Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 22, 2023

I bet kids would rather play with Legos than a hard hat, but I did have a teacher whose son wanted a fireman’s hat or something so maybe some kids like to pretend they’re construction workers using hard hats too.

Hey, these are some pretty solid facts.

No wonder they (Legos) hurt so much when you step on them barefoot! Of course, so would beaver teeth, should that ever happen.

And I thought beavers had problems with tartar on their teeth. I was wrong.

How do they smelt the iron in northern Greenland?

Having stepped on a few Legos barefoot I can attest to them, too, being made from a substance harvested from meteorites. ~ Limpy McParent

Take care, may manic Corvallis cheerleader Yippy “Duck For Dinner It’s What We Eat” Cleaverord be with you, and gesundheit.

The same type of plastic as a standard hard hat… and almost any other standard injection-molded plastic doohickey around you. Even 3-D printed ones. I think they wanted to emphasize the strength of Legos. However, the strength of ABS depends more on the process than the material. I think they chose ABS due to its injection-molding properties and shiny finish.

So, if one of the primary points of the Beaver factoid is that their teeth are dark orange, shouldn’t the colorist have made them, oh, I don’t know, dark orange?

Anybody who has stepped on a piece of lego would be well aware of how true the first fact is.

I did not know that about beavers.

All about Beavers

Beaver 1: “Sir, the river is running at full capacity with no obstruction!”

Beaver 2: “Dam it!”

As I sat there scratching my a$$, and spying on my neighbor washing her beaver, one thing crossed my mind.

We have really weird pets in my neighborhood.

I loved watching “Leave it to Beaver”

Just so I could hear June say “Gosh Ward, you sure were hard on the Beaver last night”

Eat a beaver! Save a tree!

Do the beavers get the iron for their teeth from meteorites too?

So, why are the beaver’s teeth not colored in the drawing?

Nope. A standard hard hat is made from the same type of plastic as a classic Lego brick

Fortunately, I don’t require teeth with iron. Most donuts are very soft.

Reminds me of why I have always been a believer, don’t crowd a beaver. Also, fast on land and water.

Does the iron also contribute to the orange color?

I guess the artist ran out of dark orange pixels?
