Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 10, 2023

I don’t see how that should cause a yuck response.

I know you can taste with your lungs, I did. One day whilst eating a bag of salt and vinegar crisps (chips to our American chums) I sneezed and thought nothing of it; couple of days later when I coughed I tasted them again. Must have inhaled crisp dust.

Speaking of taste receptors… you remember those pictures of the tongue that showed where certain tastes occurred on the tongue (front, center, sides, back, etc.)? It was utter fabrication. Not true.

I ate a burger… the cow was larger than me! :D

Thus my cousin Margaret’s propensity to smoke sourdough bread. ~ Gus, keepin’ an eye on things

May the implored be with you as she is with glee, and gesundheit.

It was found out that whale poop is used by plankton that they eat. When whale population decreases, plankton populations decrease too.

Lungs have muscles?

whale vomit, ambergris, is worth $40000 a kilogram and is used in expensive perfumes — and is now thought to be whale poop, not regurgitated

That anglerfish is almost as UGLY as Don Biden or Joe Trump!

Those bitter taste receptors also detect animosity in foods

Okay so whale poop is good for our environment but cow gas is bad for it. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me.

Orcas are not whales – they’re the largest version of dolphins…

So, if I were an angler fish, how many more donuts could I consume…intriguing!

Here is a video explaining how whale poop helps the environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKiqHQT48-I

(I do not assess the accuracy of claims made in this video. Some of the claims may be exaggerated.)

Blue whales excrete two tons a day. Most of it liquid.

Now I don’t feel so bad when I do #2 three times a day. No applause, please! Hey, just doing my part for the environment!

Major impact?? It keeps getting warmer, so I don’t think that they’re pooping enough.
