Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 11, 2020

I bet my FBI grandfather (lived 1911-2007, served 1935-1974) ever looked into that stash.

If this is Happisburgh in Norfolk, England, it’s pronounced Haysborough. Just a guide to those who didn’t know. We have plenty of weird spellings.

Did the motorist drive through the cow pastures or did the cattle roam the roads?

How could that be??? Evangelical Born-Again KKKristians have been saying that the third rock from the sun is ONLY 6,000 years old!! Somebody’s been telling us “PORKIES!!!”

I bet the FBI had LOADS of fun going through that football field-sized database looking for a match.

I think those footprints found in Happisburgh were my grandfather’s when he went there to court my grandmother, but I’m not positive!

The FBI went digital before it went digital…

Did the FBI file the prints by name (great if you already know who it is), or by fingerprint type classification?

Now all those fingerprints fit on a thumb drive!

I bet the FBI has a lot more than 10 million fingerprints on file on file today.

It’s a wonder the FBI could find a single matched fingerprint amongst all those millions back before there were effective computer databases that could make the matches!

Those prints were all from the Polydactyly family. Easily fingered for many thefts in the region.

Take care and gesundheit.

Town names…in Texas Balch Springs is pronounced BALK Springs. Kerens is pronounced Kerns.

And some of the motorists thought they had spotted zebras in the UK…

Sounds to me like vandals walking through a freshly poured sidewalk.

No, the Limeys would pronounce it “Hapsbra”.

When I was a kid, there was a farmer who painted his cows hunter orange during deer season because he was tired of losing them to over-eager hunters.
