Why you have to wear shoes at the naked museum

0:03 Caalaroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five canoe stories. So for most of the summer I was telling you about that. You know, there are a bunch of guys that are going back and forth trading who has the most Guinness World Records. Well, the Washington Post profiled David Rush. He had one hundred and eighty one Guinness World Records at the time of the article. He says he was looking for a way to share a message about perseverance when he came up with a zany idea. He'd teach himself how to juggle blindfolded and go for the Guinness World record. He broke the record in twenty fifteen with a time of six minutes and thirty four seconds. He then decided winning one record wasn't enough. He wanted to break as many records as he could. The Washington Post writes, Catch fifty nine morshmallows in his mouth in less than one minute, no problem. Balance one hundred and one toilet paper rolls on his head. Sure. Earlier this year, he broke the world record for bursting the most balloons with chopsticks in one minute. Guinness says they no longer monitor who has the record for most broken records, but Rush said he knew that they in Italy. Silvio also had one hundred and eighty concurrent world record titles. On January thirtieth, Rush documented his one hundred and eighty first record.

1:08 He smashed fifty five vinyl records in thirty seconds. We've learned how you submit for this. You can either have an official Guiness representative come on site or you have volunteer timers and witnesses. Then you submit official paperwork, videos and photos to Guinness. Silvio the Italian Dude. He has more than two hundred Guinness records, but about twenty of them were later broken by other people. Employees at Guinness World Records in London took note when Rush showed up at their offices early the summer and broke fifteen records in one day, including fastest time to drink a leader of lime juice through a straw. I'm glad it's through a straw, not just you know the regular record, that world title thirteen point nine to nine seconds, just under the fourteen second mark. People thought that would never be broken, he said. I threw up immediately afterward. All right. What's the opposite of that story? John Well, expert on fung guy, has spent a decade trying to discover the identity behind a deserved and mislabeled specimen in an Australian collection. Tom May works at the National Herbarium in Melbourne, Australia. There was a donation to the Herbarium by the Royal Botanic Gordons in Victoria. In it, doctor May found some small, shriveled mushroom samples bearing an untraceable name. He opened the blue packet a decade ago, hasn't been able to figure it out. He did find a book from eighteen oh five published in Latin. Then we get into the weeds here, Doctor May said. Finding the book was sort of like putting bits together of a jigsaw. Doctor May's sample appears as number seven in the two hundred year old book.

2:36 Doctor May has been recognized internationally as a Fellow of the International Mycological Association. Congratulations Sir, good news for dolphin that was stranded on a beach near Cape Town, South African rugby legend Percy Montgomery. He led the team to victory at the two thousand and seven World Cup. He was hanging out on the beach, he saw dolphin in distress. He stopped his car rush down the close to the beach. He grabbed the slippery dolphin and waded through the surf to put it back in the ocean. However, the dolphins seemed disoriented and quickly washed back on the shore. So Montgomery tried again. And as far as we know, the dolphin is out there somewhere safely swimming. Meanwhile, I got to hit the museum more often. A French museum has announced that members of the public are being invited to view its exhibit on naturism while wearing nothing but shoes.

3:20 That's right. It's the more Sae Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, and they say nude patrons are being welcome to pruise the Nature's Paradise exhibit in the nude on designated dates once a month. Nudist Paradise is features hundreds of pieces of art from nature'st communities, including paintings, sculptures, photographs and films. But why do I have to wear shoes? An official says it's to avoid getting splinters. Danie is a new father for the second time. He said everything could have gone wrong, and everything went right. Alret his wife, Rebecca was pregnant. She felt the contractions coming on. They hopped in the car. It was a fifty six minute drive in the summertime traffic near Cape Cod to get to Plymouth. Her water broke. Baby Summer was born there on the highway. Then they sped off to the hospital with their newborn wrapped in a blanket. But wait, there's more.

4:07 At the hospital, Dad noticed his wedding band was gone. A couple days later, he returned to the highway to see maybe it was on the side of the road where the baby was born. He told WCVB. Just as we were about to leave, I looked down him. By the grace of God, I found it right between my toes. I was scraping some grass away and I couldn't believe it. Everything could have gone wrong, and everything went right. And those are your five A Good News stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too.
