Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 11, 2021

I have not walked on water for over two millennia, so I hope there is a bridge that allows one to walk south there.

I’ve often wondered if I’d be completely useless if I’d lived before I could have glasses. “Look at that poor blind broad. That’s the seventh time she’s gotten knocked down by a horse.”

If you are in Detroit and walk South, you will walk into the Detroit River. The Ambassador Bridge and the Tunnel don’t allow pedestrians.

The western-most tip of Virginia is farther west than Detroit.

If you find yourself in Detroit I would advise you not to try to walk anywhere.

So… he’s calling Alice Roosevelt Longworth an old bag?

The forerunner to glasses was a clear glass sphere or ball that was cut in half, polished, and used for magnification, primarily to help monks read manuscripts, and called reading stones. Then they hollowed out the flat side to make them more convex and more corrective for sight. Italy was big on glasswork.

Does this mean Canadians can just walk in across the border and head north too?

When I was a kid, we read that item about Detroit and Canada. Except, it was “If you fly directly south from Detroit …” . We didn’t believe it. Dad said to look at a map. So it was true. Then we looked at a more detailed map. We found it didn’t work if you started from the western part of Dedroit.

Did someone tell Journey about that whole Detroit/Canada thing? I mean, it just goes on and on and on and on.

I choose not.

Not unless you can walk on water.

Now really BION?? I know it’s a wonderful thing to live a long life, but there are literally thousands of people to hit age 96. Big Woop.

When walking south out of Detroit, use a bridge so you don’t drown in the Detroit River.

Another Alice through the looking glass as this one must have lived most of her life in amazement at the truly ridiuculous political changes that took place during her lifetime. Spent most of her time avoiding the flows of BS from candidates who wanted her endorsement.

So, how did they keep them in place? Were they the first form of pince-nez that held themselves in place by friction?

Alice didn’t vote for her father or the first 7 presidents of her lifetime because women didn’t have the right to vote.

“Walk”? What if you drive south?

Glasses were temporarily banned when Italian men quit making passes.

A bunch a dim witted idiots.

More Geography, the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal is EAST of the Atlantic (Caribbean) entrance.

My father’s 1972 Ford Gran Torino was technically a foreign car.

It was assembled at a Ford plant in Windsor, Ontario.

And Reno is west of Los Angeles.

Georgia is further east than Italy.

And if you walk even farther South you’ll fall in the lake…

And Moscow is precisely North of Jerusalem, same longitude. And Rome is farther North than New York.
