Today's Wacky But True:
Mary Hannaby found this 500 year-old solid gold pendant with her metal detector last week. The pendant features the holy trinity and experts estimate that it is from the 15th Century. They have estimated its worth at $412,000! Under the law, museums have the first opportunity to purchase any artifact over 300 years old. Since many museums are struggling to survive financially, Mary has the opportunity to sell it at an auction house for even more. Get out the metal detector ... like Mary, you too may be surprised to find something of great value!

In one family's Kansas City, Missouri, neighborhood, it is illegal to shoot fireworks, so the neighbors called the authorities when one family decided to celebrate the 4th of July with explosives. When the police arrived, one individual decided to hide the fireworks in the oven where they were quickly forgotten. Later the next day, the oven was turned on to prepare dinner - you can imagine what happened next. The kitchen was blown to pieces! The walls were blown out and the oven was propelled through one of the walls. Flying glass caused some minor injuries, but thankfully no one was seriously injured! Charges were not filed since the police thought the injuries lesson alone. Another good reason to leave the fireworks to professionals!

Wacky But True: The 7 a.m. "Wacky But True" story featured these new "Smart Goggles" designed by scientists at the University of Tokyo. They have a built-in camera, computer, and display screen. You put them on and wander around looking at various things you might want to find later, saying the names out loud. For instance, if you misplace your keys, you put on the "Smart Gogges" and say the name "keys." The goggles recall the last time they saw them and show you where they were. But what happens when you can't remember where you put your goggles? This is technology, the benefits of which, remain "to be seen."
