Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 14, 2021

You remember that old couple Steve Silver mentioned yesterday? The ones who had just recently celebrated their 50th Anniversary? Well, sadly, due to that kerfuffle on the porch swing, they decided to divorce. As they were getting ready for the final move, the husband asked his wife, “I need to know something. We have five children – all fine adults now – but Johnny has always been different. And I’ve always wondered, did Johnny have a different father from all our other children? Now that we’re parting ways, you can certainly tell me.”

“Well…yes. Yes, Johnny DID have a different father from the rest,” the wife replied.

“Please tell me,” asked the husband. “Whose child IS Johnny?”

Pausing just a moment, the wife answered, “Johnny is YOUR child.”

Bephen Sturgess One time I bought a painting for $97 and discovered it was worth $20,001.

Trurway Maina One time I was 101 years old.

May the Lord be with you.

July was hot throughout the entire world including the in the southern hemisphere where it’s winter in July?

$20,000? For that? My kid could draw that! (comment brought to you by Cliches Inc.)

Antarctica just had its coldest ever winter on record. How about Ripley’s print that as well.

There is about 12,000 years of recorded history in our earth’s lifetime of 4,540,000,000 years. Must be lots of temperature records around. I figure those Neanderthals had pretty sophisticated weather stations and recorded all that data in a cave somewhere…..

Jason, you missed one: August, 2022, was the coldest recorded month in history.

May divorce be with you!!

In Georgia, July was not as bad as in the last few years before. October is going to be probably the wettest.

More government crap to feed the fire of global warming!

Now a real problem is over population! Especially of left liberal socialist democRATIC population. Now there’s something we need to eliminate!

And he painted it while sipping fermented yam peelings, increasing his strength for lifting heavy objects on hot Summer days.

Take care, may unknown sailor Midshipman Jack “I Thought You Said They Didn’t Know Me” Pajamord be with you, and gesundheit.

The two senior members of O.F.W.T.J. have split on their topic today, so I can’t follow them both. Being a married guy I’ll follow that lead and throw in hearing impaired, a category in which I also find myself.

A man goes to the doctor, concerned about his wife’s hearing. The doctor says, “Stand behind her and say something and tell me how close you are when she hears you.” The man goes home, sees his wife in the kitchen, cutting carrots on the countertop. About 15 feet away he says, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Nothing. He gets halfway to her and repeats the same question. Nothing. Very concerned, he gets right behind her and asks again “What’s for dinner?” She turns around and says “For the THIRD time, beef stew!”

Fogwhistle, Out.

July was the hottest month thanks to global warming which a specific moronic past Pres claimed did not exist. Expect a lot of snow this winter.

Hottest month? In which part of the globe?

July was the hottest month ever recorded….that’s the key….recorded….what about 150 years ago when we weren’t keeping track and didn’t satellites, etc.???

The painting thing is interesting but you should watch Antique Roadshows and there are stories like that almost every episode!

So, how long before we see William Shatner is written up in Ripley’s as the oldest man to go into space?

\\//_

They it sound a long time with “recorded” history which only around a few thousand years. Accurate temperature records have only been available for less then 200.

Man, I’m old enough to remember when July 1995 was the hottest summer in recorded history. How times change….

Nobody’s asking the big question: Why is that painting so tilted?

2021 was the first time I read that the temp in Death Valley reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

My fear is that July 2021 might become the coolest for many years to come.

Key phrase… “In recorded human history”.

Compared to most of Earth’s history, current weather is unusually cold.

I wonder just where this hottest July was. Antarctica? I think it’s important to state that in the “fact”.

Wow! June the hottest month of recorded history. Alert the EPA. We are looking at global warming in Nano seconds. Considering the time we have been recording it. It’s like taking looking through an electron microscope, at a speck of your drive way & describing our entire universe!
