Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 15, 2021

Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this. Besides, you’re reading it this time:

There once was a hawk who just couldn’t get enough lovin’ {ahem}. As he flew along, scouting for his kind of prey, he saw a lark, so he swooped down into a cloud of feathers, chirping and turbulance, and as he flew away, she said, “I’m a lark, and I’ve been sparked!”

The hawk flew on, but his urges returned. Just then he saw a dove. Swoop, feathers, cooing, turbulance…and as he flew away, the dove said, “I’m a dove, and I’ve been loved!”

These things always happen in threes, of course. Finally, the hawk spotted his third tryst du jour: a duck. Once again he swooped down, starting a large cloud of feathers, quacking, and turbulence. And as he flew away, the duck was heard to mutter…………….

“I’m a drake. There’s been a mistake!”

Hope everyone’s hearts were delighted, and your needs were met this Valentine’s Day.

I had a half asteroid named after me.

Yeah. Why name asteroids after real heroes who risk their lives for other’s safety? Let’s name them after wealthy movie stars.

The Rhino was sent to Siberia for political re-education.

hopefully scientists can find a new gnu

The woolly rhino just proves that if you look hard enough, you can always find something gross.

Rhino’s owner died just after he told it to play dead.

“Woolly rhino?” That was Uncle Earl’s toupee.

Take care, may Swiss credenza polisher Yohann Yodlejord be with you, and gesundheit.

‘Matty told Hatty, ’bout a thang she saw…Wooly Bully!!!!’

Did early humans shear woolly rhinos and mammoths, and if so, how?

Scientists at England’s Natural History Museum busied themselves during the COVID-19 quarantine.

That explains my grandson screaming he blew up Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan while playing video games.

Further study showed the beast to actually be a Chernobyl chipmunk.

They’re finding several fossils in Siberia, now that it’s melting like never before.

Some astronomer must be a big fan of cutesy love movies.

Send him back to a Newtist colony.
