"Believe It or Not"

When I was a child, my brother and I used to love paging through a fat book in our parents' bookcase called "Ripley's Believe It or Not."  We would marvel at people with stramgly distorted lips and ear lobes and be awed by amazing records that had been set and animal antics that were hard to believe.
Now I am engaged in my own real life Believe It or Not situation.  The leaves are falling off the locust tree outside my window and I can finally see that the white plastic grocery bag which I first spied last winter is still hanging on a branch of the tree.  Based on my personal observation, that bag has been snagged on the locust tree since at least last February.  Nine months and it's still hanging in there.  So now I really need to see how long it can last.  My real question is, if that bag is so tough how come a sharp box corner can split the one in which I'm carrying my groceries?
