I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Yeah, that was a seal
in the hardware store. What did you think it was? Apparently one morning,
at six thirty in the morning, a New Zealand first seal wandered into
the Bunnings and started walking around the aisles. The Bunning's team quickly corralled the
seal with heavy boxes of dishwashers and other appliances to create a makeshift pen.
Sarah Yates told Yahoo Australia, I'm so proud of my team as they troubleshot
this very random Monday morning situation. Yes, I rarely expect to find a
seal in my office. Want to record the podcast? They called the Department
of Conservation. The seal went back to the ocean, where it could eat
fish, hang on the beach, and grow up to two hundred and seventy
eight pounds. Sounds like me, Hey, Benji the dog, what do
you do in man? You see, Sandra the human was filling up a
pool so her dogs could cool off. Benji the Dog snuck in to the
garage and discovered a bag of rubber ducks. These were left over from Sandra's
son's swimming lessons. Benji the dog thought ducks looked pretty tasty and had eight
of them for lunch. Sandra told the mirror the dog was eating a lot
of grass, and then he looked kind of sick and threw up a slightly
chew duck. When we got home, he was sick twice more. In
the second time, he threw up four ducks. The next day he threw
up two more, but he was still eating, drinking, going to the
bathroom. Then around six thirty he was sick all over the place, so
she took him to the vet. There was still one duck left. They
had to do some surgery. Benji the dog is okay. He was back
home two days later. Sandra said, Benji's really something. He's quite cunning
when it comes to eating things. He shouldn't believe it or not. He
one time unzipped my son's school bag and ate through his homework, one of
the few times the dog ate My homework story is actually true. Good job
by a postal worker in Scotland who saved a senior citizen from being scammed.
The scammers had contacted the senior and claimed to be from her bank, saying
there was unusual activity on her account. Yeah, we know, I'll know.
These scammers do this crap all the time. They told the lady to
withdraw all her savings and set it to an address so they could deposit it
into a new account. The woman came into the post office. The manager
said the customer was known to us. We thought it was out of character,
and we asked what was in the package. The customer hesitated but told
her it was money about three thousand that you're withdrawn from the bank. The
post at worker told her it was a scam, told her to call her
bank to verify the information, but the scammers kept calling, but this time
the post at worker answered and the scammers hung up. A college athlete had
won a scholarship to Eastern Michigan to play football, but he gave it away
to his teammate who was struggling to pay tuition bills. Offensive lineman Brian Dooley
had a scholarship, but he admired the grind of his partner, offensive liner
Zach Kanti, who made the team as a walk on. Meeting without a
scholarship, Conti paid seven thousand dollars per semester tuition and all the expenses.
He even had to sell his blood plasm to make payments. CONTI said,
football something I really loved. So Ever since I got to school, I've
done whatever it takes to stay here in a good position with academics and football
and everything. So I work a landscaping job, but I rip out carpets
and I demo tile floors whenever I'm not working, not doing football, or
going to school. Leave the kid with a scholarship. Walked into the coach's
office and asked if there's any way he could transfer his scholarship to Kanti to
keep his friend on the team. Do leave the Kid with the scholarship,
told good Morning America. The offensive line brotherhood is something that's hard to break.
We have each other's back. That's why I wanted to get Kanti's back.
If Kanti wasn't here, I'd give it to somebody else too. If
somebody's working that hard, they deserve a scholarship. Their season starts September one.
Good news. If you like living underwater, you'll just have to hang
around to the year five thousand, according to a time traveler. Apparently,
a time traveler known as Edward has revealed a chilling glimpse of humanity's future.
He's got a photo and he claims it shows life in an underwater city,
perhaps Los Angeles, three thousand years into the future. Edward said he was
part of a top secret experiment in two thousand and four in which he was
able to time travel and manage to get some photos of what he saw.
He told Yahoo News he was working in a lab in LA when he was
given the task of time traveling and taking photos. You tend to get assigned
when you work at such a laboratory. Edward said, I was standing on
a huge wooden platform, not only me, houses, buildings of course,
all made from wood. And after I realized it was Los Angeles but underwater,
Edward claims humans were forced to live underwater when the ice caps melted.
I'm not sure that's good news, but those are your five stories. Anyway
