0:03 Callaroga Shark Media by there Jenny Mack with five good news stories planes, trains, automobiles and porcupines, or as Samuel L. Jackson may have said, I have had it with these porcupines on this plane. Wildlife rescuers in British Columbia wound up caring for a porcupine that had stowed away an erecked plane, and then the porcupine found himself on a helicopter and then a boat. Interior Wildlife said a wreck recovery company had transported a wrecked plane across Canada five hundred and thirty eight miles via helicopter, boat and trailer. It was only once that the wreckage got to the company's flat deck that they found the porcupine. On social media, Interial Wildlife said, with the help of our supporting veterinarian, we lightly sedated the porcupine via the rear end, which was the only spot we could get to in through the small plane window. We then pulled it out gently by the front arms and a few minutes later no quill shed save for the humans involved and the animal itself.
1:04 At the time of this recording, and they were trying to figure out all right, where do you put the porcupine? Do you like soccer? Four teams of humanoid robots played some three on three soccer in China recently. The robots were equipped with advanced visual sensors. They were able to identify the ball and navigate the field with agility. You know we're gonna come back in twenty years. We're just gonna be watching robo soccer. The innovation here the robots were designed to stand up on their own after falling over. Chang Howe is the founder of Booster Robotics and said, in the future, we may arrange for robots to play football with humans, but that means we must ensure that the robots are completely safe. For example, a robot and a human could play a match where winning doesn't matter, but real offensive and defensive interactions take place. That would help audiences build trust and understand that robots are safe.
1:53 Good news for an Alaska brown bear that lives in Minnesota. He's got his tooth taking care of. He's got a new metal crown in obviously better insurance than I have. The eight hundred pound bear underwent an hour long procedure by doctor Grace Brown. Doctor Brown had previously performed a root canal on the same tooth on the same bear. Well, obviously i'll leave that in. Tundra reinjured the tooth and the decision was made to give Tundra the bear a new, stronger crown. The titanium alloy crown was made by Creature Crowns of Post Falls, Idaho. There's a business. Doctor Brown said, this is the largest crown ever created in the world. This is a little scary. Tundra. The six year old bear stands about eight feet tall. Because of the bear is so big, they had an armed guard in the room just in case the bear woke up under the procedure, but the bear did not. It's back in its habitat, behaving and eating normally. If you're in Madrid and you're eating at the world's oldest restaurant, well hold on, there might be an even older one. There's two places going at it. Sabrino de Botin holds the Guinness World Record as the world's oldest restaurant three hundred years old, but the outskirts of Madrid, a place called Casa Pedro, says they're even older. Irene is the manager and the eighth generation owner and says it's really frustrating when you say, yeah, we've been around since seventeen oh two, but you can't prove it. If you look at the restaurant's logo, it says Casa Pedro since seventeen oh two. So we said,
3:26 let's try to prove it. She remembers her grandfather swearing by Casa Pedro's age. They hired a historian. So far they've turned up documents showing that it's been around since at least seventeen fifty. Over at Botein, they got the Guinness Award in nineteen eighty seven and admit it has held business now. The catch here is you have to be in the same location using the same name. Because of that, there's some other places place in Paris from sixteen eighty six, one in Beijing from fourteen sixteen, where the White House Tavern in Newport, Rhode Island from sixteen seventy three are not eligible for the day. I guess they've changed their name over time. I was recently in Dublin and had a couple of pints at a place called the Brazen Head, Ireland's oldest pub. They're claiming eleven ninety eight, so I don't know. Fun story anyway, Another message in a bottle. This one showed up in Florida and eleven year old girl vacationing with her family found one that had supposed and thrown into the ocean eight years earlier in Hawaii. Josie told local TV is just walking and the waves were coming up and it was washing on shore. The wave went like a crash on each other in back. So I grabbed it really quickly and I showed my mom in the bottle of note that said, hello, people who found this, You'll be happy that you found this Why because you will know me with this number. Mom sent a text message to the number.
4:41 She soon got a response from a twenty one year old Hawaiian woman who told her she and her brother had thrown the bottle in the ocean off Owahu eight years ago. That woman said it was super fun to see that our bottle ended up all the way in Florida and that they ended up reaching out to us. Definitely didn't expect that to happen now. A local meteorologist said it seems unlikely that bottle floated all the way from Why to Florida, but it is technically possible. Dude, just go with the story. This isn't four good news stories and johnn de books one. Let's just have a nice smile story. A girl found a letter that traveled from WAYI to Florida. You gotta believe. Let's just have a good day and enjoy that story. Huh. All right, you guys, have a good one. I'll see you.
