0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Got another plane rescue story for you. A pilot and his dog survived a plane crash off the California coast. They swammed a shore where they were met by authorities. The piper PA thirty two, a single engine plane, crashed around five point fifteen in the afternoon. The pilot are reported engine issues. The pilot and the dog were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Not sure how far off the coast the plane crashed or what kind of dog it was, but I'm glad everybody's okay. Meanwhile, in France, a Newke Garnier broke the rope climbing record at the Eiffel Tower by climbing a one hundred and ten a meter rope to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. She did it in eighteen minutes and Nuke said, I can't believe I just did that.
0:53 It's so crazy. It was me against myself, so I did what was necessary to get there. She is a two time world opst course champion. She trained for a year before tempting the climb. Meanwhile, good news in California. The California condor, which is the largest bird in North America, went extinct in the wild in nineteen eighty seven. If you're of a certain age, you probably remember that announcement. The new chick is the two hundred and fiftieth egg to be hatched at the San Diego Zoo. It was born to mom Mexwi and Dad Zozol. When Zozol was first brought to the zoo, the population had dropped to a low of just twenty two birds. Nora Wills is a senior wildlife care specialist at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and said in a press release, reaching this milestone feels incredible. There's still a long way to go, but being part of this and helping the species recover is life changing. The new chick has been named m I, a word meaning sky. Before hatching, m I was placed in an incubator to be closely monitored by a care team. Though it had been a brief concern for malposition, but the egg was given a clean bill of health and returned to Zozol and mexway four hatching. Under their recovery program at the zoos, Zolzol has fathered forty one chicks since nineteen ninety three, many of which have been reintroduced to their native habitat. May is expected to join them in twenty twenty five. That's awesome if you were commuting a via train in Australia and you were like, is that a horse? Yep, it's a horse. A horse wandered into a train station in New South Wales after scaping heavy rain.
2:21 I don't blame your horse. In a statement, and official of the Transport for New South Wales said, the horse was reported to be wearing only a rug and demonstrating a bit of horseplay. He appeared to pursue an informant along the platform before unsuccessfully attempting to board a train. They were happy the horse followed station guidelines by not crossing the yellow lines. Good job horse. It's unclear to me why the horse did not board the train. The horse was reunited with its owner after moving to the parking lot area and returned home unscathed. I don't have a clever way to get into this one. Let me just tell you the largest fossilized human turd has been found. It apparently had longed. Is the word being used belonged to a sick Viking back in the ninth century. The turd has been valued at thirty nine thousand dollars. How big is it? Johnny Mack? Eight inches long and two inches wide.
3:14 It was discovered in nineteen seventy two by construction workers. I'm not expert. I don't think I would have been like, hey, you know what I think that is? I don't know. Back in nineteen ninety one, dung scientist doctor Andrew Jones. Doctor Andrew Jones sounds like a made up name, doesn't it. Dung scientist doctor Andrew Jones appraised the piece in nineteen ninety one in the name of insurance. He told The Wall Street Journal at the time, this is the most exciting piece of experiment I've ever seen. In its own way. It's as irreplaceable as the crown jewels. Paleoscatologists have studied the turd, and they've learned that the producer ate mostly meat and bread. Because it was a Viking and it was the ninth century, the producer had a gut full of parasites. The manure was found to be infested with whipworm and maulworm eggs, suggest and the Viking often had an upset stomach and other gastro intestinal problems. If you would like to visit the Pooh, you'll find it in a glass box at the Jorvik Viking Center in York, England, where listen to this. In two thousand and three, visitors dropped it. It broke into three pieces. It has been repaired. I have many questions as to you. Let's just ask them out loud. First of all, visitors dropped it, so it was like, hey, would you like to hold it like that? No? And isn't it a museum piece? I don't get it, and I'd be curious how it was repaired. The center is proud to call itself the Turn's Final resting place. They even host a virtual workshop in February called Pooh Day where you can learn about the dunge, significance and those They're five news source for today. If you enjoy the program and
4:46 tell a friend about it, they might like it too. If you enjoy my company, I also host a podcast called Daily Comedy Needs, seven days a week where we talk about stand up comedy. That one is fun and also clean. All right, have a great day,
