Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 18, 2018

So… um… then how come no one has bothered to excavate the ocean’s underwater mines for gold? I also wonder what fruit sounds the same in the Chinese language for “together(ness)”?

That must have been a popular solution in London for neighbor dogs that barked all night.

The dog’s like, “Wait! What?!”

Well, Hail Britannia. What a society.

Remember to spay and neuter your pets.

My mom took a trip to Bulgaria in the 70’s and discovered that “peaches” sounds VERY close to the Bulgarian word for prostitute. Caused a bit of confusion at the dinner table.

’there’s GOLD in them thar waves!’

Who serves pears at a weding?? Also, they don’t serve burgers and fries because it sounds like a poor choice for a wedding banquet.

Pairs of what? Yuck-yuck.. lol, lmao, har har, etc..

I would happily to pay to use a dog as food.

Have never eaten a pear at a wedding in the USA. Miss Manners says no

I put in both “pear” and “separation” into Google Translate and listened to them in both of the Chinese language versions that were available (traditional and simplified) . The sound of the word for “pear” and “separation” sounded nothing alike in Chinese. But there may be other variations.

Guess no one had souls in London back then.

Peach in Turkish is similar to SOB in English. Doll (girl’s toy) in English sounds same as dol in Turkish, but a different fem. meaning!

Dogs and cats were not held in the same regard as they are today. For example google ’spit dogs".
