Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 20, 2020

It’s a bit misleading to compare the brain’s “storage space” to that of a computer. The brain is an analogue device, and the long-term “memory” of even a single synapse has a lot more nuance than a digital on-off switch.

One time my brain stored 2.6 petabytes or 2,500,001 gigabytes of data.

It’s just as well since I hate liver.

May the Lord be with you.

Oh, great—How many petabytes did I just use up for those useless facts??

Does this barrel make my butt look too big?

Polar bear liver may kill you, but you’ll die with great eye sight.

The person on the left is freaking me out. That’s not even an exposed brain, which would be bad enough, it’s a buncha scalp tumors!

Hi, cousin. Long time no see.

That guy on the left is from a Star Trek episode: http://www.treknews.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/star-trek-aliens1.jpg

Like anyone would actually eat polar bear liver? And my Centrum capsules contain Vitamin A, yet I’m still alive.

Seems to be a traditional unit among rappers…

Vegetable sources of vitamin A are not as harmful as animal sources.

Mr. Clean made his television commercial debut in 1958, initially portrayed in the live-action versions by character actor House Peters Jr.2 Within the first six months of the introduction, Mr. Clean became the best-selling household cleaner on the market.3

Entire Butt English Porter from Salopian Brewing Company is a pretty good representation of the style.

Was Mr. Clean’s reputation as a genie why his earring was accepted by the less politically correct Americans of the 50’s and 60’s?

Darn and I was so looking forward to some Polar Bear liver and onions ! ;o)

2,500,001? Wow! I got PLENTY of room left!!!

but he goes by nickname “Very”

My hard drive is doing OK, but I seem to have some defective RAM.

That’s a butt load of bytes!

Mr. Clean changed his name in Russia. There he is known as Mr. Proper

And the Kim Kardashian version is 2,797 gallons.

Take care, may the Vord be with you, and GESUNDHEIT.

2.6?! that’s a buttload!

Brain Storage: Believe it.

Mr. Clean: Or not!

Big Butt: Believe it.

Bear Liver hypervitaminosis A: Believe it.

May Harrison Ford be with you

Some call that science ‘fake news’ and then prove it.

Mr. Clean’s first name Veritably, originated from a ‘Give Mr. Clean a First Name’ promotion in 1962. 2nd place was a tie between ‘Deep’ and Sparkling’.

The traditional measure of a butt is ‘36’

“Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you.”

Robert House Peters Jr. (12 January 1916 – 1 October 2008) was an American character actor most noted for his roles in 1950s B movies and westerns. He is perhaps best remembered as the face and body of Mr. Clean in the Procter and Gamble cleaning product commercials from the late 1950s into the 1960s.

One of my elementary schoolteachers told us that about polar bear liver.

In fiction, Sherlock Holmes didn’t know that the Earth orbited the Sun and rotated on an axis. He believed the brain / memory had a limited capacity. Knowing whether the Sun went around the Earth, or the Earth rotated, and went around the Sun wasn’t useful knowledge in his work. He didn’t want to remember things that were not useful in his work.

In “A Walk in the Sun,” there’s a rude soldier who keeps snapping his fingers and calling out “A butt!” when he wants a cigarette. Previously I thought someone ought to moon him, but throwing a barrel at him would be even better.

my wife has a girl friend that apparently holds 252 gallons…

But, BOY is their eyesight great…

From Mrs. Claus: "Nu, first of the year you go on a diet !!

Happy (all 6) Holidays, Spacehoppers!!

I wish I had disk clean-up and defrag for all those useless things I remember!

126 gallons x 8lb per gallon = 1,008lb = one really big butt!

Paging Sir Mix-A-Lot! (LOL at all the “butt” comments above).

I used to hear the expression…I’ve got a BUTT LOAD of those. Now I know what they were talking about.
