Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 17, 2024

One time I was 11 inches tall. One time I was five inches tall.

Sara Zutcliffe One time I was 14 years old altogether.

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

I don’t know about cats, but after milking at night we always put out about a quart of milk for the cats. Only time I ever saw a cat was when I followed a cat to her home in the hayloft. I pulled out a 3 legged kitten and adopted it. Also never saw a mouse or a rat. I know next morning milk was always gone! Don’t know how many cats we had

My dads barn cats always loved milk, or at least seemed to.

Cats are independent, they don’t listen, they don’t come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they’re home they like to be left alone and sleep.

In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.

My supermarket doesn’t have quail eggs.

Castazo would ordinarily tell us that Zara Sutcliffe is from, say, Patterson, New Jersey. Curious that this detail was omitted.

Zara’s supermarket must sell quail eggs, as they are so much smaller than chicken eggs no one should mistake one for the other.

“Nearly rectangular?” How nearly, three sided, five sided, trapezoidal, or parallelogramish?

I keep searching for ostrich eggs, but the supermarkets keep looking at me funny……

That Hua Moa banana would make an awesome banana split!

They could stack those bananas on a super market shelf and they wouldn’t roll off

In the immortal words of today’s Wallace the Brave,

“Peace, Love, Banana”

Thank you for letting me know why all the cats in my family prefer water to milk! Yet I wish this fact was madeknow long ago – sigh& meow!!

American’s choice for bananas is pretty much limited to the Cavendish – but worldwide there are thousands of banana varieties…

We got a box of those hua moa bananas by accident in our weekly produce delivery at the zoo commissary. The elephants loved them, but you should have heard some of the comments by the ladies I work with. I think every construction worker within 50 miles of Dallas is still blushing.

Hua Moa are found on Maui and Kauai. Very good and especially tasty when fried.

I don’t give my cats milk, I guess I just don’t enjoy cleaning up their projectile diarrhea at 3AM.

That’s hard to believe about the quail egg.

Once the egg is washed, the bloom which protects the egg is gone.

Then it is refrigerated which will most likely kill the embryo.

On that note, I vote not on the hatchling.

And mice really do not like cheese. They’ll eat/take it if they have to.

Also, cats love cream and it is good for them as an occasional treat as there is very little lactose! If they get runny poohs or vomit after giving it to them, stop doing so.

In my youth, I tried to hatch a regular egg from the supermarket in my underwear and sock drawer. Yowza! that made a stink!
