Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 28, 2012

What a bummer for Motor City. Makes me wonder how many times Seattle has tried.

and the river became blood.

I saw the red thing on TV

Shades of Egyptian red.

I heard that there’s 10 to 1 odds going that Drambuie gets the Olympics before Detroit…

In August, 2012 Bob Smith of Long Island, NY caught a 17 lb., 80 year old lobster named “Unlucky Larry” in Long Island Sound and ate him!

The problem is that the members of the IOC actually HAVE been to Detroit… :D :D :D

When I look at an actual picture of the red Yangtze River, the theory that it’s from suspended sediments makes sense to me. The colorist makes the river look a lot like blood. Creepy.

Suggestion: Hold an international competition for anyone to come up with the best workable way to quickly convert Detroit to a place where people want to visit and live rather than escape from.

WWZ anyone?

Lucky Larry would have been too tough to eat anyway.

I thought all of China turnes red shortly after WWII.

That lobster looks like a slug to me

…and here’s Bob

But, Detroit does have the distinction of looking like Berlin… in 1945.

@Sneaky Bucherugh, I see what you did there

The only reason destroit would want the Olympics is because of the corruption. They see themselves making millions off of it, while the taxpayers get huge loads of debt.Who’d want to go to destroit? Good grief!

Sneaky, I’ve heard the same thing from my son. He lived in Novi, and hardly ever drove into Detroit. He said you can sense the danger just getting close to the city.
