Greetings! Good evening lions and lionesses, this is TLKBN's broadcast for tonight. I'm your host, Rafiki the mandrill, welcoming you to our special double lenght feature.
Do you like legos? I do too. I like to build cool stuff, and I'm sure people find wierd things to make:
Apperantly, these guns are so realistic, they were used to rob a liquor store. They are undoubtably realistic, [the one on the right]
and the one on the left even fires very strong projectiles-
Rubber bands. While they aren't meant to be used as a weapon, some people will be stupid enough to shoot each other with the ruber band model;this is strongly advised AGAINST by the people who make them, using geniune legos.
Price:$55 for the instructions and parts.
Do you need a massage? Try look up Mrs. Ada Barak.
Clients at a Mr. Ada Barak's spa in northern Israel has invented a new, exotic way of treating his patients: Having 6, very lively, nonpoisonous SNAKES slither and hiss their way across a customer's sore muscles/joints. For 300 shekels, ($70) clients can have California and Florida Kings, corn, and milk snakes slither on them. "I'm actually afriad of snakes, but their therapuetic effects are really good." Says Liz Cohen, after Barak let the snakes loose on her body. Barak was inspired by the fact that once people got over any misgivings, they found phsical contact with the creatures soothing.
Some people like big snakes. Some people like ferocious gaurd dogs. Obviously, the two don't mix;
Kuala lumper, malaysia. Orchard owner ALi Yusof's guard dogs have met their match: a Whopping 23 ft. long [7.1 metres] python! The snake ate 11 poor dogs before it was captured by villagers. The massive snake was as big around as a tree trunk, and was almost long enough to span the width of a tennis court. Villagers did not harm the snake, they just tied it to a tree and handed it over to wildlife officials. "I was shocked to see such a large snake," Said Yusof.
Ladies:How much do you love your husband? Would you face an evil death kitty of doom to save him?

San Fransisco, an elderly woman was credited with saving her husband's life. Jim and Nell Hamm were hiking Prarie Creek Redwoods National Park when they were set upon by a mountain lion, who attacked and got Jim by the face. "He didn't scream. It was a different, horrible plea for help, and by then, the cat had wrestled Jim to the ground," Nell said as she awaited the recovery of her husband, who suffered a torn scalp, puncture wounds and other injuries. After the attack, the warden had the park closed indefinetly, and a search party was organised. Their target was the mountian lions, and two were found, shot and killed. Their bodies were sent to forensics to see if either were the ones that attacked. Though both are experienced hikers, neither had seen a mountain lion before the attack. Nell used a 4 inch wide log to beat it off.
I like BBQ. Who doesn't? The only problem is, smoking food and smoking food are easy to mix up....
Bert's BBQ caught fire early Thursday, gutting the entire resturant. A short in a circut breaker was found to be the cause of the fire. Several people had called in, warning of the smoke and smells, yet dispatch chose not to act the several times. Claiming that BBQ resturants normally smoked things over night, and other such normal explainations, no fire fighting team was sent to check it out. It wasn't untill a man called in and said that the place "Smelled like burning wood, a lot of it." That a fire team was sent to investigate. By that time, the resturant was visibly engulfed in flames, which prompted a 2 alarm response. Gary Johnson's family, who've owned the establishment for 37 years is shocked by the lack of response, and aren't sure of what they will do next. The cost in damages is estimated to be about $300,000. The fire cheif has said that it was an error of judgement, and there was no word on if anyone was injured in the fire, or if the dispatch agent will face disiplinary action.
Do you ever have trouble remembering things? If you are this man, there is nothing that can escape your memory:
Mark Umile has officially broken the world record for remebering the most digits in the number sequence "Pi" which we all know is 3.14. He was able to remember 12,887 digits, by figureing the problem by hand, writing down the results 1,000 at a time and memorzing them. His wife is very proud, who could not remeber a phone number. The record for figuring out Pi was set in china, at 67,890 digits. His accomplishment eclipsed the American record of 10,980 digits.
We love hide and seek, the time honored classic played by those who are young, old, and extremely bored. But, can it be fatal?
2 year old Anthony Pena was found dead in a plastic container Thursday. The last time he was seen alive by his 24 year old mother was 9 p.m. Wednesday evening. She had tucked him and two older siblings into their beds and says he and his older brothers got out of bed to play hide and seek. Apparently, the older broth helped him into a plastic container, and forgot him there, going to sleep. When they woke the next morning, you Anthony was found dead. The children have been removed, untill his death can be determined in autopsy.
"Rest, sweet child, for you are in a better place now. Here lies a little soul so pure, God could not bare being away from him any longer."
Parents:Do you trust your district to keep safe your kids?
Coloumbs, Ohio. Schools have cancelled their classes owing to the fact that a driver was caught and arrested for carrying cocaine. Why is this bad? The school districts have realized they have not conducted backround checks for any of their school bus drivers sice 2004. They will have resumed class today. The decision affected 56,000 students.
And last but not least:
Mulch. Yes, mulch. Here in Texas a mulch dump had a pile intentionally set on fire. The resulting fire quickly spread, and has been expected to burn into March/April, around the time of early December of last year. Firefighters cannot attack the fire, as it burns underneath the surface of the piles in some places. Effort has been made, but every attempt at controlling it has ended in miserable failure. The mayor has declared a state of emergency in the county, untill the fire is put out. A new plan has arose: Push heaps of burning mulch into clay lined pits, for easier firefighting techniqes to be put into effect. Traditional water dousing techniques were tried, they were indefinitely stopped, due to numerous complaints of loacals saying their water smelled and tasted of smoke. Water was thought to leak into private wells, which posed a health hazard. No word yet on if the new plan will work.
Thank you, lions and lionesses, this has been TLKBN's extended broadcast. I'm Rafiki the mandrill, urging you to stay safe, sane and busy. Once again, this is Rafiki the mandrill. Good night.
