Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 20, 2014

I think this is Ligeti’s piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ClW_6AviI

Why does She use a walker? I know or have seen lots ofguys 7 feet or taller, & I knew one Woman who was 7 feet1 inch tall. She walked a well as anyone! Does She haveweakness in Her legs or a spinal problem??

The French think it is very funny when British tourists call their mates “Pet”

The original name could be in fact paix de nonne (nun’s peace). The two words are prononced the same way in French. The story goes that it was created by a nun to offer to an ennemy convent, as a sign of peace.

The other story, going with the word pet (fart), is that one day in a convent kitchen busy at work for a feast, a young apprentice nun gave a long and prolongued fart, and was so embarassed that she let fall a spoonful of dough into a recipient full of bubbling fat. And voilà.

The next time I let one in the kitchen, I’ll say I’m trying out a new recipe. What is “Old Farts Fart” in French?

Oh my, the composer has not clothes.

Our 18 month old grand-daughter has performed the entire musical composition, “The Three Bagatelles”, with no mistakes. (Believe It Or Not)

Rumeysa has Weaver Syndrome. She uses a walker due to weak muscles and bones caused by that disorder. She has a Google site at: https://sites.google.com/site/rumeysagelgi/english/home

Interesting that the naughty version of the story prevailed over time (the story pointed out by cabalonrye) rather than the nice version.

At least the composer did not to contend with Emperor Joseph II’s complaint to Mozart that one of his pieces had too many notes!

There are also pets de soeurs:

In Mexico there is candy that is also called Nun’s Farts (Pedos de Monja)

With this name György Ligeti must be hungarian.
