ODD NEWS FROM AROUND T Idaho Dive team finds lost iPhone with alarm still sounding in Idaho river
Tom Adams said he and his wife, Marlo, were kayaking on the Snake River when his boat overturned causing him to lose his phone, keys and wallet into the fast-moving waters. Adams contacted the Bingham County Search and Rescue Dive Team, which agreed to help look for his lost property as a training exercise. "They use opportunities like this to practice and get more dive time in to prepare for the real calls, and more important events such as lifesaving," Adams told the East Idaho News. "Many members of the dive team met at the boat ramp, geared up, and hit the water. Because of the current, they had to use a safety line." Adams said it took about 20 minutes of searching before one of the divers surfaced with his keys and his iPhone -which was still sounding an alarm. "It was still alarming from my Sunday morning wake-up call reminder," Adams said.

The resident of Washington, D.C., identified only as “Jackie,” said she wore the shirt to 264 remote meetings between April 2, 2020, and June 16, 2021. “I was like, wouldn’t it be funny if I wore this shirt again? Like that’d be a funny joke and everyone would say something,” she said. Sadly, no one said anything. “And then I thought, well, I’m going to keep doing this until someone notices, and no one ever noticed,” she said. Keeping the gag going despite the lack of reaction wasn’t easy, Jackie said. “I had some real ups and downs. Like the first month, I was like, this is really funny. Then it’d be like, oh, I’m still wearing this. And then it’d be funny again,” she said. Jackie finally spilled the beans about her shirt on her last day of work.The reaction was ... not what she expected. “When I told my team that I had been wearing the same shirt, they didn’t know what I was talking about. They hadn’t noticed,” she said. “The intern literally said, ‘On purpose?’ So, there’s that,” Jackie said.
