I've got that story for you coming up. Let's kick off the morning with today's Question Impossible, your question. The only genuine freshwater sharks in the world can be found where? Again, the only genuine freshwater sharks in the world can be found where? I'll have the answer for that coming up here in just a bit. Right now, though, it's time for today's Weird, Wacky, Strange, Zany, Odd, Bizarre, quirky, unusual holidays. Today is Tuesday, July 25, 2017. You have 152 shopping days until Christmas. Today is the birthday of the birthday cake. It's also National Hot Fudge Sunday Day, as if you need an excuse. You would think that would come on to Sunday, but no. Also, National Salad Week, which goes terribly with the hot fudge and birthday cake. Today is Be Adamant about something day. You know, like about getting that hot fudge Sunday. And it's Parents' Day, paying tribute to parents whose devotion to their children strengthens our society and forms the foundation for a bright future for our country. Now, I mean, that's all well and good. It's a feel-good type of thing. But haven't we already covered this? We've got Mother's Day and Father's Day, so that covers Parents' Day, right? So it's kind of redundant. Plus, we have Grandparents' Day, which is essentially just Parents' of Parents' Day. I don't know why we need a Parents' Day. But also, today is Feed the Country Duck's Day. Now, that either means to feed the ducks when you're out in the country or to feed our entire nation duck for dinner.

Well, it is now backed by science. A Harvard study confirms that being kind to other people, it's contagious. It's benefiting all of us, so be good for goodness sake. Study participants, they played a public goods game in which one person gave money to other people. And the players didn't know each other before the game, and they never played it more than once with the same person. Well, despite their lack of personal connections, the players' generosity in the first round was tripled by others who were influenced to show even further kindness by giving more money. The conclusion was that when folks are the recipient of generous acts, they pay it forward, creating a domino effect of increasing kindness. Among other fascinating findings by the study's researchers, Harvard University physician Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler, a social scientist at the University of California, San Diego, they say that happiness, loneliness and obesity also have a contagious effect. Hey, by the way, just read this this morning, news of a newly discovered galaxy. We'll have that for you coming up. And Justin Bieber, he has been banned from China in order to purify the nation. Hey, you know what? We need purification too, don't we? I mean, it could be worth a try. You know, just just saying the most significant event on the internet today. We got the birthday wrap up coming your way here in just a bit. Hey, I'm Darren Marlar. Welcome to the Darren Marlar radio show. Researchers say they may have discovered the tomb of King Tut's wife. She was the one who really wore the pants in Egypt. Hey, scientists, they've discovered another galaxy located four billion light years from Earth, the hidden dwarf dark galaxy. It was discovered by astrophysicists at Stanford. Researchers, they used a technique called gravitational lensing to discover this new galaxy. And they say the process, it could help researchers also learn about other hidden parts of the universe. But you know, here we're talking about the speed of light. And even then, it would still take you four billion years to get there. So you better be sure to use the restroom before you leave and you might want to pack a lunch. Hey, I'm Darren Marlar. Welcome to the show that white Ford Bronco, in which the famous OJ Simpson Chase took place. Well, it's now in the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee, at least for now. The juice is going to need a vehicle to travel between golf courses when he gets out in October. It's the birthday wrap up for Tuesday, July 25th, celebrating birthdays today from the single guy, Kate Fear, good fellas, actress, Ileana Douglas is 52. Also model slash actress, Iman, she's 62 today. You might remember her from Star Trek six, the undiscovered country. She was also in a phenomenal film called No Way Out with Kevin Costner. And from Lost in Space episodes, Man with a Plan. We all know him best as Joey from Friends. Matt LeBlanc is 50. If you like scary stories, well, you can check out my weekend show. It's Weird Darkness, and you can find that at WeirdDarkness.com. I'm Darren Marlar. Do you think plants commit suicide? I know that sounds kind of dumb, but you could probably guess the answer to that, just by me asking you the question. I'll give you the details, though, coming up in just a few minutes. Speaking of questions, our question impossible question. The only genuine freshwater sharks in the world can be found where? Well, the answer is the Ganges River in India. Well, Louisiana man, he has been arrested and booked into the same jail now for the 77th time. This time he was caught when he got stuck in the chimney of a business. I shouldn't there be some kind of limit on how many times you can get arrested, you know, without being confined to house arrest with an ankle monitor and an electrified fence. Denied. Unit 12, there's a break in at the Acme Warehouse. The real life story of men and women on the side of law and order. Hey, Bill, shouldn't we go check out that break in? Nah, that man will get it. Cops in Gotham City. Hey, look, that guy's munging that old lady. Let's get him. Nah, that man will save her. Follow the uniformed officers of Gotham City on an average night. It was a nice night. Didn't you didn't you just hear that explosion? Yeah, I did. You wanna go get some donuts? Well, shouldn't we go? Nah, Batman's already there. Oh, yeah. Cops in Gotham City. Bad boys, bad boys.

What would happen if Noah's Ark was being built for the first time today in 2017? How do you think the neighbors would respond? I'll have that story for you coming up in our moment of duh on the way. So can plants commit suicide? Well, you think it's a joke, but no, when provoked beyond their endurance, plants are quite capable of committing suicide according to a recent study. The findings they were discovered by cell biologists and biochemists at Vienna University in Austria. And the researchers found that when plant life is threatened by either animals or infection, they deliberately sacrifice parts of themselves. It's often a wrong assumption that immense heat or ozone kills a plant, explains study leader, Andreas Bachbär. Most of the time, plants create a special program that themselves to save what can be saved. So despite the voluntary death of certain parts of the plant, it remains alive in its core. So it doesn't actually commit suicide. But apparently it kind of maims itself in order to survive. Dude, listen, listen, listen. What's your name? Darren Marlar.

It's time for today's moment of duh. And for decades now, many residents of Frostburg, Maryland, they've been puzzled and annoyed at this three story high 400 foot long metal and concrete frame that Pastor Richard Green calls his modern Noah's Ark. Pastor Green said the idea came to him in a vision during 1976 and he works on this thing in his spare time while awaiting Judgment Day. Some neighbors are patient, but others call the Ark an eyesore that depresses property values and wastes religious charity money. So far, contributions to the Pastor Green Ark project have totaled a million dollars. I would think as a pastor, he should know that God promised in the Bible never to flood the planet ever again. Near research predicts that in 65 billion years, the moon is going to crash into the earth. I am glad I just renewed my homeowner's insurance. I might not know how to tangle, but I know how to man dance. I think you're a little confused I'm Darren Marlar and Gerardo Gonzalez. He is very depressed right now. It seems that taxes are getting the best of him too, but even more so than the rest of us. I'll have that story for you coming up. I'm Darren Marlar and Apple has shared some of the new emojis that they're planning on releasing later this year and they include a zombie, T-Rex, Zebra, Mind Blown, Vomit, Yoga, and breastfeeding. An emoji for breastfeeding. How often is that emoji needed and who was clamoring for that one? The UFO and Paranormal College have opened in Russia in response to a rash of unexplained crop circles in the region. The faculty says that they're qualified to teach the course because they have video footage featuring the type of UFO called Belgian triangles, which they say are frequent visitors to their city. No, that's like saying I'm qualified to teach a course on time travel because I own all of the back to the future DVDs.

Well, a homemade license plate, it leads police to a criminal individual in today's brain-on-drug story, but first, this story. Gerardo Gonzalez. He is a very depressed guy right now and I don't blame him. The IRS says that Mr. Gonzalez owes the government $16,000 in back taxes. I mean, that's painful just to hear, isn't it? Well, the IRS loses a little credibility on this story because they also say that Gerardo was working in 12 cities all at the same time. Well, that has not stopped them though. They're still withholding $3,000 from this poor guy's paychecks to pay the tax bill. According to the IRS, Mr. Gonzalez worked simultaneously in Arkansas, Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland, and Tennessee. Well, after much explaining the IRS, the Social Security Administration, and the FBI, they're now finally convinced that, okay, well, yeah, maybe he wasn't working in all those states at the same time. Gosh, really? Well, they've concluded that other people must be using his Social Security number, so they've canceled the debt and will return his money. Gerardo, though, isn't so sure that this matter is over, and while knowing our government, I don't blame him for thinking that, so just in case the IRS comes back, he's actually sold his car because he doesn't want the government to repossess it. It must be true because I heard it on the radio. It must be true. It must be true.

Mitchell Rawlerson of Seville, Florida, he was arrested by Seminole County Sheriff's deputies on his 16th drunk driving charge, as well as driving on a permanently revoked license and other charges. What first drew their attention was not his erratic driving, but the fact that the license plate on his van was hand-drawn. He couldn't stay inside the lines on the license plate or on the road, apparently. A recent study found that women find stubble more attractive than any other kind of facial hair and even more than a clean shaven face. Researchers theorize it's because scruff makes a dude look more mature. However, ladies, this does not work the other way around. We do not think your leg stubble is sexy.

Saturday Night Live is still in morning. Useless fact. Hey, good news! Scientists have found a way of stopping beans from causing gas. Supposedly, a short burst of gamma radiation before soaking the beans does the trick. One of the unfortunate side effects, though, is that you can't sleep at night because your eyelids glow in the dark. Thanks for listening to the Darren Marlar Radio Show. I'm Darren Marlar.
