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

Eh, they’re probably just afraid of bigger species of spiders that want to eat them. That wouldn’t be that weird.

One time I was 51.

A lot of them have a fear of us especially when we’re trying to kill them.

May the Lord be with you.

I don’t believe the arachnophobic arachnid tidbit.

To be fair, a spider is a much bigger threat to a spider than to a human.

Hmmm… I’ve heared that Tom Hanks likes to suddenly appear at weddings, but I’m surprised to see Gent do such a thing (did they have their wedding cake in a pic-a-nic basket?)

Just had a very quick look at that spidey (again a bit too realistic) but does it have 9 LEGS this time? (Or is it just carrying along the missing parts from the last exemplars?)

But did the bear kiss the bride and catch the bouquet? Enquiring minds want to know.

My Aunt Betty once drove her car into a driveway, and knocked over several tables set up with stuff for a yard sale. That’s at least as good a story as the bear crashing the wedding reception, so why hasn’t Ripley’s featured my Aunt Betty?!?

Spiders again. Well, there are plenty of spider jokes. Here’s one more.

A man is eating at a restaurant, when he notices there’s a spider in his soup. He calls over the waiter and complains.

“I’m deeply sorry, sir” the waiter replies “but the fly asked to take the day off”.

Until next time.

Yawn and ho hum

They seem to also be afraid of happy little lemons.

Take care, may ursine softball catcher Maybelle “I Only Drool When You Strike Out” Barrett be with you, and gesundheit.

The softball thing and picture reminded me; it looks like the person has a leg brace/repair, so many people had those 2 years ago, pre-pandemic. My sister had a shoulder brace and operation from playing. Has the pandemic reduce the health care expenses, I don’t think people have been playing that much for 2 years.

I think the Colorado Peaches should change it name to the Colorado Pits

There are hockey teams where everyone is over 70 and there maybe some where the minimum age is 80.

Can birds have a fear of heights? Excluding penguins.

Sounds like that bear had it goin’ on. The food was on the table and the decor was in the way.

Maybe next time don’t play Taylor Swift. She attracts bears.

That spider has 9 legs (or 7 legs and 2 pedipalps).

well, blame the idiot who gave the bear some tequila

And many humans have a fear of each other -so what does that prove?

wait, if a spider is arachnophobic isn’t that just racism?

Okay, just move along, nothing to see here. It’s all perfectly believable.

I can understand spiders being afraid of other spiders. They see with 8 eyes, so they see this other thing coming with 64 eyes.
