Brazilian
police took a parrot into custody after he was believed to be
conspiring with his drug-dealing owner who had been busted twice
before. When police arrived for the drug raid, the parrot repeatedly
warned his owner, “Mummy, police.” Although the warning calls
were loud and clear during the wild drug bust, no matter how many
crackers they offered the parrot during further interrogation, the
bird remained silent. The parrot will live out the remainder of his
days behind bars at the Teresina Zoo.

Are you a member of a book club? If anyone in your club listens to the audio version do other make them feel guilty for “cheating?” University of Virginia psychologist Daniel Willingham was asked the “cheating” question fairly often, especially since he published a book on the science of reading. Growing tired of the question he wrote a blog post addressing it. If, he argued, you take the question from the perspective of cognitive psychology — that is, the mental processes involved — there is no real difference between listening to a book and reading it. So, according to that understanding of the question: No, audiobooks are not cheating. “Cheating” with an audio book suggests that the listener got some reward without putting in the work. But Willingham said that’s not true. Researchers have studied the question of comprehension for decades, and “what you find is very high correlations of reading comprehension and listening comprehension.”

Sharks
existed before trees. Trees are young'ns compared to the geezer
sharks that rule the sea. Sharks have existed for around 400 million
years, while trees became their own official species only 350 million
years ago. Other notable animals that outlive our leafy ancestors are
the horseshoe crab as well as the jellyfish.

Authorities in Oklahoma were called to a report of "a body in the river," but when they reached the "corpse," they discovered that the swimmer was very much alive... and merely relaxing in the shallow water. In a Twitter post, the Tulsa Fire Department said that crews responded alongside the Tulsa Police Department and EMS when callers reported "a body in the river." "We launched a boat and discovered that the man was just lying in the water," the tweet said. A video included in the post shows the man sitting up when firefighters reached him and started checking for signs of life. (https://bit.ly/3z8KFmk)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by BetterResultsAdvertising.com
A
Washington, DC, man was busted with a homemade “ghost gun”
minutes after he showed the firearm on Instagram. The social media
maven, identified as Ryan Parker in a criminal complaint obtained
Tuesday by the Daily Beast, allegedly showed off his 9mm handgun —
which he had personally converted to fire fully automatically —
during an Instagram Live broadcast Saturday. The footage depicted a
suspect police say is Parker wearing a black hoodie and a blue
medical face mask inside a vehicle while holding the gun in his left
hand. “The handgun had a green lower receiver with a black string
tied around it and a silver slide,” the complaint reads. “Attached
to the firearm was a black drum magazine.” The firearm also had a
blue “giggle switch,” an after-market accessory that makes a
semi-automatic handgun capable of fully automatic firing —
effectively making it a machine gun. Parker aimed the weapon that
appeared to be a “fully functional handgun” directly at the
camera during his live broadcast, which was spotted by a Metropolitan
Police Department officer. Parker, who was known to cops and
frequently hung out near the Fort Chaplin Apartments in northeast DC,
was taken into custody “within minutes” of ending his Instagram
broadcast. (https://bit.ly/3CI3cYJ)
