Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 28, 2020

Some ambitious caught a 6.5 ft, 550 lb, Bluefin Tuna? Yeah, right! Was there anything like a rope and tree attached to the hook? Let me guess — they were fishing from Noah’s Ark … or was it a Bass boat? I believe it … not.

At 99-years old? Well, that’s one way to beat Pandemic boredom!

When you live in Greenland, it just seems like 500 years.

When I see a name like Robina, I figure the parents anticipated the kid was going to be a male and thought, heck just add ina to Rob and be done with it.

Is the .9 supposed to make the hook size more believable? I mean, are they setting these up for Jasonsnake?

That’s an astounding fact about those sharks. Some of them may be older than Betty White.

Take care and gesundheit.

she may be extremely competent as a pilot instructor……but to be in the same airplane with her at the controls

is the same as attending a MAGA rally without a mask.

survival odds for both are not all that strong

I wonder what Neolithic Fishermen used?

I have never seen an Atlantic blue fin tuna, only the Pacific albacores. Although I have caught a few of those in the 100 – 125 pound range even those have become rare

What? 500 years? Really?

Robert Asti knew that women lived longer than men in the U.S. https://www.aerotime.aero/kristina.kirkliauskaite/25599-world-s-oldest-flight-instructor-and-active-pilot-robina-asti

While out fishing, the Neolithic’s wives made 35 pound Knekkebrød.

Native Hawaiians, Kanaka Maoli, have long maintained that sharks are the biggest liars in the seas.

I wonder what the Greenland sharks know about shipping during those centuries. Would they tattle on the living secrets in and under the sea? Would they know of secrets better left to future centuries? Interesting they can live in a realm said to be and seen as barren.

Are the sharks enjoying all the nice fresh water coming off Greenland?

on this day in history on September 28th 1958 France ratifies a new constitution.

That’s the length of a Phoenix cycle between rebirths.

You know, what kind of WEASEL worded crap is that?

Greenland sharks MAY live up to 500 years.

My aunt Petunia may live up to 500 years, too, nothing’s stopping her! (Except Biology)

If it said SOME Greenland sharks live up to 500 years, or something more definitive, then sure, there’s something to think about…but what’s this MAY crap?

The sharks only live 10 years, but without cable it seems like 500…
