Good morning, this is TLK news, and I'm your host, Rafiki the mandrill.
Animal lovers, ever dream of having your own pet penguin?
A fake american website (name withheld for the safety of our viewers) has fooled some people into thinking they were buying one of seven varieties of penguin, said to be farmed in New Zealand. An American woman (name withheld to protect what's left of her dignity) bought a large, portable swiming pool for the penguin, and had it installed in her home, ready to recieve the animal. She grew suspicious when the company had not replied to any of her messages, and the New Zealand S.A.F.E. (save animals from exploitation) campaign director downplayed fears that New Zealand's standing as a humane country is at risk.
On our health segment, TLK news strongly urges our viewers to be healthy, and have regular mammograms, especialy our femal viewer.
A new study suggest that women who do more house work have a reduced risk for breast cancer (no joke). Experts have long known regular exercise helps prevent breast cancer, yet it is still unclear exactly what types of house work help prevent B.C. the most. Dr. Lesley Walker of Cancer Research UK said: "We already know that women who keep a healthy weight are less likely to develop breast cancer. "This study suggests that being physically active may also help reduce the risk and that something as simple and cheap as doing the housework can help." He recommends men and women take regular exercise and maintain a healthy body weight to help prevent cancer.
The research is published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention.
And finally, our final story takes place in california (as if this entire broad cast wasn' tnuts, it gets better).
Witnesses say a man stood out front of a county courthouse on Thursday. He was appearantly protesting the city's changing the name of Winter and Spring breaks to Christmas and Easter breakes. How you ask? HE LIT HIMSELF AND A CHRISTMAS TREE ON FIRE. He wrapped his body in an American flag and a replica of the revolutionary flag (Don't ask) and doused himself in flammable liquids. He was holding a sign saying "Expletive religious freedom and the silent KHSD." They believe the last part is in reference to K*** High school district. People say he burned for about 30 seconds before a county court house worker and a deputy sheriff were able to extinguish him using blankets and a fire extinguisher.
Thank you ladies and gentleman, that concludes this morning's broadcast. I'm your host, Rafiki the mandrill, urging you to stay sane and be normal, or chances are you'll end up in our coverage section at some point. ( )
