Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 02, 2023

One time I was four weeks old altogether?

Ripley’s left out one detail and didn’t say which insect species lives on Antarctica. Up until now, I thought penguins were the only wildlife living there.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

So why would Saint Louis rename that restaurant just for their locality?

The Antarctic midge.

There probably are 700 people related to a Prince. There are still several princes in the world.

One prince, Harry, has too many stories related to him. Spare me no more!

Please no movies set in Antarctica named Happy Bugs!

I believe Prince’s creed was Spreading The Seed.

Hello again. In keeping with Super Bowl week, here’s another football joke.

This huge freshman was feeling pretty jacked and decided to try out for the football team. “Can you tackle?” asked the coach. “Watch this,” said the freshman, who proceeded to run smack into a telephone pole, shattering it to splinters. “Wow,” said the coach. “I’m impressed. Can you run?” “Of course I can run,” said the freshman. He was off like a shot, and, in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash. “Great!” enthused the coach. “Can you pass a football?” The freshman hesitated for a few seconds. “Well, Sir,” he said, “if I can swallow it, I can probably pass it.”

My second cousin, thrice removed, Prince, is dead?!?!? What?!?

The Antarctican Aunt is native to Schenectady. Most people don’t know that. Once she got past Buffalo she headed due south and the rest is history.

Take care, may famed camel furrier Prince “Just What Is A ‘Camel Furrier’ Anyway Hell I Don’t Know I Just Switched To Pall Mall” Azizord be with you, and gesundheit.

Strange, when money is involved, how many “relatives” show up. I just read the Priscilla Presley is contesting Lisa Marie’s supposed will. Lisa Marie’s daughter is declared executor and Priscilla doesn’t like that. Says she should be. The thing is when Lisa made the will, I doubt she expected to die young and have her mother survive her, so the daughter was the reasonable choice. But I guess Priscilla wants control of Elvis’s mansion.

Uncle Prince is dead???? I never heard……

well, why didn’t you tell us the insect??? Belgica antarctica, the Antarctic midge

With James Brown it was probably 1,700.

Prince died without a will,hence the number of claimants.All thoseyears of hip-swiveling got him secretly hooked on high grade painkillers and he died from an “accidental” overdose

Panera can call itself whatever it wants – I’ll never eat there (again). Why? Do the math – literally: A drink, 1/2 sandwich, and cup of soup will run you the same as a full dinner elsewhere – about $20.

I live near St. Louis and Panera started out as St. Louis Bread Company. Then they realized that it didn’t mean much to people more than a few hours away so the name got changed. I can travel about 1.5 – 2 hours away, where St. Louis is still the biggest close city and those units are now called Panera. But in my town across the river from St. Louis, our’s is still called St. Louis Bread. Informally knows to some as “Bread Co”

concerning Prince’s relatives… how many were sired by him?

I guess Paranoid Bread didn’t go over well in Saint Louis…

If there is just one insect species native to Antarctica, what do they eat? Ice?

Virginia had weird rules. You could not sell beer named after a living person. Billy beer could not be sold there. No real loss. Also, could not have booze name in the name of a restaurant. Steak & Ale was named “Jolly OX”. I think that was it; been gone for years.

When someone wins hundreds of millions of dollars in a lottery, how many relative come forward?

@Pickled Pete I can only see you on your profile page.

I used to go to Panera Bread for their really good black bean soup. The last time couple of times I went it wasn’t that good (guess they found a cheaper supplier) , and their other entrees had no special appeal for me. Haven’t been back in years.

If you can see this Tuco,

Dem last 2 post, Dem was some good ones Boo

I have in-laws with the last name Prince. Does that count?

Pretty tough to chase down your family tree when you don’t have a last name….

Wait, my cousin Prince died?

I’m heartbroken. I wonder if there was anything in his will about me.

Any couple of millions left?

“Panera” is a deadly insult in the local St. Louis dialect.
