Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 25, 2014

It has been nice knowing you, Mrs. Mayfly! I’m not sure I want Ukraine-imported sunflower seeds at the next baseball game.

Years ago they did away with the side shows because they were demeaning and dehumanizing. Thing is, this ended up robbing the “freaks” of their livelihood. This was back in a time when employers could discriminate against the disabled.

Lentini could use his third leg as a stool. The chair is superfluous.

The picture does not show His fourth foot. Does anyoneknow where it was? The picture also makes the chair looklike it only has 3 legs, or is it that way on purpose to matchHis 3 legs??

LOL!!!!

Where would he buy his clothes? At the Big & Tall & 3-Legged Store? I wonder if he could play soccer?

Shortly after WWI Signor Lentini visited a military hospital. When he saw what had happened to some of the veterans, the mutilations and disfigurements, he never complained about his ‘disability’ again.

there was another guy had three legs, too

But man, could he tap dance….

Those mayflies and their one-minute stands.

Viva Lentini!

so the sunflowers absorb the radioactive material then what happens to it??

So. A Beatle song for a mayfly?

Five minutes… It’s born, It flaps its wings a couple times, It dies.
