0:51 Sure? Why not? So this guy David. We've talked about this guy David before. He likes breaking records. This one is most water moved by hands in third twenty seconds. He'd been trying to take this record for five years. He had attempted it multiple times, but his attempts were frequently disqualified for reasons including his picture of water moving slightly and using a non approved surface. He had to use only his hands to transfer water from a bucket to a pitcher placed one meter away. He successfully took the record by transferring a one hundred and twelve point four ounces from one container to the other in thirty seconds. That brought him to a total of one hundred and seventy four concurrently held records. He's trying to make it to one hundred and eighty one and concurrently held records to surpass fellow record breaker Silvio. Silvio has one hundred and eighty records right now. Okay, congratulations to twenty three sets of twins.

1:47 They all graduated from middle school. That's right. Twenty three sets of twins made up about ten percent of the eighth grade class. This at Hollered Middle School in Nita, Massachusetts. There's another student who's also twin. She graduated, but her brother goes to a different school. The principal set, it's quite unusual. You think we typically have anywhere from five to ten sets at most. Given her numbers, we have approximately four hundred and fifty to five hundred children each grade, so this was extraordinarily high. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, twins account for around three percent of live birds in the US. Congratulations to all the twins. Dj Vika is one of Warsaw's most popular DJs. Dj Vika spins techno at nightclubs, plays seventies hits.

2:30 Oh, and she's eighty five and she plays those seventies hits at a senior citizens club in the daytime. She retired at age sixty five, but grew restless and her husband suggested find something to do. They're making a documentary about her. The director says she's unstoppable, and I think that also makes her go on. At the age of eighty five, she still has so much energy and appetite for life. The stories are a little silly today, aren't they. How about this one? Ramen noodle products from a South Korean company have been recalled in Denmark because they're too spicy. That's right. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration announced on their website that it's recalling sam Yang's bull Dack, three times spicy Hot Chicken, two X Spicy Hot Chicken, and hot Chicken stew ramen noodle products. The recall was attributed to high levels of capsaicin the chili pepper extract that gives the noodles their spicy flavor. The Technical University of Denmark Food Institute assesses that the levels in a single pack of all three noodle products are so high that they pose a risk that the consumer develops acute poisoning. Sam Yang gave a statement to the BBC saying, we understand that the Danish food authority recalled the products not because of a problem in their quality, but because they were too spicy. The products are being exported globally.

3:40 This is the first time they've been recalled for the above reason. The company said they will look closely into the local regulations. Now I'm no expert in this subject, really, John, We didn't know that. No, I'm not Bulldack Ramen three X Spicy, the hottest noodles in the product line, has a spiciness rating of thirteen thousand Scoville heat units. As a comparison, a jalapeno pepper has a rating of four thousand to eight thousand Sculville heat units. That is some spicy ramen. And those are your five good news stories for today.
