Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 27, 2013

Now if you dare clench your fist in class, you’re expelled for 44 years.

‘Nother thing about Baum: his first name is Lyman (like in the original owner of Odie in “Garfield”). Although he disliked it, it was the name of an uncle. Anyway, how does a clenched fist create a stronger mem’ry?

“Ignore that chicken behind the curtain!”

“Bring me the broomstick of the Wicked Chicken of the West!”

Okay, that doesn’t have much punch. :p

Incidentally, I recall reading that some scholars say the Wonderful Wizard of Oz was actually an economic allegory. For instance, Dorothy’s shoes were originally silver in the book.

Note to self: Skip the wine in China!!!

writing answers on my fist always helped my memory on exams.

Arlen’s music. Harburg’s words

I’ll take the iocaine wine instead.

Where does Pink Floyd fit in?
