Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 12, 2012

The professor is a very lucky man in that respect !

I have a theory that its Professor Hawking’s super active mind that helps him to survive motor neurone disease. Its only an unproven theory but it seems to fit.

What a shame that the Afghans can’t figure out how to organize their towns with real addresses…but then, it would make it so much easier to kill each other. So perhaps there’s method in the madness?

Professor Hawkins is too stubborn to die. That’s why he’s become such a notable physicist…he’s like a pitbull in his dogged determination to figure things out..That’s what it takes to solve the monumental puzzle that is our universe. What a remarkable man.

The National Bank has been there for 300 years?

Couldn’t the Inca’s just have the bride make a sammich?

Well, notable achievement kudos to Hawking but whatever the opposite of that is for the Ripley’s editor. The sentence which begins “70-year old …..” makes absolutely no sense at all. Unless, that is, 90% of all MND sufferers in history died between 1963 and 1973!

“You may peel the bride!” “Not until the honeymoon!”

That potato has a’peal’!

Sure it’s pretty nifty that Stephen Hawking has managed to live to 70 with his disease, but the really amazing thing is that he’s also had 2 marriages and 3 children. Can’t talk, can’t walk, can still procreate and interest the ladies.

“Peel” the bride? I’m “up” for that!
