Man stranded on Mt. Fuji goes back to get his phone

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Congratulations to the winners of finger Helken that is the German finger Wrestling Championship. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. You want to dress up properly, so you wear short leathered pants and embroidered suspenders, you are risking dislocated fingers. Around one hundred and eighty competitors took part in the sixty fourth championship in Pang, that's about an hour southwest of Munich. It's believe that finger wrestling originated as a way to settle disputes. Hey, stop parking in front of my house. Oh yeah, let's finger wrestle. The earliest depictions of finger wrestling go back to the nineteenth century. How does it work, Johnny Mack? Okay, Two competitors sit on opposite size of a table. Each one hooks a finger, usually your middle finger, through a small leather loop. The referee signals the start and you try to pull the other person across the table. The whole thing to usually lasts only a few seconds. There are rules in everything. There are official measurements for both the table and the leather loop. There are different weight and age categories. If you want to sign up for some finger wrestling league. There are nine clubs in Germany and another four in Austria. George Hayler runs one of Germany's clubs, the finger Hockler schillerkcow checker pronunciation with a native German speaker. Mister Haler says, it's not dangerous at all.

1:30 Of course, there'll be open wounds in small entries on the fingers. From time to time it looks worse than it really is because there's blood. Maximilian Wolfel is one of the wrestlers and he explains there are different techniques like cat do you sit at the table, how do you transfer your power as quickly as possible to the loop, and of course you need a well trained finger. Meanwhile, in Michigan, a state trooper found five thousand dollars in lost cash. He tried to return it to the owner. The owner thought the calls were a scam. A local trooper found the cash in the middle of the road. He contacted a nearby bay, which confirmed that a customer had just withdrew the same amount of money on social media. The PD said the subject must have been listening to our public service announcements on being a victim of fraud and believed he was being scammed and hung up on the trooper several times. How did this happen? It appears the subject, after making the withdrawal, put the money in their pants pocket and it somehow fell out. In the Bronx, New York City, the Bronx Zoo announced the first King vulture chick to hatch at the Bronx Zoo in three decades is being hand raised using a puppet. The puppet is made to look like a mother vulture. They're doing this so the baby bird doesn't imprint on its human caretakers on social media. The zoo says ornithologists pioneered this technique more than forty years ago when hand raising condor chicks using a similar hand puppet cleverly disguised to mimpic an adult bird. The terrors use the puppet to feed the baby, and the don costumes that hide their face and other human features. Hey, good news for a dude who is climbing Mount Fuji. We cat your phone, dude, but like chill out the details. A climber had been

3:01 airlifted with altitude sickness from the near peak of Japan's Mount Fuji. The guy returned to the slope and was rescued for a second time. Four days later. The man had been airlifted after developing symptoms of altitude sickness. Then four days later he climbs back up ten thousand feet above sea level to look for his cell phone. Another climber found the man there unable to move. Guess why altitude sickness? And I'm not sure this is good news, but it's fun news, and I try and make the show fun. In Washington, the State Patrol said two drivers were caught using dummies to illegally drive in carpool lanes. Trooper Rick is the public information officer for the WSP.

3:45 Trooper Rick on social media said the first driver was pulled over in the HOV lanes of Interstate five when a trooper noticed the only passenger was a mannequin wearing a brunette wig, a plaid shirt, a scarf. Trooper Johnson writes driver admitted this was the only way to be able to use the HOV lane. The driver also indicated he has not named his passenger. A couple days later, also on I five, a trooper is suspected a backseat passenger was a mannequin. This one was found to be a dummy doll wearing a bright yellow windbreaker and a baseball cap in Washington. If you pull off these shenanigans, you're subject to a one hundred and eighty six dollars fine, with an extra two hundred dollars tacked on if the driver is found to be using a dummy or mannequin as a passenger. And those are your five good news stories for today. You have an awesome day.
