Lost Loch Ness Camera Found! Did it spot Nessie?

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. I am in a good mood behind the scenes here. I tend to jump in the studio and record like two weeks of these while I'm in the zone. I've got all the stories written, and I'm in you know, the equipment setup, and I've got my voice working and everything. And just having recorded a bunch of these, they're just happy stories, and you know, thanks for listening. It's a fun show to do. Good news. For a pet bird, a python was trying to eat it. A professional snake catcher was called out. The python had squeezed its head into the bird's cage. Stuart posted a video to social media showing the scene. Stuart works for Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers twenty four to seven and explains, thankfully we got here in time. When I arrived here, just then the bird and the snake were literally touching noses in between the bars of the cage. Unfortunately, many bird and other small animal cagors are still sold regardless of whether there's snakeproof or not. In our industry, it's hard seeing so many families lose their pets because of this, He adds, you can't blame the snake for seeing the bird as a meal. It can't differentiate wild birds to bet birds. It's simply trying to feed itself. We're just lucky for the bird's sake. We came quickly enough. The snake was relocated into a wilderness area to find its next meal wild birds. You're on your own, ah, Johnny Mack, you probably have a world record for us. I sure do.

1:28 An Egyptian free diver plunged into the Red Sea to break the record for most pull ups under open water with one breath. That's right. Romy swam twenty nine feet six inches straight down and there was a pull up bar there, as there tends to be, he told Guinness. A lot of people think it's easy because you're pulling yourself up underwater. The boyantcy will help you, which is true. But the challenge was actually pushing back down. That was really the challenge, because I'm resisting the water and I'm doing this on a single breath at a depth of nine meters. He did thirty three pull ups, then he had a come up Ferrari. He said, it's a pretty indescribable feel. One of the people who are in the history books. Now it's too big for my brain to absorb. A North Carolina family spotted their missing dog on Petfinder. They were like, hey, that's Kaz. Kaz had been missing for three years, about thirty five miles away. Derek is the local animal control supervisor. He told McClatchy news, my team and I were overwhelmed with joy. While we reunite animals with our owners daily, it's rare to see a reunion after such a long period. He thinks it's because Kaz is a husky and explains huskies are well known for their intelligence, high energy levels, and independent nature, offer earning the reputation of being escape artists. These traits can lead them to find creative ways to leave their homes.

2:39 CAS's case, that's what happened. Scientists are getting it done lately. This is another a great story. A brain implant translates thoughts to speech in an instant. Researchers are working on a device known as a brain computer interface. They added AI algorithms to it that decoded sentences as a woman thought of them, and then spoke them out loud using a synthetic voice. Previous efforts were able to make sounds after the user finished an entire sentence. The current one can detect words and turn them into speech within three seconds. So in the past, what would happen is you'd write a sentence, the other person write a sentence, you'd have to write another sentence. Didn't flow like a normal conversation. BCIs that stream speech in real time are the next level in research because they allow users to convey tone and emphasis. Researchers personalize the synthetic voice to sound like the woman's own voice from before her injury by training AI algorithms on recordings from her wedding video. And one of the tropes of this podcast is there seems to be just a lot of Lockness Monster stories and I enjoyed doing them. So. Back in the seventies, some scientists placed several cameras inside plastic trap boxes and sent them down to the depths of Lockness to hopefully capture pictures of the loch Ness Monster. One of the cameras has been recovered. Fifty five years ago. Biologist Roy Mackel deployed the cameras. One of them was recently discovered during a test dive of an unmanned research submersible in Lockness. The

4:09 camera's mooring system had gotten tied up in the propellers of the sub. By the way, the sub in question is the infamous body mcboat face. Do you know this? One? Long story short? They did a poll to let the public name the sub, and the public voted on body mcboat face. So there's body mcboat face down in Lockness, swimming around it gets tangled. Here's this camera from fifty five years ago. Sam Smith is a robotics engineer with a body mcboat face and said, while this wasn't a fine we expected to make, we're happy that this piece of Nessy hunting history can be shared and perhaps at least the mystery of who left it in the lock can be solved. That's when they tracked it back to the guy from Chicago, Adrian Shine, as a naturalist who got involved with all this, and Adrian's been studying Lockness for half him for fifty years himself. Shine, in a press statement said it's remarkable that the housing has kept the camera drive for the past fifty five years, lying more than four hundred and twenty six feet deep in Lockness. Well, they developed the film and yes, the lockness Monster is real and nobody in the world reported it. And you're learning this from me on no, no, no, of course not.

5:12 They unfortunately did not find any photos of NeSSI, although they did recover some beautiful photos of the Deep Dark Lake. The truth is out there. Those are five good news stories for today. Appreciate you have a great day.
