Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 29, 2016

What occasion(s) would call for black roses?

Probably a “dinner” at Count Dracula’s castle!

I’m wondering where that 900 pound bear takes a dump. Probably anywhere he wants to.

So big whoop. I know a couple of guys who live with wives who are over 300 lbs and I don’t see them in Ripley’s.

That soup must be bloody good! :)

Don’t forget to feed that bear or we’ll need those black roses for your funeral!

See more about the bear and his humans on Pinterest!

@iceman – that movie would be “Dancing With Whales!”

@stompsDo you realize that you avatar resembles a certain bit of male anatomy?

The Panteleenkos had best hope that Stepan STAYS tamed. Otherwise, they’re likely to wind up with a very unpleasant surprise one day. Having a wild animal for a pet is not a good idea.

I thought so too, but photos reveal him to be brown.

Keeping with the theme of all things black and eating food with blood in it, here’s the BLACK PUDDING.Black pudding is a type of blood sausage commonly eaten in Great Britain, Ireland and in other parts of Europe. It is generally made from pork fat or beef suet, pork BLOOD and a relatively high proportion of oatmeal, in some recipes mixed with grits (oat groats) and sometimes even barley groats. Black pudding pre-sliced may still have a plastic wrap around the circumference that must be removed before cooking

Ingredients4 cups fresh pig’s blood.2 1/2 teaspoons salt.1 1/2 cups steel-cut (pinhead) oatmeal.2 cups finely diced pork fat (or beef suet), finely chopped.1 large yellow onion, finely chopped.1 cup milk.1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper.1 teaspoon ground allspice.

YUMMY!!!!!

What kind of blood?

And they run up big bills for pic-a-nic baskets.
