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.

I can taste the difference.
Bottled water usually leaves a slightly metallic and cloying taste on the tongue. This is absent in tap water.

The tap water where I live tastes like a swimming pool.

Interesting with Mr. Bond’s gravestone. (Where is he buried though?)

@briatollah; Ours, too. Far too much chlorine in it. It’s like drinking laundry water. I had to buy chlorine filters for the sinks

The gravestone of Dr. Todd Kirwan, founder of Major League Human Cannonball resembles a cannon.

A 2€ bottle of Evian water… spell evian backwards… doesn’t this describe people who pay 2€ for water that is free and tastes better out of a tap?

You’re getting robbed there in Europe – $2.58 for a bottle of water??
Most water here in the U.S. isn’t free, but only costs pennies per hundred gallons if you have public water.
Where I live (not far from Hershey, Pennsylvania), I only pay the cost of the electricity to pump the water from my well, but my family has a water meter on our system so the sewer authority knows how much to charge us. We only got public sewers here this summer.

Why is there no mention of one of the most-infamous days in world history, 71 years ago today?

I’ve worked in dialysis for a few years, one of the things we use is a lot of is water. Trust me when i say that there is more to water than meets the eye.The easiest thing to do is carbon filter your drinking water. I also am wondering why there is little mention of Pearl Harbor by the media in general……..agenda perhaps?

That’s because most bottled water IS tap water.

Tap water tastes like all the chemicals and minerals and metals that are in it.

But remember, it is within safe EPA limits.

Actually, in most places tap water is not free and does not taste better.
