Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 10, 2020

“Geomelophagia” is very interesting when you look at its roots. “Geo” is earth, “Melo” refers to apples and “Phagia” is eating. “Earth-apples” is what potatoes are called in French: “Pommes de terre.”

and what’s with the IKEA products’ bizarre names? other Swedish towns and cities and municipalities?

Willie Mays throw after the catch may have been a better feat than the catch.

Believe it or not raw potatoes provide less calories than cooked potatoes. And I am not talking about adding anything like cooking oil. You can just boil them and they will provide more calories. IKEA you not.

While it may be true, more or less, it’s misleading. Geomelophagia is NOT a desire to eat potatoes. It’s an iron deficiency. Eating potatoes is just one way of getting the iron.

Every other creatures except yourselves eat everything raw, hyoomans.

Its funny that Willie Mays often said that he had made much better catches throughout his career, but that’s the “one” everyone talks about.

Don’t see anything wrong with eating raw potatoes, actually they can be beneficial. In Farsi The name for potato is, ‘Seeb Zamini’, which literally means, Ground apple, if you have a taste for apples, you can have a taste for potatoes as well, and they can cleanse with your teeth.

But he did catch it.

Yuck. Raw potatoes. My dad loved those. Every time my mom would be cutting up potatoes for something he’d be hovering around trying to snatch pieces. I don’t see how anyone can stand the taste of them when they’re not cooked.

And the word for swallowing a potato whole is gulkmbooorffkack.

Take care, may the adored by with you, and gesundheit.

No doubt a grandson of the physicist who informed us that it was impossible for a baseball trajectory to change in anyway after leaving the pitchers hand.

If frogs had wings they wouldn’t bump their ass.

IMAGINE! A girl once told me the difference between striking out or a home run is a matter of only 2 inches.

What a bunch of ho-hum today, c’mon Ripley, you can do better!

I like raw potatoes and raw turnips. But you gotta peel ’em first. Salted.

Alan Nathan proved that anyone can post anything. In this case, “What can I do to discredit Willie Mays and just label him lucky?”

FUBAR and SNAFU are my favorite acronyms.

Pringles first attempt at marketing was the raw potato chip tube, but it clumped up in the can.

If it were 1º warmer, and the ball had traveled 2 inches further, Willie Mays would have gone faster and higher as well.

I wonder how much in tax dollars we paid physicist Alan Nathan for his provocative, astounding and illuminating reply. Then we wonder why conservatives don’t trust science.

I’m not clear as to why it would “normally have been a home run”. The ball was nowhere near the outfield wall when he caught it, and that wasn’t the only park with deep fences. And it was an amazing catch at the time, but, as so often happens when an icon makes a great play in any sport, future generations emulate it – that catch is not at all uncommon in today’s game.

Willie Mays….one of the greats!

I grew up in San Francisco. Willie Mays made plenty of spectacular catches. And his homers were pretty good as well, 660 of them. Willie is still alive at 89 years young.

i love raw potatoes

Nah, the greatest catch was when I met my soon-to-be wife…

I shopped at IKEA this past weekend. How timely!
