Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 20, 2014

I guess that Black Bart missed that part about ‘thou shalt not steal’.

Yet Black Bart continued to break the eighth of the Ten Commandments (now stealing) and for sure the ninth thereof (no killing) as well as the tenth (no coveting). As for the dung god, ne’er heard of that one when used to having read Roman mythology. I wonder if Mr. Kowalski’s time going to be printed in “Guinness Book of World Records.”

Back in 1914 wasn’t Wroclaw, Poland then Breslau, Germany?

How did Stanislaw qualify for the “Youth Olympics”?

Wikipedia has a decent entry on him. His “Sabbath rest” was only for musicians on his ship. He did inspire the “pirates code” from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Was he the Dread Pirate Roberts?

From what I read, most pirates had more principles than I thought. Blackbeard was a notable exception.

Why did the pirates bury their treasures?

stan was also the protagonist in “streetcar named desire.”

They didn’t trust banks!

Well, One country’s privateer is another country’s pirate.From what I have read, Bart Roberts was pressed into piracy and was elected captain of his ship in six month’s time.

Why would animal dung need a god?

Animal dung or just B.S.?
