Strange News

 Hello Listeners! 

I came across a few strange news articles that I wanted to share with everyone.

I ran across a story I couldn't believe. In 1959 the US built a nuclear powered merchant ship, the NS Savanah. It was the only ship ever designed to transport passengers and it did starting in 1961 when they powered up the 74 MW reactor. Anyone could buy a ticket and they did! 60 guests plus crew could travel at any one time. The rest of the space was taken up by cargo. It also had a swimming pool and surgical bay. Within a few years the vessel would stop carrying passengers but still continued to operate through the 1970s. The ship is on display in a Baltimore port, so if you're in the area take a tour!

In other news a woman in France was enjoying coffee with a friend when she heard a loud boom. A few moments later she was struck in the chest by what she at first thought was a bat. When she found a small stone-like object she thought it might be part of the cement tile from her roof. At some point she identified it for what it was. She had been struck by a meteorite! Someone take this woman to Vegas.

And finally in otherworldly news a singer by the name of Brocarde is divorcing her husband, who happens to be the ghost of a Victorian soldier. Edwardo and Brocarde fell in love immediately and were quickly married in a small church on Halloween in 2022. Unfortunately her husband became drunk and violent on their honeymoon and the relationship ended shortly thereafter. Best of luck to both. 

Thanks for reading and until next time - keep it strange!
