Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 10, 2017

For crying out loud, what powered that alarm clock?

Pat, Jerry and Spike escaped from an April Fool’s day entry. Do they actually paint the faces on the crabs ?

From Wikipedia:

.

Though the project is called “Pole to Pole” he had stages where he was allowed to take vehicles. Therefore, the record has never been ratified.

Pat Farmer ran from the North Pole to the South Pole to raise funds for clean water programs for Red Cross International. He raised $100,000. He has also run the length of India, Vietnam, through the Middle East, across and around Australia, and across America. I guess you could say he likes to run.

What idiot pays 1700 for a beetle painting!?

really? 13 years?

My guess: he retired and didn’t want to wake up early every day.

I’m guessing Pat Farmer jogged on the boat.

I would’ve had that wall knocked down after a week of that alarm going off. He must be one laid back guy to wait 13 years!

It probably went off after he left for work. Or at least after he got up.

Alarm clock brings to mind “The Bells”, by E.A. Poe. Here’s the first stanza:Hear the sledges with the bells—Silver bells!What a world of merriment their melody foretells!How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,In the icy air of night!While the stars that oversprinkleAll the heavens, seem to twinkleWith a crystalline delight;Keeping time, time, time,In a sort of Runic rhyme,To the tintinnabulation that so musically wellsFrom the bells, bells, bells, bells,Bells, bells, bells—From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
