Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 18, 2015

yesterday marked 120th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty being brought to New York Harbor

Hard to believe. Why would they design it for Egypt?

That factoid about hyper-velocity stars makes me wonder if all of our universe and our existence is nothing more than the explosion of fireworks in the black sky on a hot summer evening…Why was it not built in Egypt?“Give me you poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe dust and camel farts. Give me those yearning to bake themselves in the relentless desert heat.I lift my lamp beside the golden pyramid”.It just would not of worked.

Wait, aren’t all beans really a seed?

That’s like only 4 times faster than our own star…

The statue of Liberty was designed for Egypt because it is a symbol of Isis (the original Isis) illuminating the world by the sea. Isis was a maiden of the sea, and she has deep esoteric meaning to the French Freemasons who dedicated her. “Liberty” of the French Revolution was Isis.

A bean is a seed. All beans, with the exception of Mr. Bean, are seeds. The term bean is mostly used for leguminous seeds but it’s not limited to them. Besides coffee, vanilla and cocoa are called beans and they’re not leguminous.

The Statue of Liberty is not a statue; it is actually a giant structure called a “statue.” Hypervelocity stars are not really stars; they are actually fast moving balls of gas called “stars.”

“Beans are legumes. They put nitrogen back in the soil which a coffee tree does not. I have a mesquite tree legume that has tall grasses growing near it because of this.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am so confused.. I also thought that beans were seeds. But you say that they put nitrogen back into the soil, which make grass grow under the tree.However, I have two Black Olive treesthat shed quadrillions of tiny seeds that totally cover the ground below. I am firmly convinced that these seeds are poisonous, because not a blade of grass will grow where the seeds are.

Did you know that comic “strips” never actually take off their clothes!

According to the National Park Service, the statue was not designed for Suez. There was a separate lighthouse to be designed for Suez prior to Liberty, but it didn’t happen. Same guy then jumped at a chance to design Liberty, but it’s not like they designed it for one place and installed it elsewhere. They were two separate structures.

Leave it to the “Frogs,” oops, I mean French to goof it up.
