Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 18, 2025

Okay okay Thurzo. “Do.” You got that one. “Do.” Now let’s try “Re.”

I went out back and looked at my bat house today. By the amount of guano on the ground I have a lot of tenants. Took awhile but they finally trusted it. YEAH

Between 1826 and 1827? Talk about a long exposure.

My great granddaughter can hit a piano key faster. It almost sounds like my tinnitus.

What about that cave picture of my ex-mother-in-law’s first mammoth kill?

And they counted this, how?

That photograph isn’t the oldest surviving photograph; it’s the first photograph. The University of Texas in Austin owns it, and to see it you have to ask the people at the Humanities Research Center, where it’s kept. I’ve seen it many times over a forty year period.

They aren’t “designed”, they evolved those claws.

Did he used just one finger to hit the piano key? More than one would be faster

I saw that photograph at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, TX.

Not a living bat.

Thankyou all..

I find it interesting that they used the word “design” since that implies a designer.

And the speed was so slow on that that first photographic emulsion that it took EIGHT HOURS to make the exposure.

I have a question for Thurzó Zoltán — WHY?!?

I’ve seen footage of a young bat hanging by one leg and twisting back and forth, apparently to rock himself to sleep.

I remember Riverdance’s Michael Flatley held the record for most taps in a second – 35 taps. The current record is 38 by James Devine, Flatley made the 35 taps in 1998.

When an unpopular President completed his presidency, he wanted a special postage stamp issued with his picture on it.

He stressed that it should be of international quality.

The stamps were duly released and the former President was pleased. But within a couple of days of the release of the stamp, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and he was furious.

So he ordered an investigation into the matter. The investigator checked the problem out at several post offices and then reported it to the former President.

The results revealed that there was nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp.

The problem was that people were spitting on the wrong side.
