Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 09, 2020

so tigers’ stripes are like humans’ finger/toe prints and clouds’ snowflakes

Why, Jason? WHY?

So sliced bread is the best thing since television.

Does mean people had to watch tv for an entire year without sandwiches or tv dinners? Gasp.

I would guess the same thing with zebra stripes?

Of course their stripe pattern is different, how else would they recognise one another !

Prior to that we had to make due with steam powered televisions

Tennessee Ernie Ford would just love those steaks.

I feel like so-called Ripley is running out of material. Only that fake meat thing is weird and the others couldn’t be more believable. Get weirder, Ripley!

How can you be sure there are not two tigers on this planet that do not have the same markings? Or identical snowflakes? Or even an identical fingerprint?

Several popular things were invented long before they were introduced to the public or became affordable to become popular. Just one example is the Internet which had existed for quite some time before the public was allowed to use it.

(I think 90% of the people in this comment section know all of that already, but I’m feeling like my hero, Captain Obvious today)

Was there a NON electronic TV?

Have all tigers been checked?

I don’t get vegans. They don’t like meat, I get that. Why are they trying to do meat? Forget meat! We’re OK with meat. We don’t need your “meat”. Do something tasty with veggies and leave me(at) alone. The only other rational explanation is that they crave meat, they want meat, and they feel silly pretending not to. So, they want all of us to make the same mistake. No, thank you! :D

imagine how much it costs to change the ink in THAT printer

One would have to compare the stripes of every tiger that ever lived for that to be a true statement. Same with snowflakes.

So, for a year, the saying was, “That the greatest thing since Television”.

Several research teams were sent out to verify the authenticity of the tiger stripe theory. For some unknown reason, none of them have returned yet. In other news, the tiger population is thriving right now. It has been put forth that it may be due to the sudden appearance of a new food source. Pictures at eleven.

on this day in history on September 9th 1948 Kim Il-sung declares the establishment of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Close enough to count and map the tiger stripes = close enough to never report two with the same.

Take care and gesundheit.

But is it kosher? :-0

I’ll pass on the steak.

As I understand, the television came before radio, though I think that may mean before voice radio, as the Titanic had radio.

Is the a database of tiger patterns, like there is for fingerprints?

Poll: does anyone ever click on any of the annoying ads that pop up?

Veg eats meat. Thus is why so many companies are trying to imitate the flavor and texture.

Vegan steaks? Why???

Tiger stripes are like humans finger prints. Now to invent a machine that can read tigers stripes….

Give some of that meat to Geena Davis. See if it tastes synthetic to her!

While definitely more limited than electronic television, I’ve always thought mechanical television was kind of neat.

Do identical twin tiger cubs have identical (or mirror image) stripe patterns?

1) Who was nuts enough to follow the tigers around and compare the stripes?…2) Now if the Israelies team up with Craig Ventnor and his artificial life we can have dogs and cats that you only need to water occasionaly…3) Which proves that folks needed TV more than sandwiches…

Guess my father had it wrong. He always said something was “The greatest thing since sliced bread.” He should have been saying: “_The Greatest thing since the television!_”
