Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 28, 2020

No idea why a vulture would want to fly up to 36,000 feet … unless it’s trying to steal the carrion luggage.

Jones’ bit is almost unreal (as described by Roxette’s song “Almost Unreal” which was originally going to be in the “Hocus Pocus” soundtrack, but went into the “Super Mario Bros.” sountrack instead).

I once flew the height of an cruising aircraft. OK,I was in it.

At 36,000 feet above sea-level air temperature is nearly -70F. Oxygen concentration about 1/4 of sea-level because of reduced pressure. That bird is pretty hardy, mil-grade……

If I remember correctly it was Steve McQueen who saved the world from The Blob.

Golly Miss Crump.

If the Glob doesn’t breathe, doesn’t that disqualify it as animal? ;o|

That blob isn’t the only animal that doesn’t breathe. Why, there’s a skunk in the middle of the road near my house that hasn’t breathed in a couple of days.

Is that the same Doug Jones who played Commander Saru in ST:D? (Runs off the check IMDB). It is!!!!

I have a nephew like that blob thing.

Sorry, bit seriously doubt that 36,000 feet is the AVERAGE of all airliners. Lots fly in the 20 and 30,000 foot range and comparatively few fly over 40,000. So how could 36,000 be the average? Perhaps leave out the “average”? That would be true.

I was wondering, if it is an animal, and it doesn’t breath, “How does it get its energy?”. Scientists don’t know.

I don’t think that Doug Jones has ever played a normal human being. He can currently be seen as Saru on “Star Trek: Discovery”

Seems like this one should’ve been saved for Halloween…

It’s only the married vultures that desperately fly that high…
