Never feed the raccoons

0:03 Caalaroga shark media. Well good news a woman is safe for being hounded by one hundred raccoons. Hello, shouting back with your five good news stories. Kevin is a spokesperson for the Sheriff's office. He said a woman called nine one one having had to flee her property after fifty two one hundred raccoons descended upon her home and were acting aggressively. She told deputies she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago, and it was fine until about six weeks ago, when the number showing up went from a handful to around one hundred. Spokesperson Kevin says she said the raccoons were becoming increasingly more aggressive, demanding food.

0:45 That they would hound her day and night, scratching at the outside of her home. At the door she pulled up by car, they would surround her car, scratch the car, surround her if she went for the front door or went outside at all. The raccoons saw the house as a food source, so they kept coming back to it, and they kept expect acting food. Videos from the Sheriff's office show raccoons milling around trees. Deputies who responded to the call did observe fifty to one hundred raccoons. Spokesperson Kevin said this is a nuisance problem kind of her own making, that she has to deal with. I may give you another pro tip, don't feed the bears. Actor Damian Lewis, you know that guy Billions Homeland. That guy, Yeah, he drove a flock of sheep across the River Thames. Lewis is among thousands of people granted the honorary title of Freemen of the City of London, which in medieval times came with the right to bring livestock across the river to market without paying tolls. Well recently, during the annual London Sheep Drive, more than one thousand freemen exercised that right, many wearing black hats and red cloaks. Lewis wore his grandfather's wolf coat and carried a crook as he led the sheep over the Southwark Bridge. Damien said it was fabulous. Manny Cohen is the master woman at the Worshipful Company of Woolmen and said the ancient sheep driving tradition was revived around fifteen years ago and has become a major charity fundraising event. There are no plans to bring back other privileges for the free men, such as the right to carry an unsheathed sword in public and to be escort at home if found drunk. Johnny Mack, you got a record for us, I sure do. A festival in Cyprus served up a sausage kebab that measured

2:18 two hundred and forty six feet long. The Saint Lazarus and His Little Friend Savas Festival is an annual charity event honoring Saint Lazarus. The event raised money for charities, including the Saint Lazarus Center for People with Disabilities. The two hundred and forty six foot sausage kebab required a team of about thirty people to lift. I don't know what they did with all the extra sausage, but I'm gonna give them a tip. Don't feed the raccoons. Have you ever walked across an entire country? Hudson and Emily did. They walked across the entire South Pacific nation of Tuvalu in under a minute. Emily was on Instagram and said, walking across this country took me less time than walking from my car into target. The two Pennsylvania natives or trying to visit every country on our ear. So far they've hit one hundred and eighty three of one hundred and ninety five on their list. Tuvalu has under twelve thousand people and measures ten square miles. Now, how did they get across in a minute if they picked the part where it's only sixty six feet wide? Emily said, this should only be done by professionals. You have to take intense preparation, serious hydration and the best of the best snacks. And good news. If you're me and got to the end of the script and realized, oh, you didn't have a fifth story, you only have four, well, luckily for me, I have other scripts, so let me pull this one up. The World Egg Throwing Championships are back for the twentieth anniversary. The event was founded in two thousand and five and has seen competitors from all around the world go heads ahead, with New Zealand coming out victorious in the inaugural competition back in two thousand and five. Each heat seems team tossers throw an egg

3:48 to catchers over distances that increase by ten meters each time. The five bears that successfully throw the egg the furthest without smashing their egg, go through to the Grand Final. Next year's Grand Final will take place Sunday, June twenty ninth, twenty twenty five. Andy Dunlop, presidents of the World Egg Throwing Federation, says it might not be a javelin, but it is considered an extreme sport. People have said egg throwing isn't a real sport, but of course it is. It's not like a javelin, where you've just got a guy throwing a pointed stick down a field. This you've got to throw the egg over an ever increasing distance and you've got to catch it without breaking the egg. Nobody in javelin throwing tries to catch the javelin. That's a good point. I'm not sure if five good news stories for today or did I do six? My mistake, I thought I did four. Did you get a bonus one?
