Expect the Unexpected

A new edition of Ripley’s believe it or not has been published. This one is titled “Ripley’s Believe It or Not: Expect the Unexpected (Ripley’s Believe It Or Not)“This is the third volume in the series and features all-new examples of just how weird the world can be.

The large-format hardcover has hundreds of facts and photos about offbeat people, unusual animals, unfamiliar customs, bizarre happenings and fantastic feats — as well as some fantastic feet, including those of the Californian with size 29½ feet and the woman in China who functions normally although her feet face backward.

Here are more examples from the book that you are free to believe or — well, you know:

• A carbon-filament 4-watt light bulb has been burning in the Livermore, Calif., fire department since 1901, making it the world’s oldest-known working light bulb (and perhaps the only one with its own website: www.centennialbulb.org.)

• In 2005, a 25-year-old man from Calgary, Alberta, caught a boiled egg, thrown from 275 feet away, in his mouth.

• A letter mailed to a small town in Germany in 1718 was finally delivered — in 2004.

• A 26-year-old Croatian woman fell 40 feet from her apartment window in 2005 and survived after landing on her feet.

• The mouth of a hyena is so tough that the animal can chew a glass bottle without being cut.

• In 2005, a 100-year-old motorist in Belgium was given a discount on his auto insurance because he hadn’t had an accident in more than 80 years.

• And a slice of singer Justin Timberlake’s half-eaten French toast fetched $4,000 on eBay. But that included syrup and a fork.

Naughty Lola Weird personals

The London Review of Books published a compendium of the weirdest and funniest advertisements from the eccentric readers who write to it’s personal column in seek of love, sex, or friendship with like minded people. You know- serial embezzlers, beardy physicists known as Naughty Lola, or self-harming flautists.

The book is called “They call me Naughty Lola”, and it proves that the English are not all stiff-upper lip with this strange collection.

Here’s an example of what you might find in Naughty Lola:

“Woman, 32, needful of the finer things in life seeks stinking rich bloke, 80-100,” one ad says. “Must be willing to fibrillate his ventricles when he becomes tiresome or bankrupt or both. Also interesting thirtysomethings for illicit, immoral affair to be conducted concurrently with the above.”

Or maybe this guy’s more your style? “Bald, short, fat and ugly male, 53 seeks short-sighted woman with tremendous sexual appetite.”

The column began in 1988 and was meant to be a genuine lonely hearts column, however after his first submission arrived – “67-year-old disaffiliated flaneur picking my toothless way through the urban sprawl, self-destructive, sliding towards pathos, jacked up on Viagra and on the lookout for a contortionist who plays the trumpet.” David Rose, the columns creator, decided to create his column as a a notice board for the strange, hilarious and downright bizarre.

Surprisingly entries such as – “You were reading the BBC in-house magazine on the Jubilee Line (12 November). I was coughing hot tea through my nostrils. Surely you can’t have forgotten? Write now to smitten, weak-kneed, severely burnt, bumbling F (32, but normally I look younger). I’ll be quite a catch when my top lip has healed. And this brace isn’t forever.” have often resulted in marriages, children, at least one divorce and countless liaisons.
