ninety two five WPAP by Jerry Pibus Electric, serving Panama
City and surrounding areas nights and weekends, Always available, truly
open twenty four to seven. Prompt experienced, trustworthy Electricians. Jerry
Pibus Electric eight five O seven eight four two seven
sixty six Monday Fun. There are six American cities that
(00:31):
have a volcano within city limits Portland, Oregon, Bend, Oregon, Jackson, Mississippi, Honolulu, Hawaii,
Prescott Valley, Arizona, and Austin, Texas.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Man stay on the outskirts of town, not in the
city limits. Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Well, if you're going to Ireland and you want to
catch a break on a pint, you can't because happy
hours have been banned in Ireland since two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
What have I've been to the Irish teachers how to
drink though? So now they're banning happy hour.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Oh if they've been doing it for a like twenty
one years.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Maybe they just sobered up. We don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Maybe Number three this is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It takes the same force of ripping seven pieces of
paper at a time to rip someone's ear off.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Good Gracie.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I want to know how they found that out. I
actually I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I just call Tyson. Just bite it off. He'll teach
you how to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
If you see vultures circling over a house, it's usually
because of a gas leak.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
A gas leak. See. I was always told that this
is true. I was always told if there were vultures
circling over a home that that person would pass within
the next few days. This is an old wife's tale,
But I've always heard that the vultures.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Will smell ethel mercaptain, which is added to the gas
to give it a smell, because normally.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
That gas is an odorless.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
They add that odor to it, and it's that smell
that comes from rotten meat, and the vultures will become
attracted to it.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You see what I'm saying about rotten meat? Yeah, you
see what I'm saying. I'm telling today.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Female ana condas will eat male ana condas after they mate,
and I'm creepy, so that they can survive the seven
months of fasting during pregnancy. See, once they get pregnant,
they won't eat, So.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
They got to eat a big meal.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Before that starts, and that's usually there, so they eat paramore.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
They eighth the daddy. I mean, see, and you're talking
about me being twisted and sick and dark. Poor little
male snakes don't even have a chance. I mean they
don't have a chance.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Tuesday, the US ranks second on a list of richest
countries in terms of natural resources.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Second.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Second.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
We have an estimated forty five trillion dollars in natural resources,
primarily cold timber, natural gas, and.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Gold and copper.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Russia is at number one, Saudi Arabia is third at
forty five.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Both of them get a big boost from their oil.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, if the sun exploded, it would take eight minutes
and twenty seconds for all of that energy to hit
us and.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Kill us all no, thank you, no thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Eight minutes when we see it go boom.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Three.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Indiana takes their high school basketball seriously. They have ten
of the twelve largest high school basketball gyms in the country.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So the gymnasium is like large, cute.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, the ten out of the twelve largest, the ones
that aren't in Indiana are in Texas and Illinois.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well, Texas, yeah, I understand there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Number So, the coldest inhabited place on earth is a
village called Eumyacon in Siberia, Russia. If you were to
go outside naked on an average day, you freeze to
death in one minute. And their lowest record temperature negative
ninety six degrees fahrenheit. The ground is so cold they
have to use bonfires to warm it up before they
have funerals. And most of their outhouses are they can't
(03:39):
have plumbing because they can't put pipes under the ground,
so all their bathrooms are like outhouses.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's cold, all going, right, But that's like a horror
movie in the making, right there. That's cold. Number one.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And John Tyler was the tenth president of the United
States back in eighteen forty one to eighteen forty five.
He passed away in eighteen sixty two, but believe it
or not, he still has a living grandson. Really, his
name was Ali Harrison Ruff and Tyler just turned ninety
six on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Well, his grandpa was president back in eighteen forty one.
Winsday years, Aristotle, Sir Isaac Newton, Moses Charles Darwin and
many other famous people who were thought to be geniuses
all had the same problem when it came to expressing themselves.
They all had a stutter, but they were able to
overcome it and do great wonderful things. Babe Ruth enjoyed hunting, fishing,
(04:32):
boxing and bowling. And of course we know him as
the famous baseball player, but his biggest athletic passion he
loved to play golf and played whatever he could. His
daughter Julia said in an interview that if it were
not for golf, he would not have known what to
do with himself after he retired from baseball. He liked
to go out there and hit those golf balls.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Three.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Every single solar eclipse lasts the same amount of time.
The solar eclipse last for seven minutes and thirty one seconds,
and that's because of the speed at which.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Earth moves around the Sun.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
N Two have you do you remember the statue by
Augusta Rodin that has become known as the Thinker. Well,
it wasn't meant to be just a portrait of a
man in thought. It's actually a portrait of the poet Dante,
and all the way down to verb one in the
NFL ties are not that common, especially these days, because
(05:23):
they do the coin toss and you know, try to
see who becomes the winner after that. The Chicago Bears
hold the record for the most ties though in a
single season, with six, which included three games in a row,
which is also a record that ended in a.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Tie Thursday, number five.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Wearing headphones for just an hour can increase the bacteria
in your ear by seven hundred times.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I wear headphones a lot for work. In fact, your
ear drum naturally bear the influx of bacteria in that
quantity naturally, so it can start to react by pain
or hearing loss. So make sure you're cleaning out those
headphones and your ears nuver full. There are more bald
eagles in the province of British Columbia than there are
in the whole United States. From early November through March,
(06:07):
thousands of bald eagles gather along the gravel shores of
the rivers around Vancouver to feast on the eggs and
carcasses of spawned out salmon. In nineteen ninety four, there
were an amazing three thy seven hundred and sixty six
eagles counted in one day that's set that world record.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Number three.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
A contronym is a word that can be its own opposite.
You've heard of pseudonyms and antonyms, but a contronym is
its own opposite. For example, the word left, it can
be mean to you departed somewhere, we left the building,
or it can be mean you remained there, like I
left my bag there, So it's its own opposite.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Two Pigeons have an incredible ability to remember human faces.
In fact, if you chase or feed a pigeon even
one time, it's going to remember you in the future,
whether to approach or run away. And finally number one,
when Nokia was founded in Finland, did you know Nokia
was from Finland? It was back in eighteen sixty five.
(07:11):
They made toilet paper and other paper products and they
didn't even get into communications until one hundred years later.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But that's what they're known for. But yeah, Nokia used
to make toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Friday, the black dots around your car windshield if you
ever noticed them around the edges, they're actually called fritz
fris and they're an enamel that's baked into the glass
and it eases the temperature transition from the black band
around the edge to the clear glass so that it
doesn't expand and crack. The black band needs to be
(07:43):
there because it blocks the UV light and protects the
glue that holds the windshield into place so it doesn't
pop out. So they're very important. Say hello and thank
you to the fritzl. In China, some cops prefer guard
geese over guard dogs. Yes, guard geese.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
They say.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Geese are more territorial and have better eye sight. But
I don't know how they'll do it taking down a criminal.
But it happens in China, so I'm not going to
investigate or question it too much. New York City has
a larger population than thirty eight states thirty eight out
of the fifty. That's how big New York City is.
There is a lot of people there. Let's do that again.
(08:23):
Number two is a little too low. Bears are very
smart and have been known to roll rocks into bear
traps to set off the trap so that the bear
could eat the bait in safety. So if you are
trying to trap a bear and there's a rock there,
it's because they're trying to outsmart you, and they're doing
a good.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Job about it.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And finally, it was so cold at Ulysses S. Grant's
presidential inauguration that the canaries that were supposed to sing, Yeah,
they had singing canaries at Grant's inauguration, they froze to death.
Sorry canaries, I'm sorry it was so cold.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
