Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 21, 2012

And the amazing thing was that Rocky Marciano never went down in any one of the 49 fights of his career!

If you’re Irish American, you might possibly have the Inca to thank for the fact your family came here.

( They gave the potato to western civilization ..and a method of cultivation that left the potato extremely vulnerable to any form of blight )

leap month? that dosn’t make any scence

@Kafka by the Shore:c/p from Wiki:Moore floored Marciano in the 2nd round for a two-count, but was knocked down five times himself. Marciano’s last career fight, he retires with a record of 49-0.

Apparently, the Incas ‘went for the gold’!

@xall – with our calendar, there are about 13.2 cycles of the moon, not 12 months – so about every 5 yrs or so they would have to add an extra full cycle to keep the “seasons” correct

I always know the the Jewish high holidays come on the first full moon of the month-such as Passover. Bless God’s chosen.

This makes the economy of “Star Trek” slightly more credible.

Marciano was not “heavy” as heavyweighys go. About 190 most of the time

In as much as the universe resembles a belt driven rather than a gear driven machine, no calendar is perfect. However, the Gregorian is slated to stay in step for apx 10,000 years.(If a binary star had planets, what would the calendar look like?)
