Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 12, 2019

¿Cuántas palabras por minuto habla la persona hispanohablante media? (Quantas palavras por minuto fala a pessoa lusófona mediana?)

In German, you will sometimes need a few seconds to say one word…

Will the guests be stoned, too?

100 to 150 words per minute? How many of them are meaningful? :D

Sort of hard to smoke under water ……. shotgun effect ?

For some strange reason I have a hard time seeing Abe Lincoln speaking the Gettysburg Address 110-150 words per minute. I mean the address in my opinion would have a more of an impact at a lower rate. Like I said just my opinion.

I don’t know what the rate of their speaking mut it sure seems to me that most young girls today have never heard of enunciation of words, especially while singing. My hearing has deteriorated to the point that I can no longer understand the words to almost any song. Strangely I can still understand those on recordings from back in the 50’s and 60’s with no problem. I once heard a singer from back then talk about how enunciation of words was drilled into them by the record producers. As for Rap music when people talk about the lyrics I always say that it doesn’t offend me because I have never understood a word of it. I can’t complain about something that I have no idea about. I do think that the speed that people talk is getting faster, however I am from the South so we have always talked and listened slower.

A lot of people die after getting stoned, too.

I like the courteous reference to Abraham Lincoln. Happy 210th, Mr. Lincoln, wherever you are!

Eeeeeeeverybody must get stoned, alright!

Stoned on what? And how?

Yes, Maine has given a whole new meaning the the term “Lobster Pot”!

Is it just me, or is today’s RBON Ripley’s Interesting or Not? I choose not! ;o{

Shouldn’t that say, “at a rate of five score and ten to seven score and ten words per minute”?

Does eating a stoned lobster get ME stoned? Let me have at it!

My wife speaks at 140 to 170 words a minute. With gusts to 195.

The bears are a baseball team, right?

So you put the Lobster in the pot and the pot in the lobster! This is rather confusing. I’m beginning to feel stoned just thinking about it.

So the lobster doesn’t feel it so much when it gets boiled alive?

That’s nothing to brag about; in Washington they speak twice that fast and still say nothing…
