0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. By there, I'm shohnny mag with five good news stories. Good news for an elephant calf. The elephant calf had fallen down a well in an Indian village. The calf was rescued by a team of emergency responders. They had to demolish a wall of the well so a path could be created for the calf to exit. The hole. Took about an hour, and the baby elephant in the end joined us hurt nearby. That's great. Deb explains why poetry is in motion. She has opened a branch of the poetry pharmacy. The poetry Pharmacy answers the question what's the cure for a broken heart? What about grief, anxiety, loneliness? For those visiting the Poetry Pharmacy, you'll find it out on Oxford Street in London. They offer tonics to those sorts of emotional ailments. Deb explains that weddings and funerals, it's a poem that's read. It's the art that Bill in states of heightened emotion turned to the centerpiece of the poetry Pharmacy is a rich mahogany cabineting. Small glass bottles labeled with various emotions such as love, invigoration, pride, others a little more whimsical their appeals for dithering and for existential angst. There's a glass flask set high up that says serenity, keep out of reach of children. Mittens, the cat, is quite the frequent flyer. Her cage was overlooked in a plane cargo hold. She made three trips in twenty four hours between New Zealand and Australia. Mittens is eight years old, was booked for one way. Her human Margo said, she waited for Mittens to be unloaded from the plane's freight area three hours past no cat.

1:35 Then the staffs hold Margo that the plane had returned to New Zealand with Mitton still on board. The return trip is seven and a half hours in the air. She said, how can this happen? That's a question I would have too. Sounds like she's a lot calmer than I would have been. Luckily, the pet moving company they'd use met Mittens in New Zealand ensure that she was back on the plane for another trip to Melbourne. Margo said, Mitten's basically ran into my arms and snuggled up in here and just did the biggest cuddles of alts Air New Zealand spokesperson said they'll reimburse all costs associated with Mitten's travel and we will work closely with our ground handler in Melbourne to ensure this does not happen again. I hope not. Johnny Mack, he got a Guinness record for a sure. A fifty nine year old German Man was attempting to break the Guinness World Record for longest time spent living in an underwater fixed habitat. The last update I have for you is that he was more than sixty days into the attempt. He says what he misses most is a shower. His living space is about three hundred and twenty two square feet. He has a toilet at TV, a computer bed, a stationary bike, satellite Internet, and multiple fans. He says it's not particularly hard. I don't feel like I'm suffering down here at all. The hardest point is sometimes I want to go diving. A man found something on Google Earth and wants to go find it. Josh explains, while scrolling through Google Earth, I stumbled across what looked like a massive shipwreck tuck way in a secluded cove along England's coastline. Naturally, I could resist the urge to go check it out myself. The

3:06 height to the wreck was breathtaking, the rugged coastal cliffs, waves crashing below. He then embarked on a breath taking cliff edge walk. He warned, don't let its beauty fool you. This coastline is deadly. There were over one hundred and thirty registered shipwrecks here. He continued. In the hidden cove, he found the shipwreck and said, it looks absolutely massive. It looks like part of the ship is broken off. He climbed on the deck. He found a door surrounded by rusting ladders and windows. He went inside, found some deserted rooms and said, this is a crazy place. But it left me wondering why did this massive shipwreck here. Local residents were surprised by this. One said I leave in Cornwell. I had no clue that was there. Another said, I remember seeing that shipwreck years ago. It was in a much better state. Sad how time erodes these things.

3:48 It's possible it was the RM mes Meuheim, a German cargo ship that ran aground in two thousand and three. The story goes that the chief officer on watch had caught his trousers in his chair, fell over and passed out. By the time he regained consciousness, there was nothing you could do to stop the ship from hitting the rocks. I'm not sure that was good news, John No, but it was definitely interesting. Anyway. Those are your four good news stories and a shipwreck for today. If you tay the program, tell a friend about it, they might like it too. And if you would like the program without commercials, listen. I get it, I get it. But those have been explaining to you. Have you seen my heating bill? So one way you can support the show.
