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

If you think that drawing of an owl is cute, try googling it to see photos of the real thing wrapped up in a blanket like a wise, angry baby.

Maybe the owl was trying to get to Mishka for their Swedish meatballs, but was weakened by the hot magnets holding the cables down.

I’ve never found any Swedish meatballs in MY turkey… :) Merry Christmas, everyone.

and popping a magnet into a freezer will strengthen its magnetism? as someone with some Danish heritage, do frikadeller also come from Turkey? (Merry Christmas, Ripley’s readers)

Merry Christmas everyone.

Did Swedish Vikings steal the recipe from Turkey?

That very magnetic characteristic is used as temperature control for a soldering iron.

I know all about that owl. She flew down from Oneonta, where some old family friends live. An owl in a Christmas tree will make people forget the partridge in a pear tree. Merry Christmas!

Turkish kebab is famous in ME, Doner Kebab

I’m sure there were a few squirrels in that tree as well now living in Central Park, broadening the gene pool.

A bird was in a tree, believe it or not!

But where do turkey meatballs come from?

And turkey originated in Greece

A turkey has Swedish balls?

Does this mean Turkish Meatballs originated in Sweden?

Now I don’t know whether to travel to Sweden or Turkey for authentic meatballs. The ones here are bland and I wonder if that’s the way they should taste.

I made my sons a kitchen knife and paring knife for Christmas. The steel had to be heated in a forge before quenching in oil. The correct temperature is just over when the steel will no longer be attracted to a magnet. I don’t know who figured that out ( or why it does) but blacksmiths have been doing that for 100s of years.

The owl story (which, by the way was this year, 2020) was one of the best Christmas stories this year. It reminds me of Micky Mouse’s Christmas tree he cut down and brought home with Chip ’n Dale on board.

And Turkish taffy was invented by an Austrian.

Upon release the owl took her name back to ‘Owlivia P’Owl’ and hired a lawyer suing the kidnappers for ‘probable clause’.

Swedish Meatballs did not originate in Turkey.

My magnetism increases when heated.

Ripley’s researchers need to be more careful about fact-checking!

Will the magnet heating reduce it’s strength permanently, or does it come back when cooled? I’m guessing permanently, but others might know.

Why would I not believe that item about the owl? There were several news stories about it.

Three years ago, a snowy owl was caught in a coffee roaster in Duluth, Minnesota. Fortunately, it was seen there and rescued before the day’s roasting began.

Nala the Great was gratified 1 day ago

It worked only if you could get the fleas to eat one!

You’re welcome !  My grade school edjacayshun continues to serve me. :-)

So they’re Turkey meatballs then?

and Turkish Delight came from Sweden

The wild (and farm) turkey was named after the eastern Mediterranean’s “Turkey merchants” who traded in a similar bird, and before the Republic of Turkey was officially established.

Oh yeah? Well Turkish towels originated in Sweden.

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

And French Fries are probably from Belgium.

so is all the ikea food i eat actually turkish food?
