Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 16, 2021

I wonder why their abs are so different than the abs on a person. On an insect, it looks more like their butts.

May the Lord be with you.

but is it patriotic in the US to drink herbal tea?

“Hey, Maude! Does this food make my a$$ look big?”

I like big ant butts and I cannot lie.

OK, but who provides the pancakes?

It’s not just owls. Ever watch a cat? They track with their whole head because their eyes don’t move like ours do.

It’s WHOA. Not WOAH.

The coffee break arrived around the same time.

For owls, there’s not that much to see anymore, so why bother.

Is the honey storer male or female? That could affect relationships.

I don’t think they understand the definition of abdomen.

Honey. Ants!

Take care, may world renowned cane sugar grain counter Grace “At Least I Don’t Snort the Stuff” Sorekneesord be with you, and gesundheit.

They can not move their eyes because their eyes are oblong, so no space inside the socket for them to turn.

There is an entire country in the Caribbean that hates tea.

I was going to comment, but I need some coffee first.

How do owls rotate their heads without their eyes moving?

An owl with his supper perched on a deck post and I stepped out to get a photo. Didn’t bother him. He just looked at me as if to say, I am eating! Have some manners! Got the pic and that look. Treasure it.

My gran on my mother’s side was a Scot and my gran on my father’s side was First Nations, Haida Tlingit. No coffee. Tea in all its varieties and flavours. Summer morning tea: Earl Grey, Hot.

That’s why Owls can pivot their heads 270 degrees. Try that and your nick snaps.

It was not the “U.S.” in 1773.

Retrieval of the food by the colony is not pretty.

Owls don’t have eyeballs.

Freedom coffee!

Humans store food in their abdomens too, we just don’t use it to support anyone else.

Boston Tea Party – back when Americans were united against a common foe. Sigh…

War of 1812 is when the REAL cultural split began. The entire Federalist Party went down the drain because of their ties with the British.

I wonder what would happen today, if the leader of a major political party aligned itself closely to a strong, dedicated adversary of the United States? Would we have the courage to denounce that leader and the party that he led?

I think I’m related to a Honey Ant.

Some sick people will feel the urge to squish this ant. Not being sick, I do not feel the urge. I wonder what shoes should those sick people wear, or maybe bare foot would be better! Those people are disgusting.

So not exactly junk in the trunk…

To think, coffee became popular without a Starbucks on every corner.

Learned the bit about owls sixty-some years ago from Thornton W. Burgess: How the Eyes of Old Mr. Owl Became Fixed. I knew the Mother West Wind stories before I knew Oz, or Winnie-the-Pooh, or the Just-So Stories.

If owls can move their head, almost 360°, why would they need to move their eyes?

And the honey ants taste really good. A native food of Australian Aboriginals.
