Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 07, 2020

Hot dog sales won’t be that high this year.

I wonder how many hot dogs rolling around on gas station rotisseries, could criss cross the country…

The AT-AT Imperial Walkers were also inspired by the container cranes at Oakland Harbor near San Francisco.

I bet if they put all the hot dogs on the ground to stretch from one of those ballparks to the other, nobody would buy them because they’d be too dirty.

One time I saw three quarries where the granite for curling stones could be found, but I took it for granite.

Take care and may God bless.

A really good movie is Men with Brooms. Subtle humour etc.

That’s a lot of hot dog revenue that will be missed this season!

They’re not even going to get out of the Chicago suburbs.

Coming soon, hurling stones with a Nike swoosh.

On this day in history August 7th 1976 The US Viking 2 spacecraft goes into orbit around Mars.

I think the granite taken from the quarry at Barre, VT would be satisfactory. The US military use it for headstones at Arlington.

Some of those hotdogs taste like they’ve been lined up from one city to another.

Take care and gesundheit.

Are those foot longs or regular hot dogs, and how far does the chili go?

MMMMMMMM Dodger Dogs.

They won’t even reach N Racine Avenue this year.

according to my calculations, that many hot dogs would stretch about half that far. 30 stadiumsX average attendanceX 162 gamesX hot dog length (8"), % of fans buying hot dogs 50%, average attendance 20,000.

Pipestone is a little similar in availability restrictions.

…and Busch Stadium in St. Louis sells more nachos and cheese than any other stadium.

I wonder where they mine the stuff for curling irons…

People would know about these quarries if they watched “How It’s Made”

They call it black granite, which is a contradiction in terms. Granite is scientifically defined, and must not only be more than 95% light minerals, but that has to be predominantly quartz, not feldspar, to boot.

Those curling stones are made of diorite, NOT granite.
