Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 19, 2013

He is walked from Olympia, Washington to Augusta, Maine, how long of a hike (in miles and months) would Livermanne have walked?

Being left handed and having to read that statistic so often is what’s driving me to an early grave.

bull, i’m left handed at 77, mom is 98

dogs are better behaved than some kids

Rip’s first oddities cartoon (“Champs and Chumps”) asked the question, “Remember The Chap Who Walked Backward Across the Continent?”. He never said who it was, but my guess is that it was Mr. Livermanne’s great-grandfather!

Many lefties die an early death trying to use tools designed by righties, thus skewing the statistics.

The left handed thing is based on a flawed study that noted that the number of older people who are left handed is less than the number of young people who are left handed. It turns out that if you are older you were likely trained at a young age to be right handed because being left handed was considered wrong.

That is one cute dog drawing.

I do some things left handed and some right handed.

I stood up for you yesterday.How so?Someone said you weren’t fit to eat with the pigs.And?Well, I told him that you were!

Same here, other than writing.

I’m right-handed but I think left-handed.

I’m guessing Matt has a sponsor and not a day job?

I am right handed, but found out when I was a teenager that I could do anything left handed including write.

I’m ambidextrous, I can’t do anything with either hand

I live in Japan. Dog diners are everywhere. Nothing out of the ordinary in this country.

that’s nice huh dogs get to dine with their owners in Japan in diners wish it could be here in America too

17+ miles a day? Not impressive. What’s impressive is that he had the time, money and courage to try such a feat.
