Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 24, 2013

a bit farther underground a blazing inferno has been churning for 4-5 billion years

was that beaver rabid?

I make it a point to separate cockroaches not only from one another but from life as they know it!

We’ve had one of those coal fires going on here in Pa. for a long time, the fire has almost wiped out a whole town !

As a boy we had a coal, milk and laundry chute in our house.These days it’s getting odd to see phone jacks in a house.Time moves on. Things change.

Burning Mountain in Australia has been burning for an estimated 6000 years. Brennender Berg in Germany has been burning for over 300 years. Centralia PA has been burning since 1962, and was inhabited until just a year or two ago!

A natural coal fire has burned underground in China for 100 years… so, everyone use fluorescent bulbs to save our planet.

I just hope they suffer, a lot.

naughty boy…

the beaver bit a main artery and he bled to death. True fact

Angry Beaver.

“Roach” out to someone!

“Bitten to death by a beaver.” Reminds me of the headlines, years ago, when the peanut farmer was president and he stated that he’d been attacked by a rabbit. How come that didn’t make Ripley’s?

Underground coal fires – all that energy going to waste.

Good lord, Bucky is right! Beavers are dangerous!

Is John trying to make us feel sorry for roaches?

even insects are sentient. I feel bad to kill one, but if it comes in my house all bets are off.

Worst of all, most of that carbon is in the form of carbon monoxide since it is burning with a limited amount of oxygen.
