Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 04, 2021

Similar to a scorpion surviving for a short while without its tail, cockroaches can survive for a short while without its head.

That’s one old bird!

Tooth fairy get hernia.

Poop or die!

Scorpions can be a very tough lot… I once watched one of those darn things walk right out of a fire… never even fazed it.Believe it or not.

That’s one real Sophie’s Choice for those scorpions…

Who’d be a scorpion? What a way to go.

Thank you for labeling the carton of milk. I was too stupid to figure it out.

There must be a great market in Ex-Lax for scorpions!

After months of constipation? That’s one of the most cruelest ways to die!

That scorpion item strikes me as an evolutionary dead end.

Missing? Heck, my uncle Eddie comes to every Thanksgiving dinner and babbles away why scrunching his black brows. We think he dyes them!

So, were the last words of that Scorpion something like, “No Sh*t!”

Shot, Shot – what did you think I meant?

If the Babbler lives up to its name, it won’t last long.

In which prehistoric animal dentist office did they find the molar stored with a carton of milk?

Seems like months would be way to long for constipation to fill a bug with a 1" stomach the diameter of two human hairs. Wouldn’t it die of starvation first?

I guess the answer to the classic question: How do you remove a hole?

What size milk carton was that? They go from 8 oz. to half gallon!

I actually know a few “Black browed babblers”! Also, now I know why scorpions are soo mean! ;o}

Thank you for labeling the milk carton! :-D

Here’s my Army story and it’s a short one! The young buck private from the lower ranks is experiencing the heat of battle for the first time and he is scared out of his wits! Unable to control his horror, he turns and runs to the rear like a skeert ass jackrabbit! After running for as far as his strength will allow, he runs into another soldier and he stops and asks “Who are you?” The soldier says Why I am Colonel Smith !" The Pvt says “Colonel?’ Wow I didn’t know I had run that far to the rear!” I’ll do an about face now and head to the barracks cuz these shoes are killin me!

That scorpion should get the T-Shirt that reads “I lost my tail in (insert favourite tourist city)”

Thus the saying, “You’re full of shit.”

Take care, may Scottsdale fastball pitcher Oiving McLopezord be with you, and gesundheit.

And you just know that there is a scorpion somewhere out there now saying “Well $#!+”.

If they break off their anus why doesn’t the poop just fall out?

You called it a ‘black browed babbler’. OF COURSE it went into hiding for 170 years! It was mortified!

How does breaking off it’s own tail serve as any kind of ‘defense mechanism’ for a scorpion, especially when it ends up killing it? What, it somehow defends itself better— for awhile— without it’s primary weapon?!? This doesn’t pass the Logic Sniff Test.

Evidently the babblers believe that mum’s the word.

After viewing how the one specimen had been ‘collected’, the Black-Browed Babbler birds successfully hid out for 170 years until Bobby, the Black-Billed Babbler babbled.

Dinosaurs, ravaged by meteorite impact, volcanic eruptions, climate change, and sea level change, tried to put pictures of their missing on the mammoth’s teeth. The only method of picture making in that time was rock and chisel. The mammoths refused.

Give mercy to those scorpions who fought their 6 off, and are now full of … it. Step on `em.

Someone oughta rip ’em a new one.

Some scorpions have learned to spit like crazy…

So Scorpions can literally lose their ass.

Scorpions … TMI !!!

Does no one have any words of sympathy for that poor scorpion?

my ex-wife was a black browed babbler…that’s not very smart of those scorpions, kind of like they’ve got their heads up their
