(00:00):
Let's cheer you up. Yeah.So, a World War Two vet with
no surviving relatives turned one hundred andfive on Friday, and he got more
than three thousand birthday cards from wellwishers. So Ernest Horsefall served as a
staff sergeant with the Royal Electrical andMechanical Engineers during World War Two. As
his birthday was coming near, theRoyal British Legion issued an appeal for birthday

(00:24):
cards for him. Ernest was supershocked at the number of cards he got
in the mail for his birthday.He said, I say thank you to
you all. I'm utterly surprised,in a maze at the number of greeting
cards that came my way. AndFred I didn't know this, but he
was flying all the way up untilhe was ninety three. Are you allowed
to do I don't think you cando that in the military. I don't,
he said, Well, I don'tknow. If it was privately,

(00:44):
you can, Yeah, you canas long as you pass medical. You
can not in the military, butI think there's a retirement age in the
military. But yeah, as acivilian you can fly as long as you
have avowed medical. Yeah, itsays he was unensurable at the age of
ninety three as a pilot. So, oh my gosh. But he kept
his little aircraft until he was onehundred and one. So I thought you'd
like that. I think we're allgonna love this story. A groundbreaking contraceptive

(01:10):
pill for men is right around thecorner. Scientists have identified a gene that,
once removed, temporarily renders sperm infertile. So the potentially historic breakthrough contraceptive
pill would also have no hormonal sideeffects and could be additionally used on animals
to quell overpopulation and replace castrations inanimals. I guess. So the research

(01:34):
team discovered a protein and coded bythis gene found solely in the testicular tissue
of most mammals, which reduced spermcounts and deformed remaining sperm to make them
incapable of fertilizing an egg. Winaltered. Well damn. So yeah,
I guess, I guess you takethis pill. And I mean they have
various methods that they've discussed over theyears, like with injections in the pepe

have said that that there is apill and that men won't take it because
of the side effects. I've neverbeen able to verify that. The I
think you told me that Paulina wasit. Well, there is a pill.
Men won't take it because they criedand stuff, or like the side

(02:21):
effects weren't great and women deal withside effects all the time. If that's
true, that's messed up. I'venever been able to verify that though,
Yeah I might, but I feelyeah, I think I would take it
and cry. Yeah, this newone has no side effects. How come
they didn't do that with ours?I don't know. Okay, because you
