Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 23, 2016

For some reason instead of reading about the architects in Jerusalem making giant flowers, I read that Jerusalem artichokes have big flowers.language can be weird.

Do tell, Mark, on how your donkey-translating technology works.

So how does Mark know his translator is working properly? It’s like I’ve heard that some breed of cat is 10X smarter than some other breed. Who the hell measured the IQ of the cats?

“When can I eat?” must be a common phrase from donkeys

His first translation was, “Mark, you’re an ass…”

So, those flowers are blown up regularly?

“I’d say thistles, but nobody listens to me, anyway.”.

Donkey phrases to English… doesn’t mean that’s what they donkey actually said.

Animal translators are usually saved for April Fool jokes.

What happened to the dog and cat translation software of about 15 years ago? Those should be smartphone apps by now. I don’t have a pet; so maybe they are available. That would make this donkey software less remarkable. Maybe I just gave away a million dollar idea.

Chris Bull and Phoebe Baker were married 80 feet in the air at Wookey Hole Caves in Somerset, UK. (I love English names!). April, 2015, a year earlier than the “first ever”. Mustafa and Anna were only 30 feet off the ground.In 1954 Berty Omankowski and Roger Decugis married on the wire at La Rochelle, France.Budget films shows old black and white films of two other high wire weddings.And this is from just a quick Google search. The fact checkers from Ripley’s need to learn how to Google.

British Pathefilms of Berty and Rogers marriage is on youtube. Oops, it was in Toulouse. The best man walked backwards on the wire to the platform. The priest was a high diver who did aerial stunts to raise money to build new churches.
