Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 23, 2023

The thing about taxi drivers is actually true, but it’s hard to say if their hippocampi grew or were larger to begin with. The qualification process to be an official cab driver in London is so demanding on memory that it may be predisposed toward those with a neurological advantage.

Know of any countries who despise the bagpipes?

I thought the hippocampus was at the University of Tanzania.

Fun-UnFact:

In some cultures, you can start a war using marching accordion battalions.

Taxi drivers need to tax their brains, and the government needs to tax their income.

When will the Commonwealth countries put Chuck 3 on their money?

I think what the hippocampus means is that taxi drivers have to go to college, and the only college that will accept them in a class society like Britain is the hippopotamus campus. Actually, hippos are very dangerous animals and thus need a college campus all to themselves.

When the taxi driver trainee graduates, his hippocampus reminds him to shout, Hip Hip Hurray.

The English fought the Scots for centuries and thus would not enjoy hearing Scottish bagpipers.

What harm will a bagpipe do?

Bagpipes are the reason the British were so bad at sneak attacks.

Even when the bagpipers play “Amazing Grace?”

Believe it or not, Aldi cashiers were required to memorize the price of everything sold in the store. Items did not have labels with the price, and the stores did not have UPC scanners. I don’t know if that’s still the case.

Beaches of Dunkirk… “In danger of being over run…send a division of tanks…or a PIPER.”

Every time there are mass bands I say I will eat my hat if they don’t play Amazing Grace, I still have my hat. I was in a couple of Scottish Regiments, during battalion exercises the bands would be there. Quite something to see and do,soldiers as far as the eye could see.

Well, I’ve seen a few people get angry enough at the sound of bagpipes to become violent.

Take care, may wannabe Royal Family Official Photographer Igor “The Eye Is The Lens And The Lens Is The Eye And The Queen Did Threaten Me In The Garden So The Twain Never Did Meet Although Yes I Do Stare At Her On The Money From Time To Time When Ever I Get One” McWhathumpord be with you, and gesundheit.

Pipes bomb?

you want to hear bagpipes? check out the snakecharmer on youtube…heavy metal bagpipes…she is awesome

I suppose, bagpipes are being played badly, that they could be considered audiological warfare.

I know every time I hear bagpipes, I want to kill something.

Keep Portland weird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnVjkE87FDY

If you’ve ever marched with/around bagpipes, you’ll agree with the British government.

Actually the enemies of Britain considered bagpipes inhumane weapons of war.

The British government wasn’t alone.

Hah! We don’t need bagpipes in America for an instrument of war. We have rap!

The piper introduced the ladies (or laddies) from hell

I don’t have any problem with bagpipes except they sound terrible and are hard to listen to

Hippo campus? How does a large zoo specializing in hippopotamuses help cabbies?

Some to this day consider bagpipes to be a declaration of war.

Well, that’s one of the few details “Braveheart” got right.

A boat was overturned in Niger about 10 years ago by a hippo and 13 people were killed. Hippo campuses field their own deadly swim teams.

Why would there be a picture of the Queen when she was 8? She didn’t become queen until she was in her 20s.

You just gotta Luv bagpipes…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdVRKPLnxS4

To use bad English is regrettable.

To use bad Scotch is unforgivable.

If they’re played lousy,most neighbors would declare war
