TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Father Son Fishing Trip Turns Into Rescue Mission

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Father Son Fishing Trip Turns Into Rescue Mission

It’s boat season which means a lot of people are heading out on the ocean for fishing, partying, and sailing. Along with that comes the occasional scary moments.

This happened down off the coast of North Caroline. A father and son were out fishing on their boat when they came across another boat which was heading right for them about to collide. They tried getting the attention of the driver but quickly realized that no one was behind the wheel. They started to follow the boat and pulled up next to it. The son jumped on board and discovered there was nobody on the boat at all. Totally empty.

They assumed at that point someone had fell off into the water, so they started searching the area and sure enough came across a guy in the open ocean. They pulled him up out of the water and saved his life.

Incredible. Stay safe on those waters this summer everyone.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does the “e” in Chuck E. Cheese stand for?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does the “e” in Chuck E. Cheese stand for?

We all grew up going to a Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party, having that delicious glistening cheese pizza and watching an animatronic animal band play live. But today’s mystery… what does the “E” in the name stand for?

As you probably guessed the name of the mascot mouse in the logo is “Cheese” but his full name is actually Charles Entertainment Cheese. Cheese being his last name and the E standing for Entertainment.

I believe there are still a few locations open here in CT. I might have to go this weekend.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two People On Parade Float Saves Man’s Life

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two People On Parade Float Saves Man’s Life

This is definitely something to think about next time you’re at a parade here in Connecticut.

Over the Fourth of July weekend two members of a martial arts crew were on a float in a parade near St. Louis. They noticed a man in the crowd who looked to be in trouble so they stopped their float to check on him and ended up saving the guy’s LIFE! He apparently was having a heart attack, and he didn’t have a pulse. Luckily they were trained and started doing CPR. They had him breathing again by the time paramedics showed up. Now he’s doing okay.

I’m definitely going to think of this next time I’m at a parade… “Which one of these floats can save my life if needed?”

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What makes mosquitos bite us?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What makes mosquitos bite us?

It’s summertime which means it’s also feeding season for mosquitos. But what makes a mosquito want to bit us humans anyway?

There are a few interesting factors that attract these summer pain in the neck’s to certain people. First is that mosquitoes like biting people with type O blood more than any other blood type.  So if you’re type O… watch out. Some other things to keep in mind that they’re attracted to are sweat, having alcohol in your bloodstream, being pregnant, and oddly… wearing black, dark blue, or red.

Can someone pass the bug spray and citronella candles?
