Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 13, 2020

Nowadays I don’t extend my hand to anyone. But If someone extends their hand to me, I shake it. But my first impression of that person is they don’t take infectious disease seriously. Then I wash my hands or put on hand sanitizer as soon as possible.

Little-known fact (BION): He charged for the hair, and this is the origin of the phrase Liszt Price.

Is there a museum that has Lranz Fiszt’s dog’s fur?

First impression is seldom right. Go for a second one.

Most people also don’t know that Franz collaborated with his Polish contemporary Fredric to create the first Chopin-Liszt

The dolphin/mirror experiments involve placing ink marks on a dolphins that the animal cannot see without properly orienting itself in front of a mirror. They also used water filled fake markers to test reactions. Dolphins responded to both by self examination in a mirror, but quit the process quickly when no mark was reflected… or spent longer studying an actual Mark from different angles.

But even more fun to watch are the videos of dolphins capering, mugging, making faces, and posing in pairs in front of mirrors.

I love dolphins! They are such smart, fascinating creatures.

Does anyone remember the movie Lisztomania?

“Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest dolphin of all?”

Why do dolphins have mirrors in the sea? That’s a fun fact!

One time I made a first impression in 1/9 of a second.

Take care and gesundheit.

And even less time to form a first dislike…

Oh, so if I come up and belch while saying “Hi,” at least it wasn’t a bad FIRST impression.

Poor dolphins, they’re one of those species screwed over by evolution, in that they developed a high level of intelligence but got a body that’s incapable of developing tools of any kind.

I know people that form first impressions before they even meet somebody.

I saw Liszt on Ed Sullivan, I think the dolphins were on the same night

And first impressions aren’t always accurate.
