Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 05, 2022

It’s early.

A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbor and says “Please come help me, I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.”

Her neighbor asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?”

The lady says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s supposed to be a rooster.”

The neighbor decides to go over and help with the puzzle.

She lets him in and shows him where she has all the pieces spread all over the table.

He studied the pieces for a moment, looks at the box, turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.”

He takes her hand and says, “Secondly, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then,” he says with a deep sigh,

“Let’s put all the corn flakes back in the box.”

Until next time.

I looked up the Malaysian monarchy, since this is the first I’ve ever heard of that system. Apparently, the Official system of monarchy is a secret election by the nine state rulers, who theoretically could choose any of them, but in practice they agree to take turns in an orderly manner, outside a few rare exceptions.

It’s not uncommon for ants to have bites (and maybe in this case, explosions) which not only sting, but attract the other members of their colony, setting off a very unpleasant chain reaction for whomever upset them.

To have the presence of mind to smack a shark in the face while he’s clamping down on your foot, great job!

Not sure if that would be my first reaction.

How nice… sharing ownership of people. Unlike other monarchies that are very selfish and don’t share…

This reminds me of when Aunt Myrtle blew herself up with nothing more than a birthday cake, a cigarette lighter, and some Aquanet hair spray. Well, plus the Everclear.

Take care, may wall and floor cleaning specialist Hank “I Love Finding The Noses” Kerchieford be with you, and gesundheit.

I hope she was also kicking that shark with the other foot. If she got the RIGHT spot, it would have let go immediately.

Lemon sharks are far from the most dangerous kind.

Aw, you made sharkie cry! If it’s a baby shark, do it again, they deserve it

You know what they say. When life gives you Lemon sharks, punch ‘em in the face.

What do you call the soft tissue between a Lemon shark’s teeth?

The slow swimmer.

Sharks come already lemon flavored? Nice- I guess you just need butter and garlic.

I remember, as a teen, eating shark steaks. I wonder what happened to them. You don’t see them in the supermarkets any more.

Where do the ants find explosives that are ant sized to blow themselves up?

May Lord Edward Cecil be with you:Lord Edward Herbert Gascoyne-Cecil (12 July 1867 – 13 December 1918), known as Lord Edward Cecil, was a distinguished and highly decorated English soldier.

Suicide bomber ants. At their training school the instructor always tells them, “watch very carefully, I’m only going to show you this once”.
