Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 30, 2024

It’s too bad that Joy Ryan only remembers going to 45 state parks.

Do the wolves come when you call?

I’m sure wolves have excellent hearing superior to humans, but that RBION claim is kind is squishy. It depends on how loud the sound is. Apparently humans can hear thunder from a lightning strike from 10 miles away.

Well, my dog can hear a treat packet open from the other side of our acre wide garden but I can be standing over him shouting at him to get off the couch and he doesn’t appear to hear me, maybe sound is all relative?

I can hear 10 miles away also. I live near an air force base.

Wolves can hear for miles and miles. They can hear for miles and miles and miles and miles! Oh yeah!

A 2.95 carat diamond can go for over $80,000. So maybe Aspen found her college tuition.

Speaking of Joy Ryan and her quest, reminded me of my ex girlfriend’s pirate’s quest…

she had a sunken chest and always kept me searching for the booty.

“Joy Ryan successfully completed her quest…”

The word “successfully” is almost always redundant in a sentence. If she completed her quest, she was by definition successful; you can’t UNSUCCESSFULLY complete a quest.

Yosemite NP was my favourite until I visited Denali.

I’ve been to the Crater of Diamonds twice and got nothing but a sunburn and an achy back.

I did not know that fact about wolves.

US National Parks: If you are 62 or older, you can get an annual pass for just $20, or a lifetime pass for $80. / planyourvisit / passes. htm (remove the spaces)

I don’t think I’d go to a park to do work. Anyways, those diamond were probably not gem quality otherwise DeBeers would’ve bought off Congress to get that land.

Crater of Acne State Park is a sight to behold but you must avoid squeezing the pimple-like formations else you’ll get a nasty surprise.

Isle Royale’s one of the more difficult ones. Long boat ride!

I’d like to know HOW they tested the claim of wolves’ hearing…
