Have you ever wondered what the greatest pet would be? Are you basic and saying it's a dog or a cat? Well, listen up, and maybe you'll learn a thing or two. The answer is a baboon. Travel back to the 19th century and the tale of a disabled railway worker and his pet baboon that worked the tracks alongside his owner. Warm your heart knowing that this primate and man were best of friends, often being seen holding one another's hand. Hold back the tears learning how tuberculosis took away another angel from this world too early. Listen to the tale of signalman Jack right here in this episode of Fast Facts. Were on the sprint to forty, my friend, and every topic I've been struggling to make a fuller, more robust episode on, I'm throwing in the pot and doing it anyway. After all, this is a trivia show, and if you pay attention, you may learn which genus of the old world monkey a baboon is. Hint: it's Papio. O and I use Princess Diana as a transition. Because she's the only royal, I think anyone should care about besides the Queen because she campaigned for something honorable. We care about the Queen because she's living history. I really don't get the fascination with the royal family, but c'est la vie. P.S. I left a blooper in the middle of this because I made myself giggle, and I was smiling for a while. The bit just sounded weird having the tonality change without it.
