Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 28, 2023

People can’t drive in two dimensions, forget about three! I think I’m going to buy a horse. Yeah, I’m old and yes, I can ride.

I dearly hope they can save this burning ship with all these electro cars before we will have another oil spill in the Wadden Sea!

flying cars.

mid air collisions.

I once had a GPS tell me to turn left into a solid brick wall. The road that I was supposed to turn left onto was a quarter of a mile down the road.

Coffee, tea, or me. ~ Smiley Sally, Stewardess Extraordinaire 1951

May the soared be with you as they are with the free. Aaaaannnndd …. (wait for it) …. (here it comes) …. gesundheit.

The one I watch out for is when the GPS says to turn left at a light. I make sure it is a green light! If a right turn and red, I stop first.

Great. Flying While Intoxicated. Opens up a whole new division in traffic patrol.

GPS doesn’t know everything.

Death by GPS is just another term for Darwinism in action.

That is the benefit of turbine engines (such as in the Abrams tank). They will burn anything that can be vaporized and will combust.

Don’t expect flying cars to eliminate traffic jams. That was shown to be the case on the Jetsons

Sometimes it’s really hilarious where you end up with a GPS! I’ve ended up almost in the lake, at a dead end in a woods, and at a building under construction!

They’ve already got self driving cars and drones you can operate using your cell phone with “point and go” capabilities – if the AI is behind the wheel, I’m all for an air drone ride

Death by GPS a.k.a. Survival of the fittest.

Since we are going to have flying cars, I’m starting a company called RoofArmor®, Inc. I’ve seen how y’all drive.

was qantas using that mixture for fuel, or to cook in-flight meals??

When GPS first got popular it showed my private road as a usable road ….. It use to be an old County winter road …… I kept having people going by …… some were smart enough to turn around but there were those that were just too d*mb to turn around “BEFORE” they got stuck …… it took about two years before it got straightened out ……….. :)

Instead of punching in 77 Sunset Strip into the GPS somebody put in 666 Sunset Strip.

In the early days of testing biofuels, biodiesel was put into buses. The exhaust smelled like french fries.

Sometimes Google Maps gets really confused taking me around in circles so I also have Waze but Waze too isn’t perfect.

Every “flying car” I’ve ever seen (and this one is no exception, I looked it up) is just a car shape with wings. That’s called “an airplane”.

Oh and while I was driving, GPS once told me to drive across a bridge—it was a pedestrian bridge. True.

GPS leads to disaster . . . where are all the mother in law jokes?

I can’t complain too much. In it’s infancy, GPS couldn’t navigate you through residential neighborhoods and parking lots.

Since I got my first GPS, my philosophy has been, “Don’t give up your brain to the GPS.” If I follow its instructions when it tells me to make a left turn into a river, that’s on me.

My late father was an Air Force navigator. He looked at the map before we went on a trip and then never consulted it again. We always got there without ever turning around or making an unforced detour. He would have laughed out loud at GPS.

The look of the presenter of Alef Aeronautics makes me staying away of even thinking of trying their flying vehicle. That guy looks like a mad scientist, or looks the way that most of the hell-thematic movies depict Satan.
