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

One time I was 2,301 years old.

May the Lord be with you.

I’d be scared like crazy if I saw a random walrus on my local beach.

Was Wally taken home?

Wally, the wayward walrus…

/SHMIRK/

And here I waste the chicken bones by throwing them away!

“Dismembered chicken bones”— Are there any other kind?

Archaeologists… It was a soup. The bones were pierced with nails because they were tied up to keep them in the pot while serving. The coin is a tip that fell in there by accident. The names are those of the kitchen crew. My story makes a lot more sense! Curses!.. And they get paid for that!!

Wally’s alarm clock froze, then Wally froze, then they both thawed, then Wally thaw a puddy tat. ~ Tweety Bird, still swingin’.

Take care, may ancient compost shoveler Daniel “Hip Boots” O’Lookyord be with you, and gesundheit.

Wally came for a beer, but he stayed for the dancing.

I’d say that curse worked. Those 30 people are all dead and stiff as a board.

Either that or the curse pot was the left over from somebodies picnic.

The pot was a trash can; but the archaeologists were coming up on a grant review so they tried their best to make every finding spectacular.

Rip Van Wally.

I guess the 30 people are now dead, so the curse was successful

That “curse” pot…WOW! SOMEBODY had bad feelings against those 30 people!

I’ve seen curse jars, but never a curse pot.

Boy, that stinky plant story leaves many details unexplained. Curious minds want details of how flies pollinate the damn thing; why would the smell of rotting insects be more attractive than rotting vertebrates (I seem to see one hecka lot of flies on dead animals); wouldn’t dead flies provide protein (they do on Venus Fly Traps); lastly, why do I care?

I wonder if they flew Wally home or is he now sitting in an Irish zoo?

I don’t think Wally is going to find a north bound iceberg, so he’s in for a long swim home.

I can think of a few names to retry that jug experiment! About 10 names should do it!

Wally probably slept off a heavy tv/beer hangover and found himself on a beach full of like minded leprechauns.

Flowers like that make the perfect gift for a divorce settlement.

Wonder what else that pot was used for.

Wait, Ireland? This is IRELAND??? I was aiming for Iceland.

That’s gotta be the plant equivalent of the MAFIA. pay them your protection money in exchange for your freedom.

“Dismembered chicken bones”—-Is there any other way to get chicken bones without dismembering the chicken? Or maybe I’m wrong and the bones are what are dismembered. Never saw a dismembered bone before. I learn something new every day.

I think the “Cursed Pot” did it’s job. All those people are dead.

Now I feel better about sleeping past my bus stop…

i mimic the odor of rotting insects too!!

researchers – always researchers. not know-it-all but definitely guess-it-all – didn’t archeologists make up the ‘link’ between monkeys and Homosapien from a tooth found in the ground? just asking

plants is plants, sautee them in butter and garlic and you won’t mind the stench

if a walrus falls asleep and floats south on an iceberg does he become a penguin?(let me see, 2500 miles at 45 mph – kinda a long slumber) I would guess Wally was shanghaied and thrown off because he ate too much – makes some sense too) 2 maybes and 1 pu
