Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 02, 2024

But the super wealthy never have enough money! Some use it for good, I can name one that doesn’t!

The other day I asked my buddy Fred if he liked seafood…

Fred answered that as a matter of fact, he did.

I then suggested he should go see Mary, just a ways up the street, cuz I hear she’s got crabs….

No sense of humor Fred was not amused.

How do they get the horse or dog to operate the snowmobile (or car)?

Which came first? The Heikegani crab or the samurai? My money’s on the crab. There’s an interesting article on Wikipedia regarding this.

Golfoccerball: a combination of golf, soccer & American football, played on a muddy field by men in loincloths.

What about the Titanic movies before Jaws.

Jaws was the first film shot on the ocean. What about one of the earlier Titanics, or Sink The Bismark, or In Harms Way?

I thought the Poseidon Adventure (The Poopside Down Affair) was the first.

In Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, he talked about the samurai face on the back of the crab, saying the Japanese unintentionally created selection pressure that caused the crab’s back to evolve to look more like a scowling samurai. But, Sagan might have been mistaken: Humans don’t eat heikegani crabs.

Right on for the creative people all over the world (including myself)!!

100% of Joshes prefer to be remembered for having survived WW3 over our obscurity or poverty

For any fans of the movie: Actress and stuntwoman Susan Backlinie played Chrissie Watkins, the shark attack victim in the opening scene of Jaws. She passed away on May 11, 2024 at the age of 77.

I’m with the 31%. Guilty

31% of Americans have neither fame nor wealth.

Olympic ski jumpers reach about 60 mph before they hit the end of the jump ramp.

Olympic downhill racers typically hit 60-70 mph, but have been recorded as fast as 100 mph ( at the 2024 Olympics)

The world record for speed downhill racing is 158.760 mph, which is faster than you can fall through the air. Terminal velocity is about 125 mph, in the classic skydiving pose of belly down and arms and legs out.

i’d be happy to be remembered for the money that folks allegedly don’t need…

Perhaps the Samurai mask resembles the Heikegani crab shell?

Most folks aren’t remembered for any significant amount of time anyway. Maybe a generation or so, but that’s it.
