Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 09, 2025

Wicker seats must have been the lightest seats available.

I find the poop story unbelievable. Maybe in the woods but not in the comfort of my own bathroom.

There’s only 30 people on Foula, so they can do whatever they want.

Proof that God has a well developed sense of humor.

It’s all the ceremony and routine around those 20 seconds.

What does the Julian Calendar have to do with shifting the dates? As a programmer, I know the Julian day is simply 1-365.

NYC subways had wicker rattan seats.

So the Julian calendar runs later than the current one. Does that mean he’s not dead yet?

Takes me longer than 20 seconds…

Anyone who keeps company with dogs will tell you different….gotta sniff EVERYWHERE to find the most righteous spot and THEN lets nature take it’s course….

As a young person I never understood why people needed reading material in the bathroom. In and out. As an older person I now understand completely. New reading material almost daily.

Russians also celebrate those holidays on those days. Tradition

That’s because elephants and cats don’t know how to read

I can poop faster than I can walk, which is a real problem when I’m trying to get to the toilet.

The invention of the heated outhouse did indeed allow for the increase in time a human took to drop deuce.

I’m reminded of a joke I have conveyed on GC before:

Old guy #1 says “I got it bad, I wake up at 7 am and can’t pee until 8 am.”

Old guy #2 says “you think that’s bad, I wake up at 7 am and can’t poop until 8 am.”

Old guy #3 says “I got it the worse, I pee and poop like a racehorse every day at 7 am.”

The other two say “What’s bad about that?”

Old guy #3 says “I don’t wake up until 8 am!”

Wicker seats for less weight.

Depends on how old the pooper is.

If I bring my Kindle in there…

Flew from Ulan Baatar to South Gobi in essentially a canvas camp chair.

Well, I guess I am not a mammal then.

woo hoo Im above average!

I eat bran muffins to ease my needs.
