0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A samaritan found a lost wallet and then went viral for devising a full proof formula to prevent the wallet from falling into the wrong hands. In a Reddit post, the samaritans said, I left a note in a way so only the real owner could contact me. The screenshot showed a found black wallet, but instead of writing out the phone number where evildoers could intercept the wallet, the samaritan put in a verification equation that only the wallet's rifle owner could solve. The person was required to input their birthday and then if you added your birthday to zero three zero five three two four six eight, that would give them the Samaritan's phone number, and then you could call the Samaritan, verify your identity and retrieve your wallet. However, nobody retrieved it. Good story anyway, Hey.

1:00 Our Olympic gold medalist became the first blind woman to swim across the English Channel. Melanie is forty nine. She swam the Channel from Shakespeare Beach in Dover to a beach in France in twelve hours, twenty minutes, faster than he expected. Fourteen hours. She described it as a dream come true. My life has been filled with challenges because of my blindness, and it often led me to feel isolated and unsure of myself. She won two gold medals, two silvers and a bronze at the ninety six Atlanta in two thousand Sydney Paralympics and said she never thought it'd be possible to achieve something like this. She first began swimming with the British Blind Sport Charity and said they helped me teach me to swim straight and had to not bump my head into the pool ends. I struggled to fit in at school because of my blindness, so I often turn to the pools and escape, she says, Sadly, my guide dog doesn't swim. Good news if you've been looking for the Plains Wanderer. It's been spotted in West Melbourne, Australia for the first time since nineteen eighty nine. A Zoo based conservation organization installed audio recorders throughout the wilds of Australia and AI power tool pinpointed the plane's wand or by identifying its soft, low ooming call at two sites in Western Melbourne. Scientists are excited because the plane's wander is a flagship species playing a crucial role in insect control and seed dispersal. In Pennsylvania, they painted curved road lines down a residential street. This is trying to do some traffic calming. Officials hope it will rain in reckless driving. People were upset that folks were zooming down Gray's Lane. Locals aren't happy. One local said driving down the road felt like a roller coaster. William told the News,

2:32 I think speed bumps would have gone a lot further as far as slowing people down this road in particular. Many residents said they're just ignoring the lions and driving down the road like they always have. Others joked that the crew must have been drunk when painting the lines. Know the local said, if you follow the lines, so police will probably think you were drinking and driving and pull you over. A woman obsessed with oysters ordered eighty oysters for her lunch. She found out about a place called the Wright Brothers in South kens. She discovered that between Monday and Friday, you can get oysters for one pounds each. In the video, she tells the waiter, I think I'm ready to order can I get eighty oysters? Please? The waiter says eighty oysters. The woman says, yes, eighty please.

3:15 With sabasco and lemon slices in hand, she got to work on eating the eighty oysters. She described the seafood as amazing and finished them all. She even told the waiter I could have eaten more if I hadn't had breakfast. The waiter said it was impressive. A restaurant owner commented on all this and said, I would decline they're losing money unless you're buying wine. A restaurant worker said, I once worked at an oyster bar and we had to shuck the oysters ourselves. If you would ordered this from me, I'd have cried and or walked out. And those are your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
