Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 26, 2024

If the woman is blonde, a math book will put her to sleep.

(sorry, couldn’t resist that joke)

This is why red-headed Irish girls can drink me under the table.

Q: Why was Dracula such a bad CEO?

A: Because he refused to meet with stake holders.

Vampires are NOT real, you big DOPE!

I agree with the Anesthesia for red haired women, I always remind the doctors that my hair is reddish. I was awake during a colonoscopy., I would prefer not to be awake during a procedure.

Christopher Lee’s Dracula’s stake kept rotting away…

I read somewhere there is a disease that causes people to extra sensitive to sunlight and that the vampire legends started because those who had it only came out at night. They were very pale from lack of sunlight so people thought they went out to get blood to nourish their bodies and bring out some reddish color to their skin.

Better have the name spelled properly – although I appreciate the facts better!

o, yeah, which diseases?

Why Redheads May Need More Anesthesia

I went to school with a knockout redheaded girl

Black cats were originally considered to bring good luck to a household. What happened?

so you need to buy redheads 3 drinks instead of 2 at the bar?

All painkillers and analgesics are less effective on redheads

That is wrong. Dracul means Dragon. Add the A on the end and it is Son of the Dragon.

That is why black cats are lucky,.

Christopher Lee also played Sherlock Holmes and The Mummy. More important to his career, though late in it, he played Saruman in The Lord of the Rings to great critical appreciation. He was a fine actor and given good material he shone. He was great in that unnerving folk horror film The Wicker Man (his favorite role). He played Rochefort, to powerful effect, in Richard Lester’s THREE MUSKETEERS He played a villain in Star Wars Part Two: Attack of the Clones and the Bond villain in The Man with the Golden Gun. Lee was in British Army Intelligence during WW2, and it should be noted he spoke fluent German, Italian and French. Ironic, his playing a Bond villain later. He was given a CBE by the Queen and a lifetime achievement Bram Stoker Award (I received one of those myself, for my book Black Butterflies.)

Happy World Dracula Day!

Today it’s 127 years since Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” was first published.

Christopher Lee liked playing Dracula because that was a role he could sink his teeth into.

;-p

There is a long-lived outdoor black cat in my neighborhood. Hmmm.

Close, but no banana… “Dracul,” was Vlad Tepes’s father, and yes, that meant “Dragon,” or “Devil,” but, Vlad chose “Dracula,” which means “Son of the Devil (or Dragon).”
