Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 27, 2021

Sawika Kingson One time I found three undetonated bombs from a failed attempt to divert a volcano’s lava flow.

One time I found a painting in a trash pile that turned out to be worth $1 million and a penny.

May the Lord be with you.

Owls also have asymmetric ears, one higher than the other, in order to give them a better sense of the location of sounds.

who would leave a one million dollar painting in the garbage? the original artist who didn’t receive a good enough critique>

Owl just say that’s amazing!

Well, if it’s modern art, it’s still trash.

I knew owls couldn’t move their eyes independent of their head, but I didn’t know they were tubes.

Several years ago it was claimed that an owl’s vision was so good that they could read a newspaper headline a mile away. One old fellow said, “I wonder where they found and owl that could read.”

Is it any wonder Mr. Owl took only three licks of a Tootsie Pop?

Proven Fact Sawika Kingson did, https://www.livescience.com/mauna-loa-bomb-found.html May The Force be with you ….

I bought a painting that I fell in love with at an antique show for $8. I took it to the Antiques Roadshow ( no kidding!) to get it appraised. They valued it at $100. When I told some people this and they were like “That’s all?!” I told them hey, that’s more than 10 times what I paid for it.

So, so stupid

A proposal for Buddy, Steve and Eromlig: Steve can make a comment “Steve’s Jokes” and Ero, " eromlig’s stories," save, then put the details into a reply. Therefore, anyone who wants the details can read the reply, others can quickly scroll past. If you look at the comics on a phone, the long unwelcome comments do take up a lot of time to scroll past, or a person with a screen reader may not enjoy the same humour but are subject to listen to the unwanted content.

The un-detonated bomb story is absolutely unremarkable. So what?!? It’s not as if, “OMG! No one knew bomb technology existed as far back as 1935!!!”

And now, here’s another “Believe It Or Not” type bit of information applied to an old axiom-“The journey of a parsec begins with one angstrom…” One parsec = 3.086e-10^26 angstroms.

Even stranger she had only one giant tooth.

He’s Baaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccckkkkk!

Believe it!https://www.cbsnews.com/news/painting-found-in-nyc-trash-sells-for-1m/“An abstract masterpiece by a Mexican artist that was found in the trash by a woman who knew little about modern art has been sold for more than $1 million.

The painting “Tres Personajes” by Rufino Tamayo was discovered in 2003 by Elizabeth Gibson, who spotted it on her morning walk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. She said she took it home because “even though I didn’t understand it, I knew it had power.”"

I call that the luck of the draw!

Birds of prey are cool.

Is there a image of a tube on the painting? To continue the theme.

Trash in New York? Perish the thought.

Take care, may Decorated Sanitation Engineer Alphonso McKrushemupvord be with you, and gesundheit.

that explains why owls can’t rotate their eyes in their sockets, I always wondered that

Error: “$1 million dollars” is redundant.

Eye tubes? That’s a head-turner.

10 years later we had increased the reliability of our bombs.

One man’s trash is another woman’s fortune.

After attempting to get an extreme closeup, Kawika was spotted at 20,000 feet and holding on to her derriere…
