00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey, why
was our flight delayed? Oh? Someone
2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:16.839
brought a sugar glider and it escaped
High Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:22.519
In Eastern Airlines's flight from Shanghai to
Janana, China was delayed after a
4
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.640
sugar glider that had been smuggled onto
the flight escaped. If you haven't seen
5
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.480
a sugar glider, picture a flying
squirrel. Police rode on social media.
6
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.719
The animal's owner violated the regulations and
took a pet sugar glider on board the
7
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.920
plane. The sugar glider was eventually
captured and removed from the plane. Fellow
8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.079
passenger Sam Jackson said, I have
had it with these sugar gliders on these
9
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.759
planes. A British mechanic broke a
Guinness world record, but a lot of
10
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.240
these records lately. This one motorized
wheelbarrow. He took it up to a
11
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.960
speed of fifty two point five eight
miles per hour. Dylan told Guinness that
12
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.520
he built his super speedy Gordon tool
for fun before we realized there was a
13
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.920
world record category for wheelbarrow speed.
He told the BBC. I ended up
14
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.920
building the wheelbarrow for fun and the
little practice run messing around. I got
15
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.879
it around thirty seven miles per hour, and then the question got asked if
16
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.599
there was a land speed record for
it. So it was just a case
17
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.840
of finding out that the record existed
and then deciding to actually do something with
18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.439
this idiotic thing that had built.
He said. Taking the wheelbarrow up to
19
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.079
high speeds is both uncomfortable and terrifying. Slowing down is the issue. It's
20
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.319
only got breaks at the front.
It does leave you aching after a couple
21
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.519
of runs because it's got no suspension, and it just rattles you to bits.
22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.480
I feel on top of the world. I mean, it's absolute nonsense,
23
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.799
but it's quite a nice feeling.
Sciences has getting it done. Researchers
24
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:45.319
recently discovered that statins, which are
medications used to lower cholesterol, can also
25
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.680
suppress chronic inflammation, which is a
major cause of cancer. Going to get
26
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.640
a little detailed here, a team
from the Massachusetts General Cancer Center found that
27
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.840
the statin pete of vastatin you can
check my pronunciation on that one, blocks
28
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.680
the activation of TBK one dash IRF
three, suppressing IL thirty three. I
29
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.840
don't know what it means either,
but it sounds promising and mice testing.
30
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.039
The drug repressed inflammation of the skin
and pancreas caused by environmental factors and averted
31
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.840
the development of inflammation related pancreatic cancers. Over the years, these Simpsons have
32
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:22.840
predicted a lot of things. Perhaps
they are time travelers. An image on
33
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.560
the lid of an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus. Where's this going? John Well?
34
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.400
On the lid of the sarcophagus A
drawing of a figure that looks a lot
35
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:37.360
like March Simpson. The coffin was
unearthed in an Egyptian cemetery. It depicts
36
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.120
a yellow colored woman on the lid, dressed in green clothing wearing a blue
37
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.919
crown similar to March's tall hairstyle.
I've seen this picture. It looks like
38
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.479
March Simpson. The tomb dates back
to the New Kingdom twentieth dynasty circa eleven
39
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.960
eighty six to ten sixty nine BCE. A history buff explained on Reddit.
40
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.479
This is the goddess nuts or Newts
and ut. I've seen the other pieces
41
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.599
belonging to this grave. I think
the parents may just not have had a
42
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.520
lot of money, so they did
the best they could afford her shroud is
43
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.280
a lot better looking, still in
that same walky style, but so much
44
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.879
more attension. Love's been put into
it. Kind of hits me in the
45
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.400
heart every time I see it.
One red hitter said, so the Egyptians
46
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:23.960
predicted the Simpsons plot twist. Congratulations
to the world's shortest married couple. Know
47
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.719
not so that they've been married,
you know, not too long and got
48
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.919
divorced. No, they are just
not the tallest folks you've ever met.
49
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.639
Pallo and kat Usa from Brazil first
met online in two thousand and six.
50
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.319
They said, we may be short, but we have big hearts and lots
51
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.840
of love for each other as well
as everyone in our lives. Or life
52
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.479
isn't without its challenges. We're so
happy we can tackle these challenges together.
53
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.639
The couple measure a combined seventy one
point four to two inches. Pallo is
54
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.120
thirty five point five to four inches, Katusia is thirty five point eight eight
55
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.719
inches. Pallo said, I found
her very beautiful from the first moment I've
56
00:03:54.719 --> 00:04:00.039
saw her. However, she initially
blocked him on the messaging platform where I
57
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.759
first met. He had to work
to win her over. I don't know
58
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.560
how he got unblocked, they continued
to chat. They met in person in
59
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.759
two thousand and eight. They made
their relationship status official nine days later.
60
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.159
They were in a long distance relationship
for four years until she moved to Polo's
61
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.199
hometown in twenty twelve, and soon
they decided they wanted to be together forever.
62
