Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 14, 2025

That’s quite a murder.

I’m familiar with Beethoven’s Fifth. I wonder with Beethoven’s 722nd sounds like.

… or should that be attyre…?

I’ve got some Old Crow roosting in the cellar.

The crows that gathered on a schoolyard’s jungle gym were certainly not there to sleep.

The most prolific composer was Telemann with over 3,000 compositions.

Beethoven composed many of those pieces after he became permanently deaf.

How does Beethoven’s number of compositions compare with, say, Paul McCartney’s?

Unlike me, l thought birds enjoyed freedom.

Turns out they’re also numbered!

Don’t think I’d want to wander through the woods after a million crows had roosted for the night.

So the Brits were spelling attire attyre? okay.

A white wall tire/tyre is a wheel-dressed at tyre! Cue ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man”.

In pieces such as symphonies with more than one movement, is each movement counted separately for this tally?

There are certainly plenty of crows roosting along my walking routes, and they’re quite vocal.

Today is 3/14 aka Pi day. Crow has pi but no mention of pie.

AGAIN !!! DELETED !!!

Beethoven doesn’t hold a candle to Telemann in the composition competition. He wrote over 3000 pieces in his lifetime.

I remember my dad’s 66 Pontiac had white strips on the tires. White walls didn’t disappear all at once, they faded over time

he was deaf and dying but he still wrote “Ode to Joy”—-and he never heard it

If you go to his grave and hear his music coming out backwards, it’s because he’s decomposing. (Remembered for half a century from my 8th grade music teacher)

Maybe British crows are different. I was always told that a crow in a crowd is a rook, and a rook on its own is a crow.
