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.

Well, it won’t be easy to find a suspect of a crime if a Vadoma tribesman commits a crime when checking for footprints. So during the two-year ban, what do those German students and teachers do in their free time? Finally, you’d need a really big mailbox and bank account for an envelope that huge.

Back in high school I would have enveloped and mailed two of my toes to the school board just to have had two years without homework.

Who’s going to foot the bill?

Garima obviously has too much time on her hands and probably has normal toes.I don’t think she has really thought this one through. Besides, what the hell is going in that envelope and is she prepared to foot the postage?

I remember hearing about a certain people group (asian I believe) that are frequently born with multiple thumbs and or fingers, but normally have them cut off not too long after birth (by cutting off all circulation until it loses feeling).

Medically the mutation has several different names: ‘ectrodactyly’, ‘ectodermal dysplasia’, and (for those who didn’t go to med school) ‘cleft syndrome’. It is genetic. Wiki lists a lot of other problems that go with it, including urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and hearing loss.

They will probably still get more done in class than American schools.

Maybe Garima has mailed several letters to the Prime Minister only to be ignored (whether on purpose or on accident). This time, perhaps she is refusing to be ignored. The Prime Minister can’t miss THAT envelope.
