(Begin episode transcript) Hi Friends, I'm Scott. This is What a Weird Week where we catch you up on the weird news of the week. For transcript/ shownotes/ podcast stuff see www.shownotes.page! Here's Season 5, Episode 14 first published on Friday 5 April 2024... ❿ Number 10 this week is from Hoops Hooper, the Weird News Guru at UPI. It's a story about something that happened a few weeks ago to this family in Naples, Florida. Alejandro Otero was on the news. Wink News interviewed him about the weird thing that happened. The headline is "Object that crashed through Florida roof may have come from the International Space Station."
... ❾ From India Today, the story of a bear that escaped a zoo. It's been a
little while since we had a bear story. We've featured bears ringing
doorbells and waiting for people to answer the door so they could eat
them. That's what I theorize. The bears are certainly sneaky and
intelligent you guys (based on the news articles that we've featured).
So this one from India Today broke on April the first and it's always
hard to trust a news story that comes out on April the first, but this
one appears to be legit about a zoo in India where the bear escaped...
and listen to what happened... they had like a storm... a windstorm and a
tree falls and it fell in such a way in the bear's enclosure that the
bear was able to use that tree, that fallen tree trunk, to climb to
freedom... ❽ It's another one from Hoops Hooper, a story that came out last fall,
but Hoops did an article on it this week. Coin tosses. This one didn't
get a lot of coverage when it came out in the fall, but the research
indicates, well, it's game-changing research. Literally game-changing
research, because apparently when you flip a coin, it's not 50-50 odds... ❼ Kyle, Texas back in the news. We talked about this before. For the
last five years, Kyle Texas has been attempting to set a world record
with their gathering of Kyles. And the record is people with the same
name in the same place, the most people with the same name in the same
place at once... ❻ Eclipse Flavored Sun Chips in the news...
The promotion department
at SunChips® has got the brand in the news with a limited-edition
flavor that will be given away during the total eclipse... which is 4
minutes and 27 seconds... the new flavor is Solar Eclipse
Limited-Edition Pineapple Habanero and Black Bean Spicy Gouda. Yum? From
the press release: " Beginning at 1:33 p.m. CT on April 8, as the
eclipse casts its shadow over U.S. soil, eager fans can get their hands
on the new flavor at SunChipsSolarEclipse.com while supplies last." ... ❺ This is the weirdest snake story you're going to hear all week.
A
pet snake that had been missing for a year then shows up... and how it
showed up... and where it showed up is Absolutely Bonkers. This is a
story out of the UK. The snake is named Agnus. Agnus the pet corn snake
which had been missing for a year and then turned up on top of the
neighbor's garage after it was dropped by a crow. After a year, the
snake gets dropped by a crow onto the neighbor's garage!? Like, what? ... This is from ABC7. Another mysterious thing in the sky... the headline:
"Streaking lights that lit up SoCal night sky were caused by Chinese
space junk reentry, experts say." For a while, people didn't know what
the heck was going on in the sky above them. When you see the footage,
it looks like a shooting star or something like that, except it doesn't
burn out. It just goes and goes and goes. So of course... therefore
aliens. It looked like multiple fireballs and people got some great
footage... a number of people thought it was space debris from a SpaceX
launch... that was ruled out upon more investigation... People online
are pretty much now saying it was space junk from a Chinese space
module... (character limit!) for the rest see https://www.scottyandtony.com/2024/04/what-weird-week-for-fri-apr-5-2024-ten.html
