Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 17, 2021

I guess it was YouTube where I learned about Ben Franklin writing that essay, and I googled it to make sure the narrator wasn’t making it up.

I suppose tyromancy is unreliable about predicting important things like lottery numbers.

May the Lord be with you.

Usually when I encounter cheese I predict it will be in my stomach in the near future.

In 2016 my favorite cheese mysteriously changed to Limberger, grew fuzz and turned orange.

It raises the question: What is the proper attire for a mole rat??

Frostnip can be prevented by wearing a fleece-lined bra. (Come on, you know you wanted to make a similar joke.)

It should have been “Fart Proudly … but do not fly kites in a thunderstorm”

… only Ben Franklin could have gotten away with that!

When one is outside gas is not a problem, but when it is unexpected liquid . . . yikes!

Rats! What eevil creatures!

I’ve seen Mr. Franklin’s book at museums here in Boston, and refused to buy it, cuz I hate the title.

Watch out for Rufus, Kim Possible.

Ben Franklin may have had a problem with uncontrollable flatulence.

Tyromancy is easy. If there’s cheese, your future is bright. If there’s not, there’s no future at all. :D

Italian fortune teller: Your future no-a look Gouda.

I wonder if ol’ Ben was practicing tyromancy when he cut the cheese…

The Swiss abandoned Tyromancy when they found holes in their predictions and the Limburgers’ predictions stank.

I was a Director at a contact lens manufacturing company in the 80’s and we were introducing a new lens that allowed gases like Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide to actually pass through the lens! We were brainstorming one day in order to come up with a catchy name that would make it easier to market! I I said "I have the perfect name since it is gas permeable, let’s call it Flatulens! It got a laugh, but that’s all! ;o)

Yes, Ben Franklin did predict the olfactory future by eating cheese.

Take care, may Nairobi ex-Mayor Mbupo Bukord be with you, and gesundheit.

I think my wife has Frostnip 24/7.

Today is Ben Franklin’s birthday.

Minions are naked mole rats! But when do they turn yellow and get their blue overalls?

Minion mole rats wear red hats.

It is something altogether different in Nagano Japan.

Cheese futures can be quite profitable.

Franklin was an old fart when he wrote that.

i have a book of Franklins’ with that in it…and i can tell the future with cheese…it causes my triglycerides to go up

I hear several great civilizations rose from tryomancy, but were ultimately destroyed my dairy allergies..

I always fart proudly, I lift up one leg to share it with the world

OMG! I actually HAVE that essay! I bought it in Philadelphia! Just came across the book recently, too!

It seems to me that “Tyro”-mancy would make more sense predicting the future of tyrants…

i read fart proudly once. it was good.

I wonder if old Ben cut loose so much, that he felt the need to write a book on it?
