Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 30, 2018

Nauru: Well, that’s because they have nowhere to put a city. Of Santa Fe, Albany, Cheyenne, and Providence RI, the smallest is 2½ times as big as Nauru.

A red one to wipe with, and a white one to see if you got it clean, so I’ve been told.

Corn cobs, that is.

I wonder how many basketball scholarship offers that kid has?

Wait until he has his teen growth spurt.

I like how they used Mr. Whipple as the template for the colonial fellow.

I read that the cobs were soaked in water to soften them before they used them. Early toilet paper had wood splinters.

You know hos these myths start… “You’ll be hanged to death as a punishment for sexual activity with a corncob” “But, your honor… I was wipinig…” “Not guilty! Release the prisoner!” or “You’ll be stoned to death for unmarried pregnancy!” “But, your honor… god did it!” “Not guilty!.. and miraculous!”

Even slightly leaning that kids head should be above the door frame.

I don’t think you have to go back to colonial times. My father and uncle said when they were kids growing up on a farm in Nebraska (1920’s) they often had cobs in the outhouse.

You mean the capital of Nauru isn’t “N”?

Doorways are much lower in English homes than what is depicted here.

Vatican City, is also its own country, and therefore, technically has no capital At .2 square miles (128 acres) it is smaller than many city parks

Corn cobs instead of leaves or anything more pliable? Ouch with a capital O!

In wonder if Nauru will be on the Geography Now YouTube channel.

When working in fields and u needed to go a corn patch near by its was corn cop of stone

Yes my grandfather and great uncles used them even in the 60’s.
