00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:09,240
The Shark Deck Johnny Mack with five
good news stories. There was a bald

2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,679
eagle who had gone viral for trying
to hatch a rock. Well, good

3
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:17,960
news for Murphy, the thirty one
year old eagle. He's now taken care

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,359
of an orphaned eaglet at a Missouri
bird sanctuary. So back in March,

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,719
the sanctuary explained that building a nest
and nurturing a rock as if it's an

6
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:29,760
egg is a hormonal response to spring. They clarified, Murphy is not hurt,

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,280
sick, or otherwise in distress.
He's built a nest on the ground

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,679
and is very carefully incubating a rock. We wish him the best of luck.

9
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:40,200
Then in April, the sanctuary received
a bruised and battered orphaned eaglet.

10
00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:43,920
His nest had been blown down in
a storm. The sanctuary needed to introduce

11
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,799
the chick to an adult eagle for
fostering. They decided they'd give Murphy a

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,159
chance. Murphy's dad instincts were already
in high gear, but at thirty one

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,439
years old, he had never raised
a chick before. It's definitely a gamble,

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,280
but was the chick's best chance.
Baby rock was removed and the chick

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,600
was introduced. The eaglets has been
bonding beautifully with Murphy. Congratulations to Dylan

16
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:07,920
and Garrett. They have designed the
world's best paper airplane. They are actually

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,480
bowing engineers. It took them twenty
minutes to fold the airplane, which eventually

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,400
flew two hundred and ninety feet,
a Guinness World record. It wasn't a

19
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:21,200
classic paper airplane design. They used
their knowledge of aeronautics and origami to design

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,920
something with the same characteristics as a
supersonic aircraft. They said, we try

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,959
to mimic the design of various hypersonic
vehicles with travel at speeds over MAC five,

22
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:33,760
so we decided to call our plane
MAC five. They selected the A

23
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,359
four, which is European size paper
with the maximum weight of one hundred grams

24
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:42,840
per square meter. Reasoning the heavier
the airplane, farther one could throw it.

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040
We found the optimal angles about forty
degrees off the ground. Once you're

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,840
aiming at that high, you throw
it as hard as possible. That gave

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,159
us our best distance. It took
simulations to figure that out. I didn't

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,079
think we could get useful data from
a simulation on a paper airplane. It

29
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:59,200
turns out we could meanwhile in your
car, if you're like annoyed with all

30
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:01,480
the screens, can we just have
some buttons and knobs like we used to?

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,079
Well, good news, they're coming
back. The head of Hunday Design

32
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,520
said, we've used physical buttons quite
significantly the last few years. We will

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,280
continue to have physical dials. I
agree, Just give me a radio button.

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,000
It gets a little hard punching around
on everything, you know, I

35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,639
just want to hit ac blast.
I don't want to go through a screen.

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Good news from Melissa and Mark.
They saved twenty five thousand dollars by

37
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:25,719
salvaging items from their own scrapyard for
their wedding. After they got engaged,

38
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:30,159
they decided to build their wedding by
using some of the hundreds of thousands of

39
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:34,599
items brought into their scrapyard. They
eventually found tables, chairs, decorations,

40
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,240
even their engagement rings. Melissa said, to have a wedding that was different

41
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:39,319
was always my aim. I love
to stand out from the crowd. I

42
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,560
felt it was my challenge to make
our wedding from things we could reuse and

43
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,439
recycle. Melissa said, I'm so
passionate about saving things from landfill, so

44
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,120
with my wedding, I wanted it
to be as vintage as possible. I

45
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,240
love the salage with things with the
history, I wouldn't dream of buying something

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,719
too modern. With a bit of
TLC, you can make something completely new

47
00:02:55,759 --> 00:03:06,599
and totally unique. I am Patty
Callahan Henry, I am Mary Kay Andrews,

48
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,319

61
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:15,959
pub crawl dressed as Gandalf from Lord
of the Rings, you just might run

62
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,959
into sir Ian McKillen Ben Coyles was
celebrating his twenty second birthday. He was

63
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,319
all dressed up. They walked into
the next bar and there's sir Ian.

64
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,639
His friend Felix said, we had
no idea it'd be there. We were

65
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,000
on our penultimate pub when someone comes
up and asked we we'd like our Gandalf

66
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,439
to meet the real Gandalf. So
I turned around. I assume it's gonna

67
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,759
be somebody pulling my leg. I'd
turned around. It's sir Ian McKillen ben

68
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,959
said. He asked me how old
I was and said, happy birthday.
