Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 03, 2017

The lower pressure of the atmosphere on Mount Everest causes the water to boil at a lower temperature than it does at sea level.

As someone whose Chinese zodiac sign is the rat, I wouldn’t want that wine anyway.

At 29,000 feet altitude, water boils at 71C/160F. So the egg will boil faster on Everest, but it won’t ever be cooked.

Astronauts train on Mauna Kea in Hawaii now because it resembles Mars.

I thought water boils- not eggs.

Nothing like a good Mousecatel.

Once you put it together, it becomes clear why the Apollo astronauts never boiled eggs on the moon…

When Ripley’s says “boil an egg”, I’m pretty sure they mean cook an egg using boiling water, which is common and acceptable usage and understanding.

Even little mice deserve better than this. Very depressing to see reference to animal abuse in this strip.

This gives “soft-boiled egg” a whole new meaning!

It’s the first time a Ripley illustration made me sad.

In China and Korea wine NOT steeped with young rats is very expensive and hard to find!
