Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 22, 2015

A blade made of obsidian can be sharper than a razor.

I wonder how did the doctor do with that that kind of surgery. Did he survive?

Living in the Pensacola, FL area, I have been a number of times to McGuires. It is true. I believe from what I observed, they are all one dollar bills, which make the walls & ceilings look like they are covered with a green shag carpeting at first glance. One of those stapled to the wall is mine, & most if not all have a name & date on them with marker pen they make available, along with a stapler. Being a big fire hazard, they have extra insurance & a good fire suppression system. Believe it or not, I was told by a waiter, that they have to do a yearly guess count on how many bills are added each year, as they are considered income, & taxes have to be paid on the guessed amount. They also have a lot of surveillance cameras, & a few times have caught patrons try to steal some of the bills from the walls. I am not sure how they guess the new amount, but maybe they count a square foot of bills & average it out. The tradition started years ago by patrons wanting to leave a remembrance of their visit.

There’s goldfish in them thar hills!

The maximum thinness of an obsidian blade edge is one molecule!Far thinner than the finest surgical steel..

Obsidian’s no good for cutting hair though.

We had the same thing happen in two lakes in Oregon, Mann and Chickahominy. The goldfish got so thick in Mann, you could see their color from the air, It completely destroyed the trout population in both lakes and they had to be poisoned out and restocked. …at taxpayer expense.

This isn’t funny

Hope the Pub has enough fire insurance.

And another invasive species, the Asian carp, is wreaking havoc on the eco-system of the Mississippi River.

I can think of at least one reservoir and few streams here in Utah with the goldfish problem.

@Tarred—-I think that I read this past year that Molly passed away, in a story by the Pensacola News Journal, that also mentioned your version. I am not sure, but I think they originally had a different location. You might be able to look up the story in the PNJ archives.

@Tarred—-Yes, Molly passed away last year at age 77. Here is a link to her & the McGuires history:
