Don't bring a rotten fish in your carry-on!
In Nashville, a man in a chicken suit appearing during snowfall has been a mystery for the past decade. In Australia, the world's oldest living wild platypus, at 23 years old, has been found. A British woman was reunited with her lost cat, Duke, after seven years, discovering it lived in a nearby factory. World War II veteran, Lance Corporal Harold Jones, 100, has walked over 650 miles around his garden to raise money for charity. University of Pittsburgh researchers have found a potential remedy for hearing loss caused by loud noise, by trapping excess zinc. Lastly, a Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit was infested with maggots due to a passenger's rotten fish in their carry-on bag.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.359
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories out
2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:16.719
of Nashville. A mystery. Every
time it snows, people are spotting a
3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.640
man dressed in a chicken suit.
He's been doing this for the last ten
4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.280
years or so. He shows up, takes a walk, and nobody knows
5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.600
who he is. Commenters on Reddit
call him the thunder snow Chicken. A
6
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.240
few years back in Nashville, artist
was making prints of the famous chicken.
7
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.479
Nashville is known for hot chicken,
but this guy's six feet tall and strolls
8
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.240
along. Resident Faith said, I
thought you were talking about a small chicken.
9
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.960
Scientists have found the world's oldest platypus, a twenty three year old platypus
10
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.119
found in a creek in Australia.
Scientists found the male platypus in an area
11
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.520
that had experienced nearly seven years of
drought. Jeff Williams is a biologist at
12
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.359
the austral Million Platypus a conservancy,
who said, we're now getting a better
13
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.400
idea of how they can live reasonable
ages if the conditions are right. So
14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:07.640
I was curious here, how do
you know how old he is? With
15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.239
the article tells it's the age of
an adult platypus is difficult to tell when
16
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.959
they're young, changes to their bodies
and more noticeable. Scientists knew the age
17
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.120
of this platypus because they had given
it a tag way back in two thousand,
18
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.159
when they determined it was about twelve
and a half months old. Wow,
19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.480
this is actually the oldest platypus in
the wild. The oldest known platypus
20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.599
recently turned thirty in a zoo in
rural Victoria. The platypus has been living
21
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.640
near a man made reservoir that's applied
water to a local community in a suburb
22
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.519
south of Melbourne, giving it a
refuge during those long dry spells. Good
23
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:45.599
job, platypus. A British woman
who's reunited with her lost cat after seven
24
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.319
years. The cat was found it'll
be living in a factory three hundred yards
25
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.359
from the house. Duke the cat
didn't come home one day in twenty seventeen,
26
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.280
Stephanie gave up after a few months. She was shocked when the vet
27
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.079
showed up at her door and said, Hey, did you ever own a
28
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.599
cat named Duke? The cat had
been found three hundred yards away in a
29
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.439
factory workers there had been giving Duke
some food shelter from the cold, and
30
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.560
they took the cat to the vet. There, the vet found the microchip,
31
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.000
but Stephanie's phone number was out of
date, so the vet drove to
32
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.919
the address and told her the good
news in person. A one hundred year
33
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.680
old World War II veteran has walked
hundreds of miles around his garden and raise
34
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:29.599
money for charity every day. Rain
or Shine Lands Corporal Harold Jones circles his
35
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.319
garden thirty times every day in a
matter of the weather, and has been
36
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.280
doing so since twenty twenty. So
far, he's taken his walker six hundred
37
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.719
and sixty one miles equating to forty
one thousand plus laps around his garden.
38
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:44.879
He served on the British Army from
nineteen forty two until forty seven. For
39
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.840
his fundraising, he said, it's
become a daily routine. I first set
40
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.159
out to try to get one thousand
pounds. I didn't know how people would
41
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.240
respond. When I reached ten thousand, a friend doubled it. It's the
42
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.360
walking that keeps me fit. I
previously broke my back in three places,
43
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.719
but my ankles, knee joints and
hips are perfect. I walk in the
44
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.400
morning after breakfast and whatever weather.
You have to have the determination to get
45
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.039
up and go. That is so
important. Nice job. Good news if
46
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.000
you're worried about your hearing. Scientists
have discovered a biological mechanism of hearing loss
47
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.280
caused by loud noise, which helped
them find a way to prevent it.
48
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.680
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have
discovered hearing loss stems from cellular damage in
49
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.960
the inner ear that's associated with the
excess of free floating zinc. Their experiments
50
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.080
show the drugs that work as molecular
sponges trapping excess zinc and help restore lost
51
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.919
hearing. That's awesome. They tested
this in some mice and they found that
52
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.599
hours after mice are exposed to loud
noise, their inner ear zinc level spikes,
53
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.319
which ultimately leads to cellular damage and
disrupts normal cell to cell communication.
54
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.759
However, mice that were treated with
a slow releasing compound that trapped excess free
55
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.919
zinc were less prone to hearing loss. And I'm not sure this is good
56
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:55.360
news, but it'll probably maybe possibly
make you laugh. Some passengers were on
57
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:01.680
a Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, suddenly maggots rained down. You didn't
58
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.680
think I was gonna say that.
Here's why. A passenger reportedly brought rotten
59
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.199
fish on the plane and a carry
on bag, as one does, and
60
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.199
placed it in an overhead bin.
The maggots broke free, were to old
61
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.120
and rained on master seated below.
One passenger said, I don't know what
62
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.120
was going through my mind. I
was trying to process it. Discussted is
63
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.319
one thing. Of course, we
had to wait there for help to actually
64
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.680
come. Flight attendants came and they
tracked the maggots to a bag in the
65
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:36.319
overhead In it fish wrapped in a
newspaper. Flight attendants took the fish away,
66
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.519
and the pilot said, we're going
back to Amsterdam. Delta has apologized
67
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.040
to the passengers, said the trip
was interrupted due to an improperly packed carry
68
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.879
on bag. One passenger tweeted,
really lovely to be two hours into an
69
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.920
eight hour flight to Amsterdam and find
out there's rotten fish and maggots hitching a
70
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.680
ride with us. The passenger said
they were allegedly giving eight thousand free air
71
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.120
mile, hotel, room camp and
a thirty dollars meal ticket, don't order
72
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.759
the fish. And that's your five
good news stories for today. If you
73
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.839
enjoyed the program, tell a friend
about it. They might like it too.
74
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.720
I like that last story. See
you next time. I have a
75
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:12.199
great day.

70
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.680
ride with us. The passenger said
they were allegedly giving eight thousand free air
71
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.120
mile, hotel, room camp and
a thirty dollars meal ticket, don't order
72
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.759
the fish. And that's your five
good news stories for today. If you
73
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.839
enjoyed the program, tell a friend
about it. They might like it too.
74
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.720
I like that last story. See
you next time. I have a
75
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:12.199
great day.
