Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for April 27, 2018

Proper English requires the phrase “one fewer ridge”.

So if it’s 700,000 daily, what is it per minute? It also never occurred to me that you can inhale your own skin particles.

486

According to Merriam Webster, less should be used in matters of degree, while fewer should be used for quantities.

Ruffles have ridges too!

The ridges are a carry over of when coins were minted using actual precious metal. The practice of “clipping” coins was to carefully shave or clip some of the gold or silver off of the edge of the coin. So that the coin still had the denomination but was actually less valuable and the unscrupulous would pocket a bit for himself. The ridges prevents that practice. Of course it isn’t really needed now.

That’s a good fact about quarters having plusser ridges than dimes.

Now I’ll be able to tell them apart.

never burn your ridges behind you

Stupid flashback: When I was a kid I learned in one of my Tarzan comics that Tarzan also slept with one eye open.

Gripping your pillow tight….

Dolphin moms, you mean.

“Watcha doin’, Earl? We’ve got a deadline to meet.” “I know I know.. hang on, I’m still counting skin particles.. 657,433..657,434..”

At last – a way to determine if your coins are counterfit!

But be prepared to get ugly comments from those behind you in the check-out line while you’re counting them!

I thought dolphins never fully slept.

You probably inhale nearly that many of other people’s skin particles.
