Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 18, 2021

One time I was among 1,216 farmers who planted 5.2 acres of rice seedlings in 16 minutes and 19 seconds.

One time I sold a video game for $870,001.

May the Lord be with you.

The auction buyer of Zelda must still have a NES.

You could have done better than that! If you had put $1000. In Amazon stock or the S & P 500!

Those whales have never been to the El Segundo Sewer Treatment Facility.

Believe it or not. Yesterday, India achieved a record of over 2.5 crore vaccination doses in a single day. (2.5 crores is 25 millions).

Well, nobody timed the Zelda sale? Harrrumph.

Take care, may world renowned clock ignorer Sleepy John Esesord be with you, and gesundheit.

When he opened the box did he have to blow on the contacts to make it work?

Need better commas. It looks like One point Two One Five farmers.

At $10.00 an hour that would be $3,300.75 for the labor. At 50 cents an hour it’s only $165.

I doubt the whale was trying to establish a record. Probably just a leisurely dive that happened to be recorded.

I hope some of these old video games go to museums where kids can chuckle at their neanderthal attributes

Some day they’ll be planting Minute Rice…

I hope whoever bought the video game opened it up and played it to make sure it was genuine!

Was that 5.1 acres or 51 acres?

Of course, the density of rice plants will affect this statistic. I myself (and all alone) could do 5.1 acres in 16 1/3 minutes — at one plant per acre!

Who are these numnuts spending millions of $ at auction for these unopened video games? And why wasn’t I aware of this future phenomena back in the 80s??

I did some research on the beak whale, it has been report at 222 min that’s 3 hr 42 min.

A copy of “The Legend of Zelda”, sold for $870,000 !? Some people have more money then sense.

\\//_

Planting rice like that, makes my back hurt, just thinking about it.

Just his luck to find an unopened overlooked birthday present from 1987. Don’t open that! It’s gonna pay off the mortgage on this house, and all of the children’s college educations.
