Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 28, 2024

Aria Darten One time I was 12 inches tall.

Bim Turton One time there were 41 squirrels. And here we thought they were making candy.

Asim Kandac One time I was 0.5 inches tall.

Keiji Sawasaki That should feed the termites.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

And the fortune in the cookie was, “that was not chicken!”

" Good luck comes to you as you cut back on the giant desserts. "

So what was the fortune?

fortune was…you’re getting fat

All very interesting, but I liked the squirrel one the best. :-)

Inside the giant fortune cookie was the following advice: “BE THOUGHTFUL, DON’T WASTE”

I’m left wondering what the significance of the sewing machine is in .4" jeans story.

If the fortune cookie is removed from baking about halfway through, Daria also discovered it makes a great, pre-warmed neck pillow for her La-Z-Girl recliner.

And now what do the squirrels do for a living?

I don’t think those jeans are going to fit onto those squirrels unless they go on a nut-free diet

It wasn’t a conveyor belt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it was a funnel…

“Trained” the squirrels to crack nuts? Had to be a very short training session.

Ironically, she forgot to put a fortune in it… ㋡

I have visited a model food factory in Japan. This is the first I have heard of model food carved from wood. Oishii!!!!

That fortune cookie must have been the large print edition.

The thread count on the fabric used for those jeans must be astronomically high, and the needle almost impossible to thread with thread as thin as spiders’ web.

I wonder if Tim Burton could train squirrels to crack the nuts in Congress?

wait, those were REAL squirrels? I know it was 2005 but I thought they were CGI, or at least animatronic

It’s a shame there are so many people out their that need get a life.

That giant fortune cookie looks a lot like one of those neck pillows, or a flotation device.

Well, termites “wood” like them!
