Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 01, 2014

So was human fat acting as a lubricant or something for arthritis? As for the telephone, that REALLY burned holes in your pockets (of course it still does).

“Please deposit your arm and your leg for the next three minutes.”

right, so a $6.50 loaf of bread cost $0.0046 cents in 1927?

I don’t think I’ll complain about my Verizon bill again(till next month)

Fat as lubricant?..Why not..I heard that they used Sperm Whale ambergise and Quail vomit as perfume?

Oh, FAT !! i thought it was F**T

The first transatlantic phone service was by erratic short-wave radio (no privacy) The first transatlantic cables (apx 1870) were capable only of very slow telegraph.Short-wave radio was the only option until 1956 when a cable capable of voice was laid. It was to be used until satellites could fill the gap. (Last I heard, the cable is still in use after several repairs)See “Voice Across the Sea” Arthur C Clark

The telephone has been around since the 1870s, or so!!!

Bo Jackson played both MLB (Royals) and NFL (Raiders).

If you think their prices were outrageous then you should see them (points to dollar store)

If fat were a cure for arthritis, I’d be dancing through the day!

Philly Pride !
