Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 20, 2019

So do we humans need to wear steel-toed shoes to prevent that sort of spider bite? (How long ago was the case of the unintentional gecko prank caller?)

Failed to mention that the Funnel Web spider is a venomous killer, and its found in more places than just Sydney.

I’m surprised the number of satellites is that low.

This is why I always kill spiders whenever I see one.

I have that exact model phone.

That gecko was trying to sell insurance. Fifteen minutes could save you.

According to the Index of Objects Launched into Outer Space, maintained by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), there were 4,987 satellites orbiting the planet at the start of the 2019. The current count of large debris (defined as 10 cm across or larger) is 34,000. There are estimated to be over 128 million pieces of debris smaller than 1 cm.

I wonder how many people did the gecko ask about the current functional status of their refrigerators?

About half or more of the satellites no longer work

I think intelligent evolved live forms out there would quarantine us from the rest of the universe. Perhaps they have.

Wait! What if there really aren’t robo callers, could it be that all the scam calls are really Geckos?

Watching the satellites fly is an amazing sight — I see them quite often here in Maine — on a clear night of course. Most fly south or north, but one night I saw some flying north to south.

If it has more than four legs or less than two, it doesn’t deserve to live…

I wish it was illegal for pictures of spiders to be posted online without some sort of warning, lol
