at the very end) with a “mother bud” that rapidly grows to the size of a tree over just a couple of weeks. It was a pretty impressive thing to see day by day.

That tequila story is just batty!

Ironically, there was a Jeopardy! question (answer?) tonight that covered the bat/agave (and saguaro) subject.

Let the Uranus jokes fly…. :)

“What’ll we do when we hatch, Leonardo?” “Get ourselves dumped down the sewer, get covered with some slime, meet a talking rat, develop ninja skills, and chow down on pizza.”

Hey, you experience decade after decade of emotional trauma from people making fun of your name and see if you aren’t super cold as well.

Spalding notwithstanding, especially after the desert mescal challenge. Well during as well.

Take care, may famed turtle aficionado Myrtle “It Was My Destiny From Birth” Carapaceord be with you, and gesundheit.

Bruce Wayne is a Mexican drunk?

Back in the 50s the pronunciation of the blue planet was your-a-nus. On the evening news, maybe walter cronkite, reported that NASA has launched a satellite to probe your-a-nus. Shortly there after the pronunciation was changed to yeer-ah-nus.

Sorry, but I wouldn’t miss tequila.

What are bats? was a question concerning Agave plants being pollinated by bats on Jeopardy last night…….

This explains why people get bat $h!# (aka guano) crazy on Tequila

Is Uranus colder than a witch’s t1t?

Who are Roger, Billy, & Suzy?

Glad for the turtles.

Too cold for polar bears, but wonder what could be living on Uranus.

Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun in our Solar System, but Uranus is the coldest. One suggestion is that convection in its atmosphere is somehow inhibited so that there are no large-scale over-turning motions such as you get in other planetary atmospheres. Another is that Uranus lost most of its primordial heat early in its life.

I thought Uranus was mildly warm. I know mine is.

In my day tequila was my drink of choice, thanks bats!

I’ll never understand how anyone can tell how cold or hot another planet is.
