Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 24, 2023

Frelvis Ancois One time I was 25 days old. ELVIS WAS EATING KETCHUP, GARLIC POWDER, AND SEASONING CUBE! WHEN’S HE GONNA DO HIS NEXT CONCERT?

One time I was four years old.

We get three aquatic facts.

The North American beaver, the second largest living rodent, can weigh up to 110 pounds.

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

If they pay me $100,000 I might consider the deal.

My sea cruises only lasted a week, and that was more than enough.

Three years on a floating Petri dish? No thanks

Join the navy and get paid for it.

I can detect electric fields too…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzt

I’d love to try that sea voyage.

At about $91 a night and all the amenities of maid service, meals, entertainment, casino, etc.; it would make a cheaper retirement home for seniors.

Believe it or not,when sharks come close to you they’re only trying to borrow some money to pay off the (loan)sharks

I consider myself a traveler. I’ve been around a few continents.I would NEVER go on a cruise, packed with people I have nothing in common and probably despise, forced on a ship that I have no control over (I did sail a few nations with friends and I loved it), a ship that looks like a giant mall/casino… sounds like worse than hell to me. I can’t comprehend why people pay for that.

While the lowest price for a single for three years is about $100K, the actual total cost is over $168,000 (which must include all the fees). For a double, the total cost is about $200K. https://www.lifeatseacruises.com/pricing-and-cabins

I think I once read that living on a cruise ship was cheaper than living in a nursing home – best part, if you die, they just toss you overboard.

Well, that Dominican guy was obviously safe if his boat had drifted too close to Transylvania (but I’m thinking it is land-locked?)

When the shark caught up with Elvis Francois, he found him to be a little on the spicy side, but otherwise, delicious.

Problem with cruises is the scenery never changes. Much

Elvis is a well seasoned sailor.

Oh, like I can’t feel electrical fields. My fingers and toes tingle, my hair stands on end, and my body vibrates. I suggest avoiding electrical fields.

Which reminds me I have to check the survival packs in the cars this weekend.

Elvis is everywhere!

How can you drift for 24 days in the Caribbeans without seeing another boat or island?

Since Elvis’ boat was left adrift when he was rescued, the Heinz Company is going to give him a new boat, believe it or not.

Honestly, assuming that includes food & utilities, that’s actually a pretty good deal. Under $2800/month? I’ve seen pricier apartments without utilities, much less food.

I heard a hammerhead shark’s electroreception is so powerful it would be able to detect a AA battery dropped in the water from a quarter mile away.

Elvis rode on Disney’s Condiment Cruise.

I know Elvis could survive on these kinds of food, I was more concerned about what he DRANK. I don’t think people last long without some source of fresh water.
