Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 27, 2012
Transcript:
In 2011 in 2012, South Korea's custom service seized more than 17,000 pills containing powdered human flash! A species of Amazonian tree is nearly always covered by a species of ants that populate it in elaborate ambush traps, providing protection for the tree and food for the ant population! One of the four versions of Edward Munch's painting The Stream sold on May 2, 2012, for $119.9 million- the most ever paid for a work of art at auction!

Because Ripley’s Believe it or Not didn’t say WHY, I decided to Google up about the pills containing powered human flesh and I found it it absolutely horrific, especially when I learned what they are made of! And the reasons for those pills was just equally bizarre. _ Ugh…the things the people in China believe in…SMH

That thing with the pills is nasty. Ants will be ants. Why does the paintings always make millions for someone else, after the poor artist is gone.

I wouldn’t have paid $119.20 for “The Scream”, let alone the actual price that was paid. I’d much rather have a Rubens or something similar, a painting done by someone who had talent.

Over one hundred million for a painting?And we’re in a recession?

The only reason you buy one is you think you can sell it to some other fool for a profit – just speculation.

What the South Koreans took away is alarming. I’m glad they did.
