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

What’s worse?

a) Stuffing your mouth with caviar, but waiting for them to hatch instead of eating it.

b) Cooking and eating a sweaty ballerina shoe.

c) 8 billion people breathing in Los Angeles air.

So the population of Earth could literally “Stand on Zanzibar.”

Russian toe-foo.

That would be one way to cover LA with sewage. There aren’t enough port-potties in the world and there’d be no room for them if there were. (Someone else can stand on my spot, I don’t want it.)

Harry Harrison wrote Make Room, Make Room.

I guess he got to keep the movie rights money, even though “Soylent Green” was nothing like it.

Man, foot fetishists nowadays are like little children, compared to the gentlemen of yore.

Yore what?

Another reason not to go to LA!

why would they eat shoes?

Which begs the question of how the male Jawfish gets the eggs from the female Jawfish into its mouth?

African cichlids,South American cichlids & probably others I’m forgetting,also reproduce in this way…my Pink Convicts did this so many times I sold the babies to my local fish store!

They wouldn’t stand shoulder-to-shoulder long - the oxy would get depleted and the ones in the middle would collapse from hypoxia

Some parts of LA look like that has already happened.

Were the ballet shoes served with corn bread?

I’d love it, with 8 Billion people in LA and I’d be on the East Coast all alone …… except for my dogs ……. :)

I wonder if Marie was the inspiration of the Swedish Meatball?
