Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 30, 2020

shouldn’t the tire scent be on a CD video game whose theme is automobile racing?

Well, there’s eight-and-a-quarter hours old George will never get back.

Ah, a creature who can survive through a lockdown. Looks like the olms will rule the world next.

I think I like food too much to go that long without eating even if our bodies could last that long!

Man, that guy can PLANK a TON! I wonder what his nickname should be……

Of all the things to do for a long time. Sheesh!

At 62, George could have gone longer, but he needed to go to the loo. I wouldn’t make it 2 hours before I needed to go.

Living in a cave for a hundred years; I hope I’m not reincarnated as one of them. There must be a cadre of scientists tracking this amphibian, because the animal would out live the guy who started to initially tract it.

I can’t wrap my mind around the muscles being able to stay contracted that long!

Going 10% of your lifespan without eating is impressive, but it’s outright insane when that lifespan is a freaking CENTURY. Also I can’t think of a stupider gimmick than a scratch and sniff video game, the LAST thing you want to do is encourage kids to scratch their game disks.

I thought scratching would damage the games.

Didn’t George Hood have to go to the bathroom during those hours?

So they went to a guy that spent 8 years of his life getting a PhD in chemistry and said Create scents that smell like a tire and a soccer field.

Ten years without a meal? The olm must be the most miserable animal in the world!

And if you think that’s impressive you should hear how long he can hold an erection…
