Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny mag with five
good news stories. A couple in Nova, Scotia were kind
of surprised they received forty dollars and an apology letter
from Alabama. The letter was written by a man who
had searched for his local Bentley's Burgers and mistakenly found
their local Bentley's Burgers, ordering a doomed pair of burgers
for pickup from over one thousand miles away. Realizing his
mistake and rather than sending quick email, he decided to
send a handwritten letter explaining his mistake and the cost
of the burger magnified by two to make up for
what was wasted. You see, Darsey and Laura run a
food truck with the same name as the one in Alabama.
Darcy said, my jaw hit the floor. Hope for humanity.
Yet Darsey had taken the order from Alabama and noticed
immediately something was unusual. Darcy said, I noticed there was
a Southern accent to it. No big deal because we
get tourists coming through all the time. I took the
order and just went out about it. Then after about
an hour it was clear none was coming. It's time
to wrap up, so the staff gave the order way
to another customer for free. Didn't think much about it.
The next week a letter arrived in the mail. It read,
I was unable to pick up the food because I
live in Alabama. Obviously I called the wrong restaurant. I
hope that the amountain closed is enough to cover the
cost of my embarrassing mistake. Even the name of the restaurant,
which is not all that common, is kind of random.
The Canadian one is named after their dog, Nice Jop
out of everybody. Hey, good news, Bumblebees have learned to
read Morse code. What Yeah. A new study shows that
an insect can differentiate between different durations of visual cues.
Researchers at the Queen Mary University of London built a
special maze to train individual bees to find a sugar
reward at one of two flashing circles. They were shown
either a long or short flash duration. The short flash
or a dot in Morse code was associated with sugar,
the long flash a dash was associated with a bitter
substance that bees dislike. The bees learned to go to
the flashing circle paired with the sugar. One of the
scientists said, since bees don't encounter flashing stimuli in their
national environment. It's remarkable they could succeed at this task.
I'm not sure what you do with this information. Maybe
we'll send the bees a message. Shannon was about to
head out for her weekly nine holes of golf with
her buddy Darren. Darren called up and said, not feeling well,
I can't play today. But as they were chatting, Darren,
who was sitting in his car outside his house, began
to stutter and then dropped out of frame on the
video call. Shannon said, I knew immediately when I saw
his face on the screen that something was wrong. He
looks so great. He got the words out and then
started stuttering and dropped the phone. She raced to the scene,
found him slumped over the steering wheel and explains, I
rang the ambulance straight away and the operator told me
to drag him out of the car and on the
ground to clear his airwaves. Paramedics showed up, but as
Darren was being driven in the hospital, he suffered a
heart attack. He was resuscitated by the paramedics. He then
had another heart attack. The paramedics were like, you might
want to say goodbye to your friend here. Shannon explains
it sounds daff now, but I pulled a golf ball
out of my bag and put it in hand and
told him to hang on. He was squeezing it. This
is five good news stories. See how this ends. Darren
underwent emergency surgery. He survived. He lost one hundred and
twelve pounds in his back playing golf of Shennon every week.
Good news for a pig. The pig was found on
Interstate forty in Albuquerque. The fifty pound pig somehow ended
up on the freeway running alongside the shoulder. Officers tried
to corral him. After the conumy, he was taken to
the West Side Animal Shelter. No owner came forward, so
he's made available for adoption. Now he has a new
home in the South Valley of Albuquerque. He lives with
another pig and several dogs fenced away, so he's unlikely
to make another freeway dash. Famous last words do you
listen to this podcast? And scientists studying tiny chameleons in
Madagascar discovered they've been fooled by noses, Yes, chameleon noses.
A new study found that what everybody thought was one
species the Kaluma gallus is actually three different species, all
hiding in plain sight because their noses look kind of similar.
You see, one has a nose, one has a rounded nose,
and one looks like it fell face first into a
pencil sharpener. Here's how you tell them apart. Okay, you
write this down. The Kaluma Gallas has a spiky, thorny
looking nose, think of a punk rock chameleon. The Kaluma haafretteri,
that's one of the newly discovered ones that has a
rounded nose, and the Kaluma pinocchio has a long, smooth
nose that looks like Pinocchio. Scientists like to make it
easy for us. Researchers figured this all out they were
studying old museum specimens, including one collected in eighteen thirty six.
Those so you're five good news stories for today. You
have an awesome day.
