Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 09, 2020

Then the 80’s came and everyone wore more unsuitable clothes than ABBA ever dreamed of…

I guess the goats went hungry this year.

I hope they don’t use ring-tailed lemurs in that Lemoga class. The ring-tails have a rather nasty trait of rubbing the oil from scent glands on their tails and then shaking their tails to fling the oil at each other in “stink fights”

I’d have emptied my bank account just to see ABBA live.

Unsuitable for daily wear? How did Sweden decide that, especially in that era? The 1970s had the worst clothes ever!

The goat thing doesn’t seem to be working. Would the fires would be even worse without them?

Wouldn’t sloths be a better choice? IJS

Hired? The goats all received a 1099.

Problem was, as ABBA became popular and everyone started to dress like them; there went the tax break.

What I find amazing about ABBA is that 3 of the members couldn’t rear or write sheet music. You could put Dancing Queen in front of Benny. Bjorn or Frida and they wouldn’t be able to tell you what it was. Only Agnetha would have been able to play it. Benny and Bjorn had to hire people to translate their music so that other musicians could play it.

I thought lemurs wanted to move it move it instead of yoga.

I’m guessing whoever drew that picture of a goat has never seen a goat.

The Abba factoid? Believe it or not? Uh, not

Tax laws…ya gotta love ’em… as does the Dealmaker-In-Chief.

I had to stare at that drawing for quite a while before a goat actually came into view.

Take care and gesundheit.

Californians have gotten exactly what they deserve. They refuse to have controlled burns and this is the results. Jimmy Carter started the ban on controlled burns, which is why there were massive fires 4 years later. Most other states returned to the practice, California didn’t.

fifty years ago when we first bought this house there was a neighborhood boy who went around the neighborhood with a little nanny goat on a leash. For a dollar, he would let the goat eat all the weeds out of your front yard…she liked weeds better than grass. He had a thriving little business all summer long.

There is a picture book of Swedish ‘dansband’ (dance band) costumes. Each one more outrageous than the next, just because of the tax deduction for ‘work clothes’. Gert Jonnys is the worst.

There was a Goat herder who rented his goats to clear land and a pygmy goat Yoga person both on Shark Tank recently! ;o}

The goats were another tRump dictate that didn’t work.

King Julien will probably enjoy that.

How is ABBA doing now since their split?

I seem to recall a lemur as an assistant yoga instructor on “Aggretsuko.”

Is it really hiring if the goats collect their own pay just by doing the job?

I gather the officials had no guess as to how people would dress today…

ABBA DABBA DOO !! Or izzit ABBA ZABBA, which I used to love before I discovered it pulls out your dental work.

great idea with the goats. Hogs would do an even better job.

Maybe there could be leaf eating animals to eat the leaves off of the forest ground, instead of raking them up, like “someone” suggested.

How does dried grass act like a fire hazard and how do the goats tell the difference between that grass, and grass that is not acting like a fire hazard? It must take a lot of training.
