Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 18, 2023

However, Beatriz was very disappointed when Cave Waiting never became an Olympic event.

South Korea’s program is basically a stipend available for people aged 19-39 living in a state of self-imposed isolation, who are making below the median national income. They don’t seem to need to reenter society to get the money, but a lot of them will probably be a lot more likely to, since better financial security/independence would help with a lot of the most common reasons for people to shut themselves in.

If I had to choose between the three, I would choose the cave :-)

Maybe they should stop selling their unwanted and unloved children to the orphanages who in turn sell them to dumb Americans or to become sex workers; but hay we are because of overturning roe vs wade, doomed to our own unwanted and unloved children who will experience the same process who is profiting

Take care, may famed dad joke collector Steve “Fish Keep Their Money In A River Bank” McGuffaword be with you, and gesundheit.

I like when RBION has three common themed items in a single comic.

I am an introvert. You can keep your sweat and your $500.

And when she came out of the cave,she said her name was Wilma Flintstone

The lady is batty

Are we supposed to sniff like dogs???

Ummmmm……..other people’s sweat. And you laugh at doggies sniffin’ butts. I just gets more anxious.

As they say – sometimes the cure is worse than the affliction…no thanks on the smelling sweat.

So, there is science behind the whole “choose up sides” deal?

Does that mean that psychiatrists are now going to start working out before treating their patients.

Beatriz’ research may be germane to the existence of those isolated South Koreans — to the tune of a dollar a day!

The sweat thing must be working. You don’t see any socially anxious people in the locker room. /s

That five hundred dollars U.S. equals ₩667,545 Korean won.

I have been next to people who had really good sweat smell but only a couple of times. Chalked it up to compatible pheromones. Delicious experience.
