Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 11, 2025

Evidently, one teddy bear is satisfying, whereas 69,999 Darth Vader toys are not.

I, too, enjoy Star Wars and Darth Vader memorabilia.

One day my wife screamed at me, “You’re obsessed with those Star Wars movies. I’m leaving you!”

I replied, “May divorce be with you!!”

The weight of the adult human brain is about 2% of body weight.

So many collections, so much in George Lucy’s pocket.

Naomi is one of my favorite names. Hi Naomi. Way to go on getting your little friend back. Hope you got to hug the park rangers who found it for you.

And (lots of) people like Bill McBride is constant proof that humanity has yet to evolve.

Okay, there’s worse things than being alone all the time, one would be being married to that Darth Vader’s fan!

Hey, spoiler alert on that Darth Vader content!

Thank goodness the glacier melted away a few years ago due to climate change or else that teddy bear would’ve never been found

Which makes hummingbirds, what, twice as smart as humans?

I’ve seen a lot stranger things left on the trail than a teddy bear.

That bear must have been in some condition if it was a national park for a year.

Kelvin Rankine, the inventor of the Wind Chill Factor, died recently. He was 82 but felt like 64.

Strange that T.S. Eliot used his initials rather than writing out his names.

I’ve searched and searched but nowhere could I find what the ‘T’ and ‘S’ stood for.

After several hours, my wife could see my utter frustration.

She muttered, “It’s probably Top Secret.”

The teddy bear mated with a grizzly and gave birth to Winnie The Pooh
