Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 01, 2018

anyone recall seeing an ad on YouTube or somewhere about a gun that shoots ordinary table salt at houseflies? I bet it works on skeeters as well

I got sick and tired of flies in the house and got an indoor bug zapper. Everytime I hear a SNAP!, I smile.

We got a bug light/zapper for a wedding present. I think it was invented by Thomas Larva Edison (that’s what the card said).

Given New Zealand’s population at the time, that is more than 25,000 people. Big payroll.

1 in 160… I don’t know what’s hardest to believe. A country so small and needy that just one movie can employ two hundredths of its population or a movie so large that can employ two hundredths of a country’s population? Isn’t Hollywood out of control? (rhetorical question :D )

Knock on the door; “Looks like you’re number 160 on this block, buddy. Here’s you costume. Show up tomorrow at 7am sharp.”

Draftee: “But, but… I don’t want to be in Lord of the Rings.”

Everyone knows it’s easy to get a-salted in Detroit.

Few know that Intellectual Ventures was started in the 60s by Frank Zappa.

The salt was used on the roads. But, cars and other Summer toys are stored there in the Winter. I thought it was odd to store a car in salt. They claim it moisture is low there. The salt mines are also under Lake Erie.
