Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 03, 2013

My older brother went on an English-teaching internship in China while he was a BYU-Idaho student. Makes me wonder if he got a traditional Chinese haircut with the eye scraping.

I wonder how long it took that car to stop.

I’m already short: I sure wish I was immune to diabetes!

(and cancer!)

Was that 205.5 mph intentional, or just out of control on the ice?

@Ice, I dont want to look but did you find out “why”????

So, does scraping your eyeballs with a metal blade make your eyesight sharper?

hat exactly is being scraped off? We already have natural body functions designed to keep our eyes clean.This reminds me of a factoid I read about some years ago about odd cultural differences. In Japan, there was a popular fad going on where people would go into a place, pay a fee, and “fish” with others around a big tub filled with water. Now get this; there were no fish in the tub and the people knew it!

And sickle cell anemia prevents malaria. But….

No wonder Chinese people squint.

Years ago I heard of eyeball licking to remove foreign objects.

Barbering can be rough!My father-in-law grew up near Polok, Missouri – pop. 66?(Actual name – check Mo. map)Gun wielding man comes in and wants a shave, but says he’ll plug the barber if he gets nicked!One says that he’ll take him on, and after the shave, the gunman tells the barber that he had a lot of guts to take that deal.“Oh, I dunno – if I’d nicked you, I’t just went ahead and cut your throat!”

My appology – according to Wikipedia the town is spelled Pollock – same pronunciation.

Lick lick, scrape scrape – let’s call it love.
