Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 28, 2017

Coincidence on Bobby’s death age and the chess board’s square count? I think not. (How many mates did Diego have to get that many offspring?)

Bobby Fischer was in a bad mental state by the time he died.

And not one of Diego’s children remembers him on Father’s Day.

50 years, the foreplay took 23.

Shouldn’t that be “Mooses” or maybe “Meese”?

But how many of that 800 lived to reproduce?

Ripley’s must be hard up for stories with this Bobby Fischer one.

It is always moose, like deer, trout and so forth. Plural and singular as one.

Probably, they were fighting over a female, horns locked, one pushed the other into the lake, and his weight pulled the other in. Since neither could get head above water,drowning was swift, but still upright so horns were above water and then iced over.

Has Diego paid any child support?

Where in the world is Diego the turtle?

I remember a similar case involving mastodons. They got their tusks locked together (each had one broken off in the right place) and they fell in the mud and couldn’t get up. The fossils were dug up as one chunk and put on display as is.

“Nearly single-handedly”? What are his mates, chopped liver? Also, I have my doubts at how much he’s “saved” them. If all the offspring are at least half-siblings, inbreeding could make the next generation low on viability.

That must have kept Diego busy. 800 with average of 8 offspring per mating, what 100 matings at least or did the keepers sedate him and take his “precious bodily fluids”? I heard that phrase before, I Think this is what it meant. anyone know where and when it was said?
