Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 19, 2021

Must’ve been quite a tasty kebob for that Scottish shar-pei.

Criminy, I wonder if that’s just one long orgasm?

The “powers that be” or whatever seem or seems to sure be extremely interested in these ugly things surviving from generation to generation. So I suppose stick insects are meant to replace us when we’re long gone, cool!

I remember the first time I saw wi-fi was a public demonstration of it in the Grand Foyer of the Kennedy Center in D.C. in the mid-to-late 90s. They had some computers set up in a display and you could connect to the internet. It was extremely slow. I had no inkling that some day we would come to rely on it so heavily every minute of the day.

How many people now associate Tesla with cars rather than communication?

Tantric sex…

Are the stick insects just shy of suspended animation (to greatly limit their metabolism for 79 DAYS)?

The Wi-Fi broadcasting statue of Tesla is a nice tribute, but why did they put a ball in his hand when it is well known that Tesla had a Trypophobia (a fear of spherical objects)?

The Tesla statue makes a great disguise.

Any idiot insurrectionist willing to do stupid things near 25,000 National Guard troops will find out that the time for mollycoddling has past.

my dog- Greg- once ate a plastic knife. serious. im not trying to be a jason snakelover. greg barfed up alot, and his barf was bloody. a few days later, we found a plastic knife in his poop.

If mating takes 79 days, wonder how long the gestation period is.

Nothing is going to happen. It is all just talk on the internet. All the expense for the security is just not necessary.

The embrace is substantially longer if, during the embrace, you happen to step on the couple.

The statue is only thought to radiate WI-FI.

Had they fed the dog haggis, which is not made on a skewer, it would not have happened.

I once had a 79 second mating embrace.

Take care, may Norwegian condom burner Johann Bjord be with you, and gesundheit.

And on the 80th day…they rested.

It would be a better tribute to Tesla if they’d put it in a WiFi dead zone/poor area!

Hoshi is not the brightest of dogs, is he?

Indian Stick Insects Motel, monthly and yearly rates available, we will let the light on for you…

The Tesla statue is in Palo Alto. Silicon Valley comprises the cities of San José, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Milpitas, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Menlo Park and Palo Alto. Since it’s not a geographic delineated space, many would say it includes the entire San Francisco Bay Area.

Well, the Indian Stick Insect did say she wanted to cuddle more…

79 days?? That’s a LONG time to “last” !!!

I can’t prove it, but I believe my first wife and I topped that record…

AAAAUUUGGH!!!! Why did that fact about the Shar-Pei have to be there?? Once I first heard that, I wouldn’t eat kebabs for days!

No wonder the stick insects are so skinny!
