Good News - Squirrels hate Irish Spring Soap

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Man with five good news stories, a lot of wallet stories lately. I've got another story of a stolen wallet. Some thieves used a stolen credit card to buy a lottery ticket. The lottery ticket won. Yeah, this isnt of France. Thieves used a stolen card to buy a winning French lottery ticket worth five hundred thousand euros. They disappeared before cashing in. The man whose card was stolen is offering to split the cash with the lucky winners, but he wants his wallet back too. However, the thieves faced the risk of arrest. Jean de vid discovered his backpack had been stolen from his car, including his credit cards other documents. He asked the bank to block the card. It had already been used in a local shop. At the shop, a vendor said two apparently homeless men had used the cards to buy the winning lottery ticket. The shop owner said they were so happy they forgot their cigarettes and their stuff and walked out like crazy people. Jean Devide filed a police complaint and said he's ready to withdraw it if the thieves come forward so they can share the money.

1:07 He explains without them, no one would have won. The ticket will eventually expire, so get moving, guys. We don't have the data yet on twenty twenty five, but twenty twenty four was a pretty calm year for shark bites worldwide. There were only forty seven unprovoked attacks, well below the ten year average of seventy shark attacks. The International Shark Attack File provides data on what are considered unprovoked bites to find as incidents in which a person doesn't initiate contact with a shark not included in the reporter instances when a person intentionally initiates contact with a shark, including spearfishing or releasing sharks from nets or hooks. Gavin is the director of the Florida Program for Shark Research and says, we're interested in this natural pattern of shark behavior so we can understand why people occasionally get bitten by these animals.

1:53 Any Q or attribute that modifies an animal's natural behavior is something that we as scientists want to exclude. Cadbury has a new giant chocolate bar and it's confusing people. They have an ad campaign made to share. Their ad campaign aims to celebrate everyday acts of kindness and connection, reinforcing the idea that small moments of generosity can bring people closer together. Each purple wrapped chocolate bar is cleverly divided into sections labeled with things such as who cleaned, who took the notes, and things like that some war slogans, who drove, who navigated, who slept, Who booked the flights, who booked the hotel, who gets to go on a holiday, who pays for the subscription? Who cooked? Who cleaned? Who ate? Who remembers everyone's birthday? Who signs the cards. Elise is a senior director at Cadbury and says these redesigned bars are a fun and thoughtful way to recognize and celebrate the everyday acts of generosity that make life a little sweeter.

2:42 That's fun. Gardeners are being urged to hang soap near bird feeders. Winter is a hard time for birds, so if you got the bird feeder up, you don't want those stupid squirrels eating all the seed. If you've got a bird feeder, you've seen this. I've got many pictures of ridiculous squirrels. Apparently, if you hang a bar of soap from the bird feeder, squirrels don't like it. Apparently, squirrels specifically hate Irish spring soap. Experts and Happy Gardens said, simply hang a bar of soap not too far from your bird feeder. Make sure to place the bar of soap in an old sock. You also want to reconsider this strategy during the summer, when temperatures can turn a bar of soap into a hot mess in just a few hours. If you can't hang the soap, experts say, rub it on areas where you've seen the squirrels climbing.

3:27 Another tip is melt down the soap, mix it with water and add it to a spray bottle. That way, the scent can be spread across the property, keeping the pesky squirrels away. No word yet for the International Association of Squirrels and how they feel about this. And those are your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
