Good morning, guys, Jenny here with some amazing stuff

:00:00.:00:07.

The mystery of the sunken Lego ship that's washing up real

:00:08.:00:12.

And, why fist-bumping's better for you than a handshake.

:00:13.:00:17.

NASA's Mars rover, Opportunity, has broken the record for travel

:00:18.:00:30.

The vehicle has clocked up 25 miles on Mars since it touched

:00:31.:00:37.

The American Space Agency said the rover was never meant to drive

:00:38.:00:44.

further than about half a mile from its landing site.

:00:45.:00:49.

Dragons, pirate swords and octopuses!

:00:50.:00:55.

Not what you'd expect to find washed up on the beach when you're

:00:56.:00:59.

But, for people in Cornwall, it's just part of everyday life, because

:01:00.:01:03.

thousands of pieces of Lego have been washing up on the shore and

:01:04.:01:06.

We sent Ayshah to Cornwall to try and solve the mystery.

:01:07.:01:19.

This is Perranporth in Cornwall, one of the many beaches along this

:01:20.:01:36.

Maggie, Charlie, Lily and Laura have been

:01:37.:01:42.

on the search for bits of Lego all summer.

:01:43.:01:44.

These are some of the Lego pieces found on Cornwall's beaches.

:01:45.:01:47.

I found all of them apart from this.

:01:48.:01:58.

How long could it take you to find some of the Lego pieces?

:01:59.:02:01.

But you normally come across them by accident.

:02:02.:02:07.

It hasn't just been washing up in the past few weeks,

:02:08.:02:10.

On the 13th of February 1997, a container ship called the Tokyo

:02:11.:02:20.

Express left Rotterdam for New York in America.

:02:21.:02:22.

When the boat was 20 miles of Land's End at the tip of Cornwall, it was

:02:23.:02:27.

hit by a freak wave and tilted 60 degrees one way and 40 degrees back.

:02:28.:02:31.

As a result, 62 containers fell overboard, one was carrying 5

:02:32.:02:34.

Rob is a marine biologist and studies the movement

:02:35.:02:39.

It was during a storm, it would be mixed up

:02:40.:02:46.

Some of it will have washed onto the beach but some will stay

:02:47.:02:54.

A huge ocean current goes around the UK, which will take them

:02:55.:03:02.

It is fun to fine Lego on the beach but can pose

:03:03.:03:08.

a risk to wildlife, especially sea birds because it is dangerous.

:03:09.:03:11.

I haven't found any yet but there is still time before it is dark.

:03:12.:03:15.

Commonwealth Games now, and Team Scotland are having their

:03:16.:03:28.

Yesterday, they added two more golds to their medal haul of 33,

:03:29.:03:34.

with a win in the bowls for Alex Marshall and Paul Foster.

:03:35.:03:37.

Para-athlete Libby Clegg, who's a visually impaired runner,

:03:38.:03:41.

won the first gold on the athletics track with her guide Mikhail Huggins

:03:42.:03:44.

We run really well, we are happy. The crowd are brilliant. I don't

:03:45.:03:59.

necessarily feel the pressure too much. But it is a bit daunting. I

:04:00.:04:02.

really wanted to win. That wasn't the only success

:04:03.:04:04.

on the track last night, as England's Adam Gemili took silver

:04:05.:04:06.

in the men's 100 metres final. The race was missing favourites

:04:07.:04:09.

Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake, but it was their fellow Jamaican

:04:10.:04:13.

Kemar Bailey-Cole who finished first in 10 seconds, followed by Gemili

:04:14.:04:17.

in second place, to win his first There is so much progression that

:04:18.:04:30.

goes into running ten seconds, it is not as easy as people think. I have

:04:31.:04:34.

a great team behind me. I can't believe it, my first time

:04:35.:04:36.

representing England, I am so happy. In the pool, it was the first gold

:04:37.:04:40.

medal for Wales as Jazz Carlin won The 23-year-old from Swansea is

:04:41.:04:43.

the first Welsh woman to win gold in the pool in 40 years, and now has

:04:44.:04:47.

a complete set of Commonwealth Games medals, having won silver

:04:48.:04:51.

and bronze in Delhi in 2010. It's the greeting favoured

:04:52.:04:55.

by sporting stars around the world, Now, fist-bumping might be

:04:56.:04:57.

about to get even more popular. Researchers at

:04:58.:05:07.

Aberystwyth University, who used rubber gloves covered in bacteria to

:05:08.:05:09.

test different greetings, discovered a traditional handshake is the most

:05:10.:05:11.

unhygenic way to say hello. It passes on 90% more

:05:12.:05:14.

germs than fist bumping. When you shake hands with someone

:05:15.:05:22.

else, you expose a greater surface area, more is exposed to

:05:23.:05:29.

the other person and a larger number We're hoping as a result

:05:30.:05:32.

of these experiements people will see handshakes can transfer

:05:33.:05:36.

a lot of bacteria, and it might start to become more

:05:37.:05:38.

socially acceptable for a high five That got us thinking

:05:39.:05:44.

about different kinds of greetings, Well, that's how we roll,

:05:45.:05:49.

but we want your efforts! Head to the website now,
