Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 27, 2022

Wow, who knew that about the Netherlands! Crazy!

I’m moving the hell out of here to live in the Netherlands.

The oldest unknown gorilla in the world is 5006 years old. Believe it or not.

I’ve never weighed in on jokes before, but here’s one of my favorite lawyer jokes. Why are scientists now using lawyers instead of rats in laboratory experiments? Well, (1) there are more lawyers than rats, (2) some people actually like rats, and (3) there are some things that a rat simply will not do.

Tonight’s story is about a clever underclassman at a prestigious University:

The young man approached the Professor’s desk as said educator was starting to read and grade the immense stack of term papers on his desk.“Here’s my paper, Sir,” said the student. “I’m sorry, young man. That paper was due yesterday, and I do NOT accept late submissions.”“Well, excuse ME, Sir,” the student said, haughtily. “Do you know who I am?”“No, I do not, and I do not care,” replied the prof.

“Good!” the student answered gleefully, as he stuck his paper into the middle of the stack and beat a hasty retreat.

It’s air resistance. Baumgartner jumped from so high up, the air resistance was minimal.

By the law of gravity, Felix would have to fall 35124.1 feet to attain 830 mph at which point he would go splat so he’d have to start a lot higher than that to have enough time to slow his descent enough for a safe landing.

Bwahahahahaha!

Are you telling me they timed everyone’s sleep in the Netherlands? Because if they didn’t, there’s no way that statement is true.

This is great – I’ve been wondering my whole life what the average sleep time is in the Netherlands.

In theory, once something reaches terminal velocity, it cannot fall any faster.

I wish snoring did sound like Zs instead of GKBBRBBKKLLUULs.

Take care, may uncaptured gorilla Wug “What A Bunch Of Dorks Living In Zoos Hey You Throw Poop At The Gawking Humans” Ughord be with you, and gesundheit.

Well,at least he’s not Gorilla Grodd.He’s been around since the early 1960’s and he’s a real pain-in-the neck.

I’ll never understand why apes, horses, and tortoises live so long and most dogs don’t make it past their 12th birthday!

So can Fatou retire now and get his social security check?

Just a little heads up. Mrs. Fogwhistle and I leave on a road trip tomorrow morning. Don’t worry if I am strangely quiet for the next 10 days to 2 weeks.

Here’s a quickie for the road.

A skydiver jumps out of a plane and soon discovers his chute won’t open.

As he’s plummeting to his death, he sees a man rocketing up toward him from the ground.

As the two men pass each other, the skydiver shouts, “Do you know anything about parachutes?”

The man says, “No. Do you know anything about gas leaks?”

Until next time.

The guy who broke the speed of sound. I think he did that space jump back in 2005 sponsored by red bull.

i wonder how much sleep above average folks get…

I usually get 6-7 hours of sleep a night but I make up for it, by taking a few naps during the day.

About the average sleep b.s., well whoop de doo for them! They must not know what it is like to have insomnia, night terrors, and nightmares like the average person. If they are even average.
