Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 05, 2014

For the WW1 bit, because no one suspects glowworms! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

5000 stars? How do they know that it’s not 5001..or 4999, & who does the counting.

5000 stars? How do they know that it’s not 5001..or 4999, & who does the counting.-Their agents must work VERY hard.

Do 5000 stars die every second also?

It’s a miracle that worms survived on the battlefield, much less those that glow.

An old buddy of mine tried to climb a radio tower to steal a Vulture chick years ago and got vomited on during the failed attempt. We told he was an idiot for trying, the smell was so awful that we made him walk home.Took him 6 hours, no one would give him a ride.

I do like to watch the turkey vultures soar, seldom flapping their wings.

What a bogus claim. 5000 stars? What about the distance beyond vision?

I wonder how many galaxies they include in that 5000 stars per second number.

time for a little birth control…

Probably to feed their chicks too?

.. Is part of the 5000 from the light of burnt out ancient star? Then those are not stars.

I think he means to suggest that some of those are not new stars but flare-ups of nearly dead stars.

I never can remember where Jars is located. Is it in Belgium or Holland? :)

Good thing Monsanto wasn’t around in WWI, there wouldn’t have been any glowworms/

Actually 10,000 stars were formed last night, but we won’t know it for another 10, 000 years.
