Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 09, 2023

When I lived in AZ, I had 2 tomato plants that produced so many tomatoes my neighbors got tired of my giving them away. Where I lived the ground was coliche mostly, what clay I did have to grow in was full of seashells. Happened once, never got a decent tomato after. I was able to plant them where that got a max of 2 hours direct sun

Is the Slovenian wine any good? They must be doing a lot of exporting if they can support that many wineries.

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

That snake looks like poop—at least it does here!

Bloomsburg, Columbia County bills itself as “the only town in Pennsylvania.” It’s the only municipality in PA that was incorporated as a town. All of the rest were incorporated as boroughs or cities. Unincorporated “towns” are part of townships, such as Hershey, which is part of Derry Twp., Dauphin County.

May the wine gourd be with you as it sure is with my knee, and gesundheit.

28.000 wineries or 28.000 registered wineries? I wonder if there’s a government subsidy to wineries and a lot of “nephews…” about 28.000 of them :D

I wonder how that Great Dane managed to feed all those puppies.

Anyone want to go on a wine tour of Slovenia with me?

Remind me not to book a river cruise in southeast Asia.

c’mon Slovenia…you can do better than that! ramp it up!

Why did it take 11 staff members, it looks like Cleo was doing all the work.

Goggle maps only shows 15 wineries. The rest must be coming out of bathtubs and kitchen sinks. There’s also 19 pizzerias, most of them in Ljubljana.

That tomato plant must have been exposed to high levels of radiation ala ’50 & ’60 sci-fi B movies.

I know why the tomato plant grew that tall too. He planted it on the shaded side of the house and it had to grow up for sunlight. My wife did the same thing at our house one year. We might have even beaten that record.

ecorin village in eniwa, japan has what it calls “the biggest tomato plant in the world.” pretty impressive, what seem like thousands of tomatoes growing on it…

The largest litter of puppies that I’ve ever heard was a Neapolitan Mastiff from somewhere in Europe (the UK I believe) who had given birth to a total of 24-puppies.
