Loch Ness Monster Sightings Analyzed PLUS The Most Beautiful Thing In The World is YOU

0:03 Kalaroka Shock Media. Hi there, I'm shinning Mack with five good news stories. Good news if you are trying to spot the Lockness Monster. Researchers from Saint Andrew's University have used a database of NeSSI sightings to translate anecdotes about the Locknest monster they've converted into data. They are identifying patterns to see when NeSSI could probably, possibly, maybe perhaps appear. It seems that the Lockness Monster appears more during the summer, when weather conditions are classified as excellent. Most sightings take place during August around midday, when conditions are more likely to be bright and clear. Now, what's weird? Are there a fewer sightings of NeSSI during the winter in the evening and at lunchtime. I'll ask you it's the monster hiding out or just nobody's out looking for it because it's cold or darker, hungary, Who knows, I'm not a scientist.

1:03 Most sightings take place when conditions are calm and still, with no wind or very light winds. So again, fewer sightings when it's a horrible rainstorm and the wind is blowing. NeSSI doesn't want to get wet or something, or perhaps possibly maybe nobody's around that. Researchers also found that secondhand reports tended to be exaggerated. Hmmm. The exaggerators claim the monster is closer and larger, They're not messing around. The analyzed fourteen hundred and thirty three Nessie encounters from eighteen fifty through today, including six hundred and forty one first hand reports. When you do see NeSSI, how long is it for? It is quote surprisingly long, like four and a half minutes. The study was published in the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education. So I don't want you making fun of this on your podcast, right This is a very very serious study. Doctor Charles Paxton says, we cannot reach conclusions about locknest monsters from these collected accounts, but we can drawing insights about the wider population of locknest monster reports. Good point, Dr Paxton. Nice job by Mike.

2:07 He's in Eveston, Illinois, just north of Chicago. He's been accepting used bicycles in various conditions for repairs. Using spare parts, he fixes them up and donates them to many Eveston families and refugees who arrived in the Chicago region from around the world recently. He donated what he thought was bike number four hundred and one. He's part of Refugee Community Connection and they coordinate a bike brigade. The bike brigade is three mechanics, including Mike, who make bicycles available for immigrants who need them. Mike explained, I want to do something that's positives. I reached out joined the group and then they wanted to lead for a famili so I was like, oh, I could try to help with that. A friend who worked at the local high school said she had two students who walked all the way from South Evanston. They were always late, they had bike problems.

2:50 Mike said, I got both bikes running. I dropped them off the high school and at three thirty five when the bell rang, the kids came out and they got on these bikes and they were hooting and hollering, riding down Dodge. This next door is pretty amazing. Some children born with a type of blindness can now see following a groundbreaking gene therapy treatment. A one hour procedure involves injecting healthy copies of the affected aipl one gene into the back of an eye to quote kickstart sensitivity. Four years after the treatment. All eleven children involved in the trial, who previously could barely tell the difference between light and dark, reported being able to see shapes, find their toys, and recognize faces. That's pretty awesome. The Charlotte Observer tells us about a couple who went into a shelter to adopt a dog and wound adopting three. Samantha works at the Jacksonville Humane Society. She told McClatchy news it was an incredible thing to watch a family come in, meet one dog and fall in love with two others two. We're so grateful to folks like this and their family who opened their hearts and homes to homeless pets, especially those who are older and have some health concerns. One of the dog, Niccolo, had lost his home after the previous family couldn't provide adequate medical care. He didn't have most of his teeth, He was in rough shape twelve years old, as fur was matted, his tongue always stuck out to one side. The shelter said, despite his age, Piccolo has an adventurous personality and loves going on long walks, playing and making new human friends. One day, a lovely couple visited JHS looking to adopt a small dog. Little did they know they would leave with three piccolo, nine year old Max and fifteen year old Victor. Boy. Not only

4:20 adoption and all my dogs have been sheltered dogs, but adopting a senior dog. Boy, You guys are awesome people. A Facebook user posted, I'm not crying, you're crying, and our final story today has the Internet divided. It seems an airplane pilot left a plane passenger a note on a napkin. Steph was given a note which said I've seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful woman in it. She was sitting there waiting for a plane. The pilot placed it on the table in front of her and walked away. TikTok users, this whole thing's a TikTok which has my Spidey sense tingling. Yeah, influencer, interesting story here, but hey, it's a good story. I'll share it with you. User has noticed that the pilot left an illegible signature on the napkin. Steph. The TikToker said she didn't see the pilot's face during the brief interaction.
