Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 22, 2017

So to speak, we have a three-bean casserole i this “Ripley’s.”

Or maybe three bean salad.

I’m sensing a theme to this strip. Hmmm…

And the Roman Writer Pliny the Elder gave this advice, “Avoid Beans like you would Matricide”

Obviously biology wasn’t Pythagoras’ strong suit.

38.5 tons of baked beans being eaten per hour in Britain would equal 924 tons per day or 337,260 tons per year. That certainly explains the fog Britain is famous for.

I’m going to have beans for lunch.

So, that is the smell of dead souls escaping.

Meh, bean there, done that.

The secret word of today is: BEAN.

regarding famous Brits and advanced degrees, former Queen guitarist Brian May has a Ph.D in astrophysics.

That’s fart and away the most beans eaten anywhere…

That works out to about 0.02 ounces of beans per person in Britain. How much is that? Maybe one bean per person on average.

A bean theme.

Ripley’s strips should often be themed . Always gets my goat when just 2 of the 3 facts are similarly!

Ripley’s bean telling tales…

This strip needs some Beano!

And the souls are released in a gust of wind once they contaminated your system, hence the foul odor?

On a side note, is there a higher level of methane in the air around Britain?

The British people apparently don’t care about the souls of the dead.

Sorry, the picture of Mr Bean looks more like Eddie Cantor.

[oh god i’m old….]

sounds like pythagorus got beaned one too many times…
