Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 10, 2016

Sign language accent?Like a British accent?Or a stressed syllable?

Well, of course no one attended Mozart’s funeral: he was interred in a pauper’s grave! (I’m not deaf, but I never thought of SLs having an accent.)

It looks like Mozart’s hand is feeling the sign language

And just think the recipient of that call thought they were being pranked: “Hi, this is Tim from the ISS, is mum there…”

I believe that the goal in life is to live like there is only one and to make the most. So at a funeral or memorial service it should be a celebration of that life and no mourning allowed.

Accent? Like the ‘bird’?

I live in the Atlanta area, We can call free for miles and miles, but we have three area codes, and I must dial an area code to call my next door neighbor.

“TP phone HOME!”

Do people ever stutter in sign language?

Mozart was composing up until he died. Then he started decomposing.

There were a few mourner’s at Mozart’s funeral . The mourners, included Mozart’s wife, Constanze, and his older son, Karl Thomas (the younger, Franz Xaver, was only several months old at the time of his father’s death).

At one time, we only had to dial 847-#### to reach Hamilton, Illinois. Then, Chicago needed a new area code and used 847. Now we have to dial 1-217-847-#### to reach Hamilton. Then a few years later, I read in the paper that there were complaints that another split caused “inconveniences” in the 847 ac.(Don’t look to us for sympathy!)

I guess Tim was just spaced out when he dialed.

cheap cell phone – no memory beyond about last 6 calls.
