Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 16, 2014

We’ll, isn’t it obvious that the spine as well as other bones as well as the organs are visible through the transparent skin of an x-ray fish?

Not quite— what Galileo proved is that objects of different weights fall at the same speed (usually using spheres). On earth, a feather does fall slower than a hammer (try it!) not because of weight difference, but because of air resistance. The feather catches the air as it tumbles down, a hammer doesn’t. But on the moon, there isn’t enough air for the feather to catch, making them fall at the same rate.

only 4 cups? I drink 4 cups in the morning.

In high school physics, we saw that done with a penny and a feather in a glass tube from which the air had been removed with a vacuum pump. Turn the tube over, and the penny and the feather fell at the same speed.

Been to Finland, their coffee cups are about 4oz. I have 3-4 20oz cups a day!! Who’s the coffee capital??

3588 Tim Hortons in Canada, I don’t think Finland has a chance.

That coffee comparison has got to be wrong. Ave American drinks about three and a half cups a day.

i’m on cup 2 will have 3-4 more. who did the coffee study

Are you one of those people that believe the lunar landing was fake and pro wrestling is real?

Much of it was indeed filmed in space.

-Those of us who drink tea the rest of the day

I easily have at least 4 cups of coffee daily. And most of the time several more beyond that.

consuming cup 6 now

I think there is a typo on the Finland coffee deal….I’d believe that they drank “14” cups to Americans “4” cups..
