Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 05, 2019

Actually, frog juice cures nothing, but after one drink the patient never complains about it again.

Is signore Galilei’s blindness another reason the Catholic Church believed the universe orbited the Earth instead of the sun? Mock God’s creation of the universe and you’ll lose your sight? (No disrespect, Catholic “Ripley’s” readers.)

He should have known after losing one eye not to use the other.

So, Galileo wasn’t as smart as we think he is.

Bohemian Rhapsody…….

Uh, please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is frog juice?

Galileo didn’t go blind because of his observations. In fact, he made most of his telescope works way after Benedetto Castelli devised a pinhole projection method to observe the Sun. His first observations were made with the Sun low over the horizon. Besides all the evidence that can be found just reading his works, he wouldn’t be able to observe anything by directly looking at the Sun. How do you explain his detailed descriptions of the Sun and its dark spots? Galileo went blind way way later in his life, his works on Sun spots were published in the 1610’s and his latest works were published in the 1630’s.

I can milk a cow, but I refuse to juice a frog.

Geniuses can be very dumb.

Frog Juice? squeezed or mashed and strained?

Galileo’s mother told him he’d go blind doing that, but did he listen to his mother? Oh, no, Mr. Smartypants goes and does it anyway to SPITE his poor suffering mother. [sigh]

Frog Juice keeps you from croaking.

Not true about Galileo. Look it up.

Does Frog Juice contain snake oil? And is it gluten free?

Man, it’s one thing not to have Novocaine….

I prefer frog smoothies. 2 cups frogs, 3 cups ice cubes. Blend on med for 1 min. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

He did not go blind by staring at the sun.

“The truth is that Galileo became blind at the age of 72, from a combination of cataracts and glaucoma [see D. Sobel, “Galileo’s Daughter,” (Walker & Co., New York, (1999); p. 354]. This had nothing to do with his telescopic observations of the Sun a quarter of a century earlier, which were initially made only near sunrise and sunset, and later made by projection; in neither case could he have damaged his eyes.”

But if you didn’t pay your bill “Ooh I’ll give you such a pinch”…

What’s red and green and goes 100 miles an hour? A frog in a blender.

⇧ i’ve found that a juicer works just as well…

Where I come from frog juice come in red, white and rosé (bubbles optional extra)
