0:03 Caloroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. If you've ever left something in an uber, You're not alone. They have released the tenth annual Lost and Found Index. Ay, look at the items passengers most frequently and most bizarrely leave behind. The most common things left behind, Yeah, phones, wallets, luggage, keys, headphones, clothing, passports, glasses, jewelry and laptops. Then some other things dentures with only two teeth, breast milk, human hair, and an ankle monitor, a sack of marbles and oxygen tank, and a group photograph of Donny Osmond. Other items left behind. A live fish, poor thing, I wonder what happened to it? A mannequin, two trees, a police radio, a kitchen faucet, a double door oven. You left that behind? A package containing live butterflies, what happened to those? A child's prosthetic eye, and a photograph featuring a rhinestone decorated image of Jesus. America's most forgetful cities New York City, followed by Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, La Washington, Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, and Newark, New Jersey. Where there's a big airport. Sundays are the most forgetful day of the week July seventeenth, the distinction of being the single most forgetful day of the year, so consider yourself warned.
1:24 Uber also highlighted some of these strangers items left behind over the past decade. Those included a lost lobster, divorce papers, the head of a salmon, a large painting of Cape Middleton, five hundred grams of caviare, a poodle like an actual pool, and a fake butt. Moving on, a movie about chasing your dreams has produced a real life version of its own story when a concertgoer was suddenly asked to join the professional orchestra. In front of twenty five hundred people, there was a live performance of the score from the movie Lalla Land at Sydney's Darling Harper Theater. That theater, Sterling was in the audience attending a show when there was a problem that stopped the show during intermission. The concert's pianist became too ill to continue. Backstage, organizers were scrambling to find a replacement. Finally, the conductor justin walked on to the stage and said, I figure nobody's as close as they are, so I just thought, we have twenty five hundred people in there. He asked if anyone in the audience was a trained pianist and an expert site reader capable of performing the rest of the concert.
2:27 Sterling raised his hand. He was asked several follow up questions to make sure he understood what was being asked, and then he joined them on stage. Now. At one point he said, oh, no, I saw a difficult synthesizer solo. I saw it on the score and I thought, I don't know if I going to be able to site read that one in one go. I took a little bit of creative liberty and just decided to improvise, which I think ended up being a good choice. That is a lot of fun. A routine underwater survey in Scandinavian waters has led to one of the most remarkable shipwreck discoveries in recent memory. The wreck was found by Norwegian watchmaker and underwater explorer Espen. Spen operates a small underwater survey company. He was doing his thing and scattered across the sand where hundreds of pieces of Chinese porcelain, many of them still intact after nearly three centuries underwater. Another vehicle were covered about forty artifacts from the wreck site.
3:19 The ship that they found measures about seventy two feet long. It sits upright roughly two thousand feet below the surface. Experts think it sank relatively quickly sometime around seventeen fifty, preserving both the vessel and its cargo. Some of the impressive stuff on the ship two distinct styles of Chinese porcelain. One features the familiar blue and white designs. The other is a Dhua porcelain, prized in Europe for its elegant, pure white appearance. Now residents in Scotland say they're being terrorized by a parakeet. Yes, the parakeet has been roaming around the area since February and is being blamed for thousands of dollars of damage to local cars. According to residents, the loose parakeet as develops a habit of pecking away a rubber window, seals and windshield wipers, leaving car owners frustrated and repair bills mounting. Kathleen lives around there and says parakeet is not a good word round here. This little chap causes havoc on the cars. I've never seen the bird. I've just seen the damage it causes. Chris Anne also lives in the area and said sometimes it leaves.
4:20 It can be away for a couple weeks and we think, oh good, we won't see it again. But then somebody will go out the next day and you'll hear a shout of he's back again. A spokesperson for Nature Scott said wildlife experts have put forward three main theories for this destructive behavior. One they're defending their territory against their own reflection. Two they crave certain fats or minerals in the rubber, or three they're simply exploring and playing out of boredom. In Lexington, an officer was dispatched after reports of a chicken wandering loose throughout the neighborhood. According to animal control officials, the chicken led everyone on a lively chase throughout the neighborhood before making an an unusual deed tour, the agency posted on social media. This adventurous little gal kept everyone on their toes, even taking a quick dip in a neighbor's pool, before finally deciding her wild night out was over and finding a safe landing with us at the shelter. Why the chicken went in the pool, don't know. Sounds like the setup to a joke. Officials are trying to figure out where the chicken came from, but they report that the chicken is safe and dry.
5:24 And those are five KAY News stories for today. Have an awesome day.
