Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 07, 2020

Jason, it looks like good fodder for you here…

As much as we’re in the [second] Elizabethan era, I think there aren’t any banner ladies. That’s what TV, radio, and even the Internet are for.

Shaq wasn’t known for the long shot. His career free throw percentage was only 52.7%

You had me at pretzels.

“Virgin births” more common than thought among snakes

Immaculate conception from a snake. It’s a miracle.

They weren’t really Banner Ladies. They just couldn’t afford a purse.

And males promoting goods with signs on their bodies were called sandwich men.

Eat At Joe’s.

Oviparous animals lay unfertile eggs. Not all do as frequently as chickens, but a male is not required for that.

Great panel. The question for the snake is we’re they fertile?

I’ve always wanted a 7 Ball Python egg omelette! :D

So? Chicken don’t need a rooster to lay eggs. The male is there only to fertilize them. They lay unfertilized eggs, but they do lay them even without seeing a rooster their whole life. And I presume all ovipar animals work the same way.

Source: I have chickens.

Shaq hit a three-pointer as often as that ball python laid eggs.

Banner Ladies working for luncheonettes and bakeries must have been tasty or, seasonally, covered in flies.

So the 15 year pregnancy is the record.

Take care, may the discord be with you, and gesundheit.

Victorian lightbulbs?

Shaquille O’Neil made the 3-pointer when he was distracted while being intimate with his wife.

‘Banner Ladies’ were the code word used in the Red light District of London.

The St. Louis Zookeeper fulfilled his mother’s lament that all he needed was someone to hold it.

“despite not having seen a male in 15 years”, so they thought.

I can’t believe the Shaquille O’Neal fact. Is it true? Is it true?

When did Edison invent the lightbulb?

Anyone who played before the 3 point line never even tried one and most post players now don’t have try.

Wouldn;t a ball python be a male?

Another fun fact: Shaquille only turned down one offer to do a commercial in his entire life.

They had light bulbs in the Victorian era?

Those “Banner Ladies” were in big use in the Old West-Good advertising!

Obviously, only making one 3 pointer, didn’t hurt Shaw’s career in basketball or future in advertising.

Let’s re-do that bad English sentence. Shaq made only one three-pointer in his career.

That python goes ‘one up’ on the definition of “Frustration”…

chickens also lay eggs, but unfertilized.

A 62 year old ball python??? Pull the other one I thought in general in captivity they lived 20 to 30 years maybe 40 and only average of 10 in wild.
