Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 12, 2020

Someone’s going to have to explain to me how a salad dripping with dressing was intended as finger food.

Does the elephant even speak in the 2019 remake? I’ve not seen it. (Who’d want to eat salad covered in dressing with their fingers anyway?)

Wikipedia: Cardini’s daughter said that the original recipe included whole lettuce leaves, which were meant to be lifted by the stem and eaten with the fingers

A Sunday extra: four items !

It should be eaten with the fingers?

You can pick the leaves in a Caesar salad up with your fingers if you want.

Once again this strip comes up with impossible statements. If a tsp of soil micros outnumber people on earth, this must have been written in the dark ages. We debunked this old falsehood in microbiology lab many decades ago.

I’ve never seen any version of Dumbo, but that takes some mad writing skills to write an entire movie around a character with no speaking lines—-and have it become a classic!

and the sad part is, that teaspoon of soil is smarter than so many people

That’s the way Caesar ate it

You’ve met a giant armadillo but you haven’t met my mother-in-law.

Take care and gesundheit.

huh, hmmm, whaddya know, and how about that?

and just a single microorganism or for that matter, a single blade of grass if found on another planet, would make world headlines

and change everything……the mere confirmation , the first valid proof that life can exist off of planet Earth

And Covid is proving that they are trying to take over completely…

Are these reruns or new?

Specifically, giant armadillos have 80 to 100 teeth. Smaller species may have fewer than humans.

I eat armadillos with my fingers. I’m just kinda a hand to mouth type guy.
