Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with five good
news stories. This first one is fun. There's a museum
in Illinois, the Volo Museum. It's well known for a
collection of famous movie and TV cars. In their collection
is a nineteen eighty two Pontiac Firebird trans Am, a
replica of Kit, you know, the car from Night Rider.
The car has a California novelty plate that reads nights Now.
Here's the thing. The museum recently got a piece of
mail from New York City a speeding ticket. Apparently Kit
had been caught on a traffic camera doing thirty six
miles per hour and a twenty five mile per hour
zone on Ocean Parkway in New York City. New York
City's Autosystem sent the ticket to the Volo Museum. The
fine was fifty dollars. Here's the thing. The actual car
hasn't been driven on a public road and over a decade.
It's in a museum. Jim is the museum's marketing director,
and said, we're famous for our large movie and teav
car collection, so at first we thought it was a joke.
We then looked it up on the official New York
City website and it was indeed legit. But he said
of the plate that got flagged, it's a novelty plate.
We sell these in our gift shop. Meanwhile, in New
York City, someone else was driving around with the same
novelty plate in the traffic camera system tracked it back
to the museum. The New York City Dot has acknowledged
the ticket was issued in error and it would be dismissed.
A Canadian university has made history by turning hundreds of
people into dinosaurs for a day. The University of Calgary
grabbed six hundred and eighty two people dressed in dinosaur
costumes to celebrate at sixtieth anniversary. That set a new
Guinness World record for largest gathering of people dressed as dinosaurs.
I feel like we could beat that one if we tried.
The previous record was four hundred and sixty eight people
dressed as dinosaurs. That was set last year in Florida.
University President Ed McCauley said, the old record is extinct.
I see what you did there. These schools sports teams
are known as the dinos. So six p't eighty two?
Should we go for that one? Maybe? Officials in British
Columbia are not too happy with a prank. A hollowed
out Volkswagen Beetle was suspended from her rock face. The
bright red car, painted with a Canadian flag and a
large E on top, appeared last March, hanging in a
spot that wasn't designed for parking. The local Ministry of
Environment and Parks says the stunt created a safety risk
the car's position above power lines and Highway ninety nine,
raising concerns that if it were to fall, it could
create problems. Group of engineering students from the University of
BC has taken credit for the stunt. Officials say the
car will be removed safely. In Oakland, one person smash
car window is someone else's jewelry line. Local artisan Sidney
Jones has figured out a way to turn the Bay
Area's annoying break in problem into something beautiful. She collects
shattered safety glass from car windows and melts it down
to create jade green Floro style earrings sold through her
shop Odd Commodities. The material works in her favor. Car
window safety glasses designed to shatter into small still on chunks,
and when he did, it transforms into textured, almost gemstone
like pieces. That's become the backbone of her street revival collection.
Where does she get the glass? She shows up herself
with a broom and dustpan. When her neighbors report a
break in, people now actively contact her to come collect
the glass. Officers from the Laguna Beach Police Department responded
to report so someone camping out and drinking next to
a home. The police investigated the possible trespasser. It turned
out it was a mannekin. The suspect was decked out
in full disguise, hoodie, sunglasses, fake beard to blanket. It
was another prank. It's a prank episode of five Good
News Stories. Officers approached then realized they were dealing with
a plastic overachiever. The police reminds pranks are fine, but
anything that triggers emergency calls crosses the line pretty quickly.
That don't prank the PDE and those are your five
Good News stories for today. Have a great day.
