Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 11, 2023

I heard the X files were Twitter before it was X.

In case you didn’t know… It’s not a literal apple box. It’s an industry term for a small, wooden platform used for boosting someone higher.

Local station’s traffic woman had to stand on a box to be even with the traffic screen. Almost stepped off accidentally one time.

maybe the fish just ate a blue Popsicle….

I had to use steel leads in another life to fish pickerel because of their sharp pointy teeth, so I doubt that object keeping its mouth open is a hand. If they find that fascinating, I should send in my Large Mouth Bass picture that looks like a demon skull inside.

The James Woods telescope doesn’t just question Mark, but Mathew, Luke and John as well.

Tom Cruise uses a taller box in his movies. Hollywood has a lot of experience dealing with height differentials. IMHO one of the best was on LA Law. Michael Tucker (5’5") and his wife of about 15 years at the time Jill Eikenberry (5’8") were shot differently. When ever he was speaking to her the angle was from below his shoulder looking up and when she was speaking to him the shot was from above her shoulder looking down. And she was always in heels and he was wearing shoes as flat as they could get. They made 3 inches look more than it was. Another good one was the streamer Wednesday with Jenna Ortega (5’1"). She was made to look shorter than the 5’0" Christina Ricci through camera tricks and even shorter than the 6’3" Gwendoline Christie with Ms Christie wearing high heels and a swept up coiffure. 14 inches is a lot, but with the hair and heels it was closer to 20 and with camera angles of Wednesday looking up at Weems and Weems looking down down on Wednesday it does look even greater.

The Riddler’s biggest scheme yet.

Incidentally, IMDb advertises “The X-Files” today.

Why was the alien with 3 eyes doing the sound boom? He should’ve been the cameraman.

Everything about a fish is “genetically induced”.

That pickerel resembles some adult toy in all your favorite colors. Batteries sold separately.
