Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 19, 2024

That means a whole lotta football players owe Usain Bolt royalties.

If only the cockroaches would run in a straight line we could have them race together.

Giraffes are typically two to three times as tall as humans and spend all of their time outside.

So, the claim about lightning striking them more doesn’t seem that hard to believe. I’m not sure who was counting to make sure it was 30 times more than people, though.

How often do giraffes get struck by people?

The world has gone crazy, if you can trademark a gesture. I wonder if giving someone the finger has been trademarked?

That doesn’t surprise me, since giraffes are as tall as telephone poles.

I can think of a few gestures I’d like to have the copyrights to.

Grilled giraffe, but it’s their own fault, they don’t come in out of the storm.

Fortunately, there’s a useful gesture that we can use in response to this news which is in the public domain.

so who made the cockroaches run 3 miles?

Three miles per hour is about the average walking speed for an adult human.

A quote from one of my favorite Andy Griffith Show episodes:Barney to Opie: “Giraffes, now, giraffes are selfish, just goin’ around, lookin out for #1, gettin’ hit by lightning. Boy, those giraffes are selfish.”

Didn’t Bolt get that pose from Johnny Bravo??

I was impressed at the speed of the roach that entered my apartment. Fortunately for me, it wasn’t a fast thinker and chose a location that made it easy to kill.

Dear Mr.Giraffe——Duck,you sucker!!
