Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 17, 2018

Jon Arbuckle would be appalled by the cats sleeping 70% of their lives away.

Sense cats are hunters When they are taken out of the wild they have nothing to do but eat and sleep.

70% of the time cats have their eyes closed, their ears are wide open…

Wonder what the sleep meter says about dogs ? Would have to think they also sleep a lot .

I read years ago that the hole at the top of the cap would prevent someone from choking. I guess not.On bic’s website it statesBIC® pens have a hole in their cap is to prevent the cap from completely obstructing the airway if accidentally inhaled. This is requested by the international safety standards ISO11540,

I had a friend of a friend that died from choking on a piece of steak at home. I was tempted to attend the funeral and bring the deceased some steak sauce :) !!! You know you laughed!Like • Reply

And cats spend 70% of the rest snoozing.

I can confirm – my cat sleeps probably about 85% of the time, so she’s an overachiever…

Visited Graceland 11 years back – it was an enjoyable trip, but I was also struck by how ordinary some of his house was as well: wall air conditioners, a play set for his daughter, a very 70s kitchen, that sort of thing.

As for the pen cap? I can see that – I remember using “El Marko” markers back in the 70s, and those had a little tiny cap on the tip. That was small enough for anyone to inhale or swallow, which is why I’m sure they are no longer sold.

Yes, the observing scientists have been fooled again. As if the cats are asleep lying there with their eyes closed. Meow-waaaa-ha hahaha hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I’ve been to Graceland and it was the greatest vacation ever. If you are an Elvis fan, you need to go.

So cats sleep 8 of their 9 lives away? Sad.

Ball point pen caps have a tiny hole in the end now just in case of swallowing they give a person enough time to get help.

We’re celebrating the centennial of “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” a few days early here:

Our cats seem to be always sleeping. Until the Zoomie hour. And there is another good reason for my collecting fountain pens, nobody chokes on those caps.

I actually swallowed the cap to one of those orange and white invisible magic ink markers when I was a kid. Didn’t choke. It just passed thru my digestive tract.

70% seems like an awfully low percentage…

Architecturally, Jefferson’s Monticello is much more interesting than either.

I thought the little hole in the cap was supposed to prevent that

I like cats. Don’t care for Elvis.
