Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 20, 2016

very interesting method, Isaac

Why does Newton’s look as beautiful as Emma Watson’s hair?

“Cross my heart, and hope to die. Stick a needle in my eye.”

I remember eating steak and mushroom pie with a nice warm lager and a beautiful view of the London bridge…While a German Oom-Pah Band played and a southern paddle wheel steamer floated by in the middle of the Arizona Desert. And I thought “Only in America!”

the genius who made a fortune selling mcculloch chain saws thought he was buying the tower bridge. i went by this bridge in 1974. all that was nearby were real estate offices and sand.

The developer who bought the London Bridge thought he was bidding for the Tower Bridge, but agreed to the purchase anyway.

Sir Isaac Newton was a freakin’ nut!

We were in Lake Havasu City and “explored” the bridge. There’s still Brit graffitti on it.

I read somewhere that the guy who bought the bridge thought he was buying Tower Bridge.

Nah! Some young graffiti artist added that mustache in 1974!

Little “Ike” Newton was nuts !

I don’t think the Brits would sell the Tower Bridge at any price.

Moving a famous bridge to a place with no water or people? Sounds like trolling to me. Possibly by a literal troll.

And I thought Ben Franklin flying a kite in a storm was nuts.

Isaac Newton did a lot of opium back then!

Yikes Mr. Newton LOL

They did an episode of History’s Lost and Found on London Bridge’s transport to Lake Havasu. Apparently, on the way back, the guy who made the purchase was handed a standard duty card for purchases made in London. He looked it over and wrote:

.

“One Bridge. Eight million nine hundred thousand pounds. Exempt: Antique”!

The medieval London Bridge company is still in business, though, one of the oldest companies in the world.

Yuuuck! No way I can unlink him with his needle in his eye! Gross! Shudder.
