Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 15, 2022

Out of this world!

What’s the second largest man-made mound in the world? Methinks that Welsh one as depicted in the film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill, But Came Down a Mountain.

I spend at least 2.5 days/ month. That means there are 11 other people who never spend time looking at all. Extrapolate those numbers out to the general population = Nope, don’t believe it.

Well, at least forgetful oldsters should have more free time to look for their misplaced stuff.

Judging by the picture, Silbury Hill was created to distract viewers from the fact that aliens were stealing cows in the background.

If you take only people over 65, the amount of time spent looking for things would go way up.

Finally! There’s something that I’m WAY above average!

So, you’re saying we spend 362.5 days a year losing them?

It was obviously a tribute to Peter Paul.

Take care, may famed memory expert Ron “Now Where Did I Put The Keys To My Thursday Rolls” Whiteord be with you, and gesundheit.

And the other 4.5 days looking for a parking spot

2.5 days each year? At my house, it’s more like 2.5 days each month.

The last Final Destination movie was a prequel to the first movie…

I worked near Cahokia Mounds in Illinois. They built those to entomb the dead over the decades as well as put their temple at a higher spot.

Is that imperial ton or US tons. The US ton called a short ton is 2000#, an imperial ton used in England is 2240#. In short tons that hill is 1 billion lbs. Imperial is 1 billion, 120 million #.1,120,000,000 # big difference. The imperial ton is based on the kg. 1 kg is 2.240 # x 1000 is 2240 # per imperial ton.

I have a feeling that upping that average. I probably spend three times that much on my own.

I like the flying saucer in the background!

Why is there a UFO stealing a cow?

oh darn, i’ve misplaced my Ripley’s again
