Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 29, 2020

Prickles couldn’t have gone that far as Tasmania is off the coast of mainland Australia and is only 26,410 square miles (68,401.59 square kilometers).

Furniture, TV’s, etc…? With all those tourists, I doubt if that Selfie Hot ‘Pot’ is crystal clear anymore … more likely a ‘wee’ bit yellow and opaque.

Reminds of when seeing a barber was not allowed [due to you know what] my mane getting was getting really annoying especially on hot days.

Leave her alone, and she’ll come home…….

A parasitic fungus on twitter that starts with Tr….

I knew Twitter was full of parasitic funguses!

Actually, it was named as Trollgomyces Twitter. The one above is a typo.

Ripley’s Wool you believe it or not!

So how much does this town charge you for those selfies? (Of course they charge since many people will pay for anything!)

(jk—-kind of…)

The parasite looks like a bird in this drawing.

Sounds like a good way to trash up your crystal clear pond.

I hear Troglomyces Twitter had over 7000+ followers.

On this day in history on August 29th 2003 A terrorist bomb kills Ayatollah Sayed Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, the Shia Muslim leader in Iraq, and nearly 100 worshipers as they leave a mosque in Najaf where the ayatollah had called for Iraqi unity.

No great accomplishment, finding parasites and fungi on Twitter.

Take care and gesundheit.

Furniture, TVs and vehicles in a “crystal clear” pond? Sounds like the locals use it as a dump. No way would I swim there!

Now, seriously – how in the world do you discover a fungus while scrolling through Twitter?

you should have had a picture of the sheep instead of drawing

At least Tasmania is in a “Frost Belt” latitude range; also when Prickles’ coat of wool got big, it probably deterred would-be predators.

Here’s the story about the lake, complete with pictures.

Every year, they close off the locks on the Lachine Canal in Montreal, Canada, drain it and remove all of the T.V.s, furniture, vehicles, etc from that get thrown in during the rest of the year. Too bad they don’t allow swimming in the canal, or I could start a business and make a fortune! ☺

There’s a parasitic fungus in the White House who twitters a lot. Is that the one she means?

It was the sheepshank redemption.

Give it time, that underwater selfie paradise will become a murky cesspool.

That sheep would be convenient; you could just roll it to the shearing shed…
