Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 18, 2024

Are the critters that feed on radioactive food now radioactive themselves?

Radioactive mold! Does that not sound like the beginning of a 1950’s horror movie

Once caught a field mouse in a glue trap, it was squeaking and very loud.

What did you do at work today, honey?

I tickled a rat.

Well, as long as you don’t let it become a habit.

I’m trying to imagine the scene… “I need a grant for a new revolutionary scientific study” “Sure. We support science development. How much do you need? What is it about?” “I’m going to tickle rats…”

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2020 was the Year of the Rat:

So we’ve been spending the entire year holed up, only briefly leaving to get food, running at the sight of other humans, and transmitting infection.

You’ll pardon me if I don’t tickle a rat.

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You: Attack of the Radioactive Chernobyl Mold

Since when does the Chernobyl power plant feed on radiation?

Looks like a picture of a mushroom to me, aren’t they fungi, not molds?

I’ll just take their word on the ticklish rats.

Somehow I think that mold will become dominant in the future when it out-competes other molds

Those must be domesticated rats that are used to human handling. I don’t think your average street rat is going to give you a second look if you offer to tickle it’s belly.

How do they know the mold is actually feeding off the radiation?
