Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 26, 2012

Agreed! and that AV Rocks!

I’m pretty sure if she’d been dead, she’d have been pretty gamy after 6 days.

It’s all well and good but did Louise have her babies naturally or did she have induced labor or what?

It’s a good thing Li awakened on the sixth day. Being unconscious in a coffin for seven days would make one weak!

Regrettably, Li Xiufeng’s ‘resurrection’ turned out to be tragically brief.

“What’s going on, why are you all just standing around, gawking like that? And LOOK at this room, it’s complete mess! I go away for few days, and everything falls apart! * Sniff! * Other mothers have children they can count on, other mothers have children who care. But not me, if I don’t do everything around here, it NEVER gets….* PONK! *"

oh, come on. how about a picture showing the hog hanging upside down, screaming, while his throat is cut , showing the arterial sprayyeh, I know……..bacon ,pork chops, ham, sausage—- just gotta have that crap, doncha?

If you’re so worried, commit suicide.

Love the perpetuation of the overpopulation mythology. Really.

@truecanadianliberal – The fact is that in developed countries, 2 children MAX would cause a society to shrink, at at 1.9 as the fertility rate, the replacement rate is irreversibly small. The society can’t recover. The minimum needed is 2.1 children per woman, so a bit more than the two you prescribe. This is based, of course, on an average, with some women having more than two children since some women are unable to have any.

Even that, of course, only keeps the population stable if there are NO wars, famine, or disease. Since we do still have childhood mortality rates and wars, even in developed countries, the fertility rate must be well above 2.1. The minimum in undeveloped countries is 3.3, and again, with no war, famine, or disease.

Also, if fertility rates are TOO low, economic hardships appear as the older generations retire and the younger generations, smaller because the older generations had fewer children, have to support larger and larger numbers with smaller and smaller numbers. This is why we have an issue with social security here in the U.S. For the first time, or replacement rates are below that of our grandparents’ generation, thanks to increased abortion rates since Roe v. Wade. The result is that there are fewer workers supporting larger numbers of retirees. There are also fewer workers spending money, and fewer babies to spend money on as they grow up, leading to a reduction in production of things everyone needs, causing fewer workers to be required. It’s a vicious cycle.

According to the U.N. Population Database, using the historically accurate low variant projection, Earth’s population will peak at around 8.2 billion people around 2040, and then decrease. Also, using the U.N.‘s numbers and basic math, the entire world’s current population could have a plot of land approximately 33×33 feet. In other words, we could turn a land area the size of Texas into a giant subdivision and the rest of the world be unpopulated.

It only SEEMS crowded because we, as human beings, naturally flock to live together.

Cuts way down on the number of birthday parties you have to give.

I stick with Kosher foods such as beef and chicken. They don’t send you photos of them.

Not so big a deal when the births are induced to make it happen on the 29th. In the Estes case, only the first leapling was a natural leapling.
