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.

Man, I should get my mother one of those tattoos. At least then she’d pick up the phone more often.

Vibrating tattoos… perfect for the brain dead masses. I wonder what would happen if harikari ever became en vogue.

We can’t be that far from the first implantable phones. Now that would truly be an i-phone.

Can anyone say Permanent Personal Tracking Device? Some of our cool new technologies sound an awful like nascent ‘Big Brother’ culture foundations.

Not only tracking devices, but lets add yet another means to stimulate cancer cells within the body. With all the wireless devices and lack of monitoring the strength of WIFI waves in this country, it’s not a mystery as to why cancer is so prevalent here. Convenience always comes with a price.

And the incision wouldn’t be healed before the next generation came on the market and you would have to “upgrade” to it.

Vibrating tattoos can be added to the nano animated tattoos coming some of them will be logos people are paid to sport. At least one lady got her forehead tattooed for money.

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a capital on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest capital in all of India!
