Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 19, 2024

The Grizzly bear is a warning, always have somebody that runs slower than you when you go hiking!

Honolulu has held its Spam Jam for about the same length of time.

“SPAM! SPAM! SPAM LOVELY SPAM! WONDERFUL SPAM!” Monty Python

“Despite their large size…”

Or perhaps because of it. Shouldn’t we question our tendency to assume large animals (such as bears, elephants, hippos, bison) are slow? Those listed above -and more – can certainly outrun you if they’ve a mind to.

And… Xalcolm M.

A lot of us only sleep for 3 or 4 hours a night ;-)

I got an e-mail saying “At Google Earth, we can read maps backwards”,

and I thought… “That’s just spam”

(It’s Ok if at first you don’t get it, – - took me a while)

He was probably worn out from his speech about landing on Plymouth Rock.

And how many naps did Mr. X take during the day?

My friends invite me camping, due to my large size, I was not running 35 mph so I was the grizzly food.

Well, if they eat Spam just once a year, I suppose their health is okay. Although it is good on crackers, lol!

“Spamarama” in Austin, TX, has a much longer history than the event in CA.

His autobiography was worth reading. I read it in college…about 1971. It implies, through context, that one reason he was killed was because he’d become Muslim than Black. His trip to Mecca showed him that some Muslims were people whose “hair was the blondest of blonde, skin was the whitest of white.” (quote from memory)

I’ve never seen a grizzly bear so disgusted as when it opened a can of Spam. He coulda had a salmon!

Wlcome to my nocturnal world, Malcom.

Lovely Spam, wonderful Spam…

Malcom never had melatonin

I’d rather a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese on a crunchy toasted kaiser roll than the “Spam, egg, Spam, Spam, bacon, and Spam”

Here in Spamalot!

Problem is, it is not kosher.

Lucy must’ve been part Painter, too!

Big fat hairy deal, to Malcom X! I go to bed at midnight, and am most usually awake from 2:00 on. I still work, and haven’t used an alarm clock, in years.

Just this weekend in St. Louis, MO, a museum hosted the world’s largest ever assembly of people wearing underwear on their heads, with 355 people decked out in that fashion.

What’s in spam and what does SPAM stand for?
