Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
chunning Mack with five good news stories.

2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.039
Happy birthday to earn A, the
duck. Erna turned seventeen and an animal

3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:20.719
sanctuary in Rhode Island through a party
to celebrate. Wendy Taylor is the founder

4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.519
and executive director of West Place Animal
Sanctuary. She says Erna is an incredibly

5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.519
special duck, and her motherly instincts
have helped us save lives and raise orphan

6
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.359
birds at the sanctuary. Her maternal
instincts have not only saved lives, but

7
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.439
also enriched the lives of both humans
and animals alike. Crested Peakin ducks typically

8
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.880
live around twelve years. Taylor said
this is a major milestone for Erna.

9
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.399
For a variety of reasons, form
animals do not often make it to old

10
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.560
age. She's given the humans the
animals of West Place so much fun,

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.759
and in turn, West Place is
given Erna the greatest gift of all,

12
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.039
the opportunity to grow old Erne's gonna
have to hang around for a while if

13
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.880
she wants to set the record for
oldest duck. Ever, that title belongs

14
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:07.000
to a pair of ducks owned by
Glattys from Grahamstown, South Africa. The

15
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.519
pair of ducks lived to be age
forty nine. Huh, must have had

16
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.040
some good jeans in that duck pool. I don't know how ducks work.

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.359
I don't know. Forty nine seems
like odd. The two of them were

18
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.040
forty nine, Move on and escaped. Cow was caught on camera. Now

19
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.079
the cops fan out about this because
they were watching the traffic cam and the

20
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:33.120
cow was spotted going the wrong way
through traffic on the northbound lanes of Redwood

21
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.040
Road. Now, cow, if
you're gonna go into traffic, at least

22
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.920
go with traffic. The cow was
caught and tied to a lamppost before being

23
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:45.719
loaded onto a trailer by police.
In a statement, the Saratoga Springs Police

24
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.319
Department said earlier today, we helped
the Lehigh City Police Department chase a cow

25
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.840
down Redwood Road. This cow has
been safely returned to its owner. NASA

26
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.120
is analyzing a two pound object that
crashed through the roof of a Florida man's

27
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.239
house. They wanted to figure out
if it came from the International Space Station.

28
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.359
Alejandro was home suddenly, you know, crashed boom. The sound was

29
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.719
recorded by his ring camera. US
Space Command recorded the re entry of a

30
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.360
piece of debris from the International Space
Station around the same time, over the

31
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.400
Gulf of Mexico, with a trajectory
taking it towards southwest Florida. The debris

32
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.840
was a cargo palette of depleted batteries
that originally been intended to be returned to

33
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.800
Earth in a controlled manner, but
a failed Soyuz spacecraft launch led to an

34
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.759
interruption in the ISS schedule, and
a palette of batteries instead headed back to

35
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.159
Earth in an uncontrolled re entry.
Alejandro told the local news it used to

36
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.719
have a cylindrical shape, and you
could tell by the shape of the top

37
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.520
that traveled in this direction through the
atmosphere. Whatever you burned created in this

38
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.159
burn and melted the metal over in
this direction. A Chinese man drank one

39
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.000
point one gallons of water and brought
it back up to serve as a human

40
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.719
fountain for a record breaking five minutes
and fifty one point eight eight seconds.

41
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.840
So you're gonna drink a bunch of
water, or put a bunch of water

42
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.800
in your mouth or whatever you do, and then you have to spit it

43
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.120
out like your fountain. Okay,
you can picture this The five minute record

44
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:13.680
broke the previous record of fifty six
seconds. What guinnas said the rules for

45
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.560
longest time to spray water from the
mouth category required the water from the man's

46
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.599
mouth to be spurted or sprayed,
with no dribbling allowed. The record it

47
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.199
tamped ends when the stream breaks or
stops. Guinness said. Water spouting is

48
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.080
a trick involving precise muscle control and
has been performed since at least the seventeenth

49
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.240
century. Heads are tails, well, you might want to see which way

50
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.919
I'm holding the coin. A team
of researchers analyze the results of three hundred

51
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:45.000
and fifty seven hundred and fifty seven
coin tosses to determine whether the results are

52
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.360
truly fifty to fifty, and they
found that coins are slightly more likely to

53
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.800
land the same way that they started. Interesting, the three hundred and fifty

54
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.080
seven hundred and fifty seven coin flips
from forty eight people used forty six different

55
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.400
currencies, So this isn't just like
American quarters are messed up, The scientists

56
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.919
said, we found overwhelming evidence for
a same side bias. If you start

57
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.960
heads up, the coin is more
likely the land heads up and vice versa.

58
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.319
Coins slipped into the air and caught
in the hand had a fifty point

59
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.000
eight percent chance of landing on the
same side they started from right. So

60
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.399
we got to see if you know
you're gonna do the let it hit the

61
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.519
ground thing, or if you're gonna
let it hit the hand and then you

62
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.040
flip it over on your arm,
does that change the math? The researchers

63
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.160
rode. If you bet a dollar
and the outcome of a coin toss and

64
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.360
repeat the bet one thousand times,
knowing the starting position of the coin toss

65
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.199
would earn you nineteen dollars on average. That's more than the casino average for

66
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.680
a six deck blackjack against optimal strategy
player, where the casino would make five

67
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.079
dollars on a comparable bet, but
less than the casino advantage for single zero

68
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.240
roulett where the casino would make twenty
seven dollars on average. Researchers say the

69
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.439
odds very slightly from flipper to flipper, with some coin flippers showing a clear

70
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:57.560
bias toward same side landings, another
showing no bias at all. And those

71
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.360
are your five good news stories for
today. If you enjoy the pro and

72
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:01.639
tell a friend about it. They
might like it too. If you're a

73
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.600
new listener and you're not already a
follower, and you're on the Apple podcast

74
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.480
app, there's like a plus button
on the top right of your phone on

75
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.000
don't you push that so you don't
miss an episode. We're here Monday,

76
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.279
Wednesday, Friday. If you enjoy
my company, I also host a podcast

77
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.160
called Daily Comedy News seven days a
week. We talk about stand up comedians.

78
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.560
That podcast is also clean and it's
just a good time. This always

79
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.040
a controversy or gossip. Check it
out. It's fun and you have a

80
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:25.519
great day.
