0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A one hundred and four year old woman went to jail. Now, don't worry. It was her choice. She had this on her bucket list. Loretta told the staff at the Avon Nursing Home that she wanted to celebrate her one oh four with a visit to the Livingston County Jail. The Sheriff's office agreed and shared on Facebook before her tour, we celebrated with some coffee and cake, and she told the sheriff that the secrets of living a long time is to mind your business. Laretta said she had a great time touring the jail. Facility officials wrote, we're so glad that we were able to make her birthday, which has come true. Thank you for all the laughs today and for being a great sport. In Denmark, archaeologists or site they were doing an Iron Age excavation and they identified the first Roman imperial helmet ever found in Denmark, just the second in all of Scandinavia was found at losing Mark, a Danish Iron Age settlement that yielded dozens of artifact weapons. They found one hundred and nineteen lance and spearheads, eight swords, five knives, three arrowheads, an axe head, and a chain mail carase. A horace is an object of immense value at the time, which would have taken months to craft. There was also some non military equipment, including two oth rings, a bugle of swords, a horse bridle, and hundreds of flint and pottery fragments. X ray images on some plates of iron show that those plates of iron are from the parts of the helmet that would have been folded down over the cheeks and neck, one
1:33 of the only points where an enemy could strike to significantly wound Lesionary historians tell us the Romans had a sort of trade and invade policy with the Germans, but never ventured beyond into regions like Scandinavia, the Baltics or Poland. The Germans, however, would have been in touch with those folks, so that is perhaps how the helmet ended up so far from Rome. Some dead crocodiles, monkeys, tigers, zebras and other taxidermy animals are moving. Yes an arsenic exposure where's the closure of the South Dakota Museum where they had been displayed for decades. Testing showed potential hazardous levels of arsenic present in eighty percent of the specimens of the brock House collection. The Sioux Falls City Council voted to donate the amounts to several institutions. One hundred and seventeen specimens will go to the University of Notre Dame Museum of Biodiversity, thirty three to the Oddities Museum in Atlanta, and two to the Institute for Natural History Arts in New Jersey. The collection was started by Sue Falls businessman and hunter Henry Brockhouse. He built the displayed the animal collection for years in his hardware store until he died in nineteen seventy eight. Subsequent owners donated the collection of the city, which displayed the mat the museum for nearly forty years. A Michigan judge is making shoplifters wash cars. Yes, Jeffrey.
2:45 The judge hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge explains, I don't think anybody that steals as a bad person. Sometimes people are just down on their luck, but there's going to be consequences when you break the law. He has begun ordering Walmart wash sentences He believes seventy five to one hundred people will eventually be ordered to wash cars a weekend events. The judge said, Walmart is on board. It'll provide water and supplies. The judge ads, I think it'll be humiliating to be out there washing cars if you see somebody you know. But the judge leads from the front. He says, I'll be there washing cars with them. All right. The lawmakers are getting it done today. I like this story. A man was slapped with a two hundred dollars fine for using a speakerphone in a train station. Yes. Can we also go after the people that watch TikTok videos and doctors offices and airport lounges and everything else I want to yell about Here on Old Man Mountain, a man was on his cell phone speakerphone at a train station in a French city. The man, identified as David, was chatting with his sister on speakerphone. He was approached by it official from Francis State owned rail Company SNCF.
3:52 David thought the guy was kidding. The official handed him a fine. David wasn't happy about it and hired a lawyer to contest the fine, which was original one hundred and fifty four dollars, but since they didn't pay it right away, it was hiked to two hundred and seven dollars. Oh, those are five good news stories for today. If you join the program, tell a friend about that they might like a do see tomorrow.
