Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 25, 2020

My late mother was born in Santa Fe and had a gruesome fear of cockroaches. If she wasn’t reared in Phoenix, Arizona since she was about two and still had that cockroach fear, I don’t think she’d want to attend that barbecue.

Genghis, you sl-t!

Mesoamericans ate turkeys. Maybe they were blessing from the gods.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that turkeys were brought to earth by ancient aliens.

So 1 in 200 men are related to Genghis Khan….but how many women?

Cockroach festival? Well, if you can’t beat em, eat em?

When I was in the 4th grade, I remember an SRA reader that said, “In the future, the vast oceans will feed us.” Well I guess we can cross that off. Also when I was a kid the population was around 2.5- 3 billion; not 7.5+ billion.

There used to be held, and maybe there still is, an annual cockroach race in Roachdale, Indiana, during a local festival.

So THOSE are the ones who are encouraging the cockroaches.

Take care, may the gourd be with you, and gesundheit.

The Pacific garbage patch will continue to grow as so much of Asia uses their rivers as a garbage disposal. China’s economic boom is responsible for a huge percentage of the mess. Stopping this pollution should be the world’s greatest concern! All life comes from the sea, now it’s life full of bits of plastic.

How would aliens view the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?

6 cockroaches to a bun.

That sounds like a Khan job.

The Chinese government has tried to establish sovereignty on the patch but is being challenged by the tRump Administration over intellectual rights.

Ancient Mayan gods were the only ones small enough to saddle and ride turkeys.

In Santa Fe, New Mexico that BBQ cockroaches?

If you were to take a boat into the great Pacific garbage patch, you would not realize it visually. It looks no different than the ocean outside of the garbage patch. The bulk of the “trash” are micro particles of plastic and there are about 4 particles per cubic meter.

There is do well defined boundary for the great Pacific garbage patch, so claims about the size vary.

Thought Khan was Bert Kreischer!

I view them as vessels for stuffing.

How do you BBQ a cockroach?

I’ve spotted flocks of wild turkeys in my neighborhood and elsewhere, usually on the day after Thanksgiving. They’re seeking revenge on those who ate their brethren.

The BBQ cook off is not in New Mexico, it’s in Santa Fe, Texas

I didn’t realize that Mr. Khan got around that much.
