9
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.039
guess it's because the holiday season is fast approaches and
10
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.799
things can get a little hectic and crazy. But why
11
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.560
not spend a day giving out hugs Today it's cold,
12
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.079
so people won't be all sweaty. Now, hugs are cool.
13
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.600
They can strengthen the bond between two people. It definitely
14
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.400
cheers somebody up, but needs it gets a muss when
15
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.000
you're trying to make up. Now, hugs they release hormones
16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.560
and lower your blood pressure. Hug is actually short for
17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.319
an Norse term, yeah, hugger. It means to comfort. So
18
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.280

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.720
had a forty foot inflatable pig flying over a power station.
63
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.680
Well it was ted under ground, but it broke loose. Yeah,
64
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.480
the pig made a run for it got up to

about eighteen thousand feet. A call went out to out
66
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.959
pilots flying over England by the Aircraffic Control said to
67
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.560
watch out for a big flying pig. Another pig made
68
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.199
it thirty seven miles before it landed. Now, the day
69
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.040
before was when they were actually doing the shoot and ban.
70
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:03.879
They actually had a marksman there, so if something happened,
71
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.759
they were going to shoot the pig down. But they
72
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.600
didn't have any problems. And then during the night they
73
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.000
said we you know, we needed a couple more pictures
74
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.079
and they didn't want to pay that marksman. Again, Well,
75
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:12.519
I don't know how you get a job as a

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.800

81
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.160
why you really rarely ever see festival seating now, Yeah,
82
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.360
