Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 13, 2021

One time I was 1,641 feet tall.

One time I was stretched between three buildings and was 11.6 feet above the ground.

May the Lord be with you.

Today is quite a watery set of facts

There’s no need to map the sea floor—I ain’t going down there. (jk, they can do that)

wow, three water-related tidbits

The “Sky Pool” is 115 feet (35m) above the ground, is 82 feet (25m) in length and 10 feet (3m) deep!! It is located at Embassy Gardens Apartments and ONLY accessible to the EG:le Club residents at that complex!! It opened in MAY 2021…

(O _ O)

Given how slowly most species of coral grow, I have to wonder how long that tower has been there, and why nobody had ever noticed it before?

If you’re not rich, you can’t swim in that fancy pool.

So… just WHERE is this water that’s on the moon? It’s clearly not pooled up on the surface that faces Earth.

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s water and connected buildings and coral reefs and stuff!

Take care, may famed trivia collector Robert “He’s a Colossal Bore Don’t Invite Him” Riplord be with you, and gesundheit.

That is NOT a pool to go skinny dipping in.

New bucket list item: “Skinny dip in the sky pool in London…”

There’s not enough money in Chase Bank that would get me in that pool.

Little known fact: The Sky Pool is made of coral and was placed where it is so it would fill from water that fell from the moon.

Funny thing is, the water is kinda green and smells like sewage.

Does the sky pool have a transparent bottom?

With corals only the top section is living, the bottom 2/3 is usually dead and hardened calcite

Not on the Moon, IN the Moon.

The water on the moon is frozen in ice in the polar craters, anywhere sunlight would hit it it would be vaporized away.

Talk about a high dive…

This new artwork is difficult to view

There was a scene in a movie where an assassin drilled a hole in the bottom of one of those when a rich man went swimming…

Sky pool between only two buildings? It’s to laugh:

What a strange illustration: The water is IN a translucent moon and pouring out, presumably onto the Earth, dooming us all.

I remember an old Superman comic in which he’s trying to send Mxyzptlk back to the 5th Dimension but Mxyzptlk is staying underwater or anyplace where he can’t speak so he can’t say his name backwards. Finally, Superman lures Mxyzptlk to the moon, finds a water patch (or whatever the proper term is) and does a Super-Slap to temporarily create oxygen. Mxyzptlk has been mocking Superman by repeatedly saying his name backwards, knowing he can’t be heard, but winds up in Superman’s oxygen patch before he realizes it. And the word is suddenly audible. Gotcha!

Hot News: The 2024 Summer Olympic swimming events will take place on the moon. All records are expected to be broken.

A good freezing cold snap and there you are, trapped like a fly in amber…

Water on the moon? With all of that dust? I think not.
