Ripley's Believe It or Not has been presenting the incredible and the unusual in illustrated form since Robert Ripley's first "Champs and Chumps" comic published on Dec. 19, 1918. Currently, B.I.O.N. is illustrated by John Graziano, who has been working as an artist and illustrator since 1983, when he received a certificate in illustration from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. He has designed trading card sets and a portrait series based on the 1960s cult TV show "Dark Shadows." John has also created comic strips for "Scream Queens" magazine, designed t-shirts graphics and created storyboards and concept drawings for Hollywood films. Researcher Lucas Stram has worked since 2004 as the voice behind the cartoon, reviewing potential stories, filtering through the hundreds of weekly submissions and putting together the stories for John to bring to life. New submissions are always welcome. Just click here.

He refused to leave jail, so they arrested him. Government logic at its finest.

Sounds a bit like Otis from Mayberry.

3rd generation welfare – the state owns him, should put him to work.

Being adopted myself, I’ve always said siblings shouldn’t be separated if at all possible; and if it’s not possible, they should be made aware of each other’s existence.

And the fastest American train, the Amtrak Acela Express, can only make 150 mph (240 km/h) in certain parts of Rhode Island. Otherwise, they don’t generally exceed 125 mph (200 km/h).
Outside of the Northeast Corridor, no Amtrak trains exceed 79 mph (130 km/h) by law. The French TGV does 186 mph (300 km/h) on a daily basis.
It’s sad to see that so many countries are light-years ahead of the U.S. in rail travel, and Obama’s proposal to catch up was shot down by Congressional conservatives.

There is one exception. The Keystone Corridor between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, once part of the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad (other than the Northeast Corridor between New York City and Washington, DC), was recently upgraded to be rated for 110 mph (175 km/h).

Normal healthy twins are rarely broken up in adoption, in all countries. The real story is why in this case?

Have you ever tried to get anyone on wellfare to work before? If they have been on it their whole lives, forget it.

It is not a matter of catch up, it is a matter of regulations put in years ago by liberals and democrats.

He probably refused to leave because he had a nice clean place to stay, with three meals a day.

You seem to be so well informed about many things. Can you tell us the reason the conservatives shot down the proposal? I’m interested in knowing.

@zoidknight
So that means we shouldn’t try to fix the problem?
