Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 09, 2024

But you spend those nine years running!

I’m not going to run 5 miles a day just to keep my cell phone young!

But can the Jerboa fly like Dumbo?

Now let’s see them bake a Christmas pie for that plum.

That will be a “regular” prune

What if your nose is running 5 days a week?

On this day in History

Nov 9, 2020

Drugmakers BioNTech and Pfizer announce their COVID-19 vaccine is over 90% effective in a first look at the results from their phase 3 trial involving nearly 44,000 people

then there was Jim Fixx

a one pound plum makes me feel all pruney inside.

Who keeps their cellular for nine years?

If it takes two to grow a one-pound plum how many does it take to grow a whole tree full of plums?

I’m plum tuckered out after listening to the wind rush by my ears as I run five miles.

Six degrees of freedom, HA!

That’s some plum, chum. That’ll make a prune that will knock the crap out of an elephant!

They don’t say how long you have to run in distance or time. Pretty useless factoid.

Deleted Again!

OH well —

Those in the know, will know where to go.

Interesting. I’m writing a book on senior women’s health and the research shows that the human body was designed for walking and running. We are not programmed for gym workouts or other forms of exercise. I thought it was interesting. Of course, after a certain age, it plays havoc with the joints, ligaments, etc. With women, it affects our reproductive organs.

That’s plum ridiculous!

That plum’s ridiculous!

Tried a wild plum while camping at Assateague Island once and felt guilty for taking away a tiny morsel of potential food source for the wild horses trapped between the ocean on one side and the saltwater marsh on the other.

Then I saw what they did to my brother’s bag of trail mix he left on the picnic table – those horses are worse than Yogi Bear

After a few years, jogging is very detrimental to your hips and knees.

I prefer bicycling. Non-impact aerobics.

The plum sounds good.

Who has time to run a full day, let alone five days per week…?

That long eared Jerboa is one cute critter.

If the Jerboa joined a convent, we would have a nice remake of an old sitcom.

I have to say that the dude in the illustration doesn’t look like someone with preternaturally “young” cells. In fact he looks like unburied dead.

If dried and eaten who could possibly pass a “Prune” that big….

Ha’ Mercy……

A man goes on vacation to Israel with his wife and his stepmother.

While in Israel, his stepmother died at the hotel.

The people there told him:

“Sir, if you want to bury her back in the United States, it’s going to cost you $5,000 to bring back her corpse. But since she died at the hotel, we can do the funeral here in Israel for free.”

The man immediately refused and said he would pay the $5,000 fee to do the funeral back home.

When in the USA, his wife came up to him and said:

“I really love what you just did for my mom. That proves to me that you actually loved my mother and you respected her.”

He replied, “Babe, are you crazy?! Those Israelis are the same people who buried Jesus and three days later he came back to life. I’m not about to take that risk with your mother.”
