Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 17, 2011

I loved Mini Golf…….we had one where I lived that had a Giant Centipede that would grab the ball……[uhoh]

I guess 1000 was ‘par for the course’ in 1930.

Once the bat is caught, he doesn’t have a leg ‘to stand on’ (on which to stand).

I do not willingly share my home with any creature whose natural compliment of legs is less than two or greater than four.

That’s why all the miniature golf courses in caves closed up

While I still enjoy these, they no longer are the amazing things that Ripley was reporting on..I suggest changing the name from Ripley’s Believe it or not to Ripley’s Interesting Trivia.

You mean Daffy Kadaffy wasn’t a king or anything?

Trivia in latin does mean three roads, or three streets. At one of these junctions in ancient Rome, citizens would post notices such as “free kittens”, “for a good time see --”, “fresh vegetables” etc thus came the word trivia to mean miscellaneous.
