Good evening lions and lionesses, this is TLKN, and I'm your host, Rafiki the mandrill, live from his baobab tree.
To all you anglers out there: BEHOLD! For the fish of your dreams HAS BEEN CAUGHT!
The world record common Carp was hooked and landed on December the 17th 2006 by Dieter Markus Stein, fishing a German water and the weigh in of the fish was witnessed by 14 different people from local Carp fishing clubs. No word on if this monster has been set free again.
Some people will do ANYTHING to get a fix... of video games. We all know of the European man who spent 80 grand obtaining a sony PS3, but would you be willing to DIE for a system? WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
10 employees in cluding the host of their morning show, were suspended from work (at KDND-FM) when they hosted a contest, "Hold your wee for a Wii". [Name withheld], age 28, DIED after taking part in the contest, due to water intoxication. Contestants who took part in the contest were urged to see how much they could drink before having to go to the bathroom. Each contestant was given wo minutes to drink 8 oz. [225ml] of water and then given a ten minute break before drinking another. Witnesses say [name withheld] drank at least 2 GALLONS [7.5 litres] during the contest. Afterwards, she called in sick to work, and was found dead at her home five hours later. As the autopsy indecated, she died of water intoxication, a process in which drinking too much fluid upsets the body's balance of electrolytes, causing brain swelling, which leads to seisures, coma, or even death. [Name withheld] had been seen showing off pictures of her two sons and daughter, whom she was hoping to win the system for.
And to round out our broad cast for the evening, TLKN will end on a happier note:
Jan. 15, 2007, Georges, and georgette herbert celebrated their 79th anniversary, defending France's Romantic reputation. It is estimated over 1/3 of marriges end in devorce in france, but this couple was able to beat the odds. Percy and Florence Arrowsmith, a british couple, had previously set the world record for longest marrage, at 80 years Percy being 105, and Florence being 100. Sadly, florence died shortly after their 80th anniversary. The herberts are now one of the oldest couples alive. They do have children, their younest being 56, and their oldest being 68. In 1929, when the herberts tied the knot, they lived in Normandy france. Although they don not have pleasant memories of the wedding, they have opted to stay there. "The wedding ceremony was not a lavish affair. We were not rich. Said Georgette. "We lived a simple life," she said "A hard life." The two were married in a church, "Same as everyone else." Instead of wine, they had cider to drink, and for the meal, they had rabbit stew and prunes.
Thank you lions and lionesses. This is TLKN, and I'm your host, Rafiki the mandrill urging you to stay safe, sane, and healthy. Good night.
