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.

How does the tongue thing work anyway?

Bert Rutan sure designs some crazy looking aircraft.
But they work.

Yeah – I would like the scientific explanation for that one with the tongue as well!

tongue is such a bugger and sensations source that making it still saves brain capacity for other tasks :)

Strange, I don’t ever recall sticking out my tongue unless I was razzing somebody. Even trying it now seems almost unnatural. Maybe that’s been my problem all these years. I do scratch my head a lot though, if that counts. (No, I don’t have fleas)

Is Jeana related to Chuck Yeager?

And, coincidentally, FDR died on the TWELFTH day of April, 1945!

What would have FDR done with the year 2013?

@Knightman
I wonder what he did in 1913?
Bruno Zeigerts said, 4 months ago
Good thing FDR wasn’t around in 1313!(at least thereisn’t a 13th month … but imagine Friday the 13th … in 1313!

It’s a shame that so much of FDR’s economic policy was decided with similar logic.

also, don’t blast off into space on Apollo 13 at 1313 hrs, especially when the mission encompasses the 13th of the month

So that’s why Jordan did it. Ialways thought he was just mocking his opponent.

Not necessarily. He also built a plane for the Reno Air Races called the Pond Racer. The thing turned out to be the most dangerous race-plane since the Gee-Bee. Nothing Rutan did with it could stop the engines from constantly overheating. Eventually, it crashed, killing the pilot. ( By then Rutan had wisely walked away from the project. )
