Underwater Down Under



Everyone is somewhat intrigued as they are fumbling through the most recent version of the Guinness Book of World Records. From the disgusting to confusing to fascinating, the amazing records make us think and laugh. Like any other country, Australia has had their fair share of world records. One that was the most interesting to me was that Australia holds the record for the largest underwater dance class held with 74 participants (divers) and a simultaneous dance lasting at least ten minutes. What's the coolest part of this exciting record? It was for a charity! There is nothing more entertaining than a record breaking Australian underwater dance class to raise some money for charity.
On a more serious note, recently I checked my AOL news to find a shocking article (http://news.aol.com/article/australia-wildfires/333038). Today, about 173 people were found killed by Australia's worst wildfire. Now, 5,000 are left homeless and many struggled just to stay alive. They are still trying to determine to cause of these rapid and destructive fires (anything from arson to global warming). All we can do now is pray and hope that the people affected by these fires are okay and finding help.
