0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Good news for a rare calico lobster. The people that caught the rare calical lobster knew what they had there. A rare caligo lobster has orange and black collaring. It is believed to occur in only one of thirty million lobsters. This one was caught off the coast of Massachusetts, The Marine Science Center said in a news release. One day, Mike, the lobster men sent it me a message with a picture of this beautiful calico and asked if we had room in our tanks for another beautiful, rare lobster. Sierra, who coordinates the program, said, of course we do. Such a thoughtful and fund donation to our science education program. The lobster has been named Jackie, short for jack O'Lantern. Jackie will live with Neptune, who's a blue lobster. Blue occurs in one out of two million lobsters. Sierra says. Normally the lobsters that we s you're reddish, brownish, a little bit greenish. In the calico lobster, the pigment combines with other pigments and proteins in a really unique way that gives her this really rare, kind of modeled or frickled look. In Menlo Park, California, they were trying to figure out hattie has stopped the crows and geese from crapping all over the playground. What do you do? They put up coyote statues? Who's an idea from the principal's father. He lives in Canada. She was talking of about the geese poop and he said, in Canada they use fake coyotes and parks to deter geese.
1:31 The principals thought, hey, that might work for crows too, and it does. Now. The downside is they've gotten over a dozen calls to warn the school that there are coyotes on campus, and the school gets a good chuckle out of that. Appreciate you looking out for us. They're not real good news. If you're in Athens, you can see the Parthenon Temple without scaffolding for the first time in two hundred years. Greece's Cultural Minister Lina Mondoni said at least two generations have not seen the Parthenon visually free. To see the Parthenon completely free as it stands today is something that hasn't happened for at least two hundred years. The Parthenon was built in the fifth century BC on top of the Acropolis to honor Athena, the patron goddess of the city. Get moving because they're going to start working on it again. In November, with another set of scaffoldings being constructed. Yikes, get on a plane, get over there.
2:20 A California Highway Patrol officer stopped a vehicle found to be driving with a fake license plate that had been hand drawn the chips set on social media. Upon closer look, the license plate turned out to be handmade. It even had a fake registration sticker. The cops said, we'll give this driver points for creativity. The driver said, oh, I lost the original plate. The chip said, while we appreciate the effort to stay compliant after losing the original plate, California law requires vehicles to display state issued plates only. If your plates are lost or stolen, you can easily get replacements through the DMV instead of breaking out the art supplies. Are you eating while you're listening to me? Then hit stop because you're not gonna want to hear this one. Good news for a family they got to go out to dinner. Why, Johnny Mack, Well, you see, they have Wendy the cat and Wendy the cat dropped a dead mouse into their food was actually captured on their home security camera. Wendy the kitten drops a dead mouse into a pot cooking on the stove. Wendy's owner said she was out feeding the dogs when the kitchen camera recorded the cat's attempted cooking. She said the cat's suspicious behavior when she came back into the kitchen led her to check the camera footage and discover the surprise good thing. The cat was acting suspicious. That could have been all kinds of horrible. I'm just freaking out telling you the story. Cat mom said, as you can guess, it was takeout for dinner that night. Can you imagine? Yikes?
3:45 Those are five good no four good news stories anyway, and whatever that last one was, I'm horrified. Do you have a great day.
