Known for doing his own stunts in movies….it has paid off for Tom
Cruise. And we’re not talking about the money. Tom just earned
a Guinness world record when he completed six jumps out of a
helicopter with his parachute on fire. The most burning parachute
jumps by an individual. In each of his 16 jumps, Cruise was strapped to a parachute that had been soaked in fuel and lit it on fire, before cutting himself free and deploying a backup. In a news release, The editor in chief of Guinness said “Tom doesn’t just play action heroes — he is an action hero!”
- Matt who bet his wife that he could do a hiking challenge carrying an 80lb fridge on his back AFTER his hip replacement surgery. Vicky died recently, but he still kept that bet in her honor, by carrying that fridge 70 miles across a mountain range.
- Then we have a beachgoer who recently found ashes in a bottle with a note that read my mom always wanted to travel the world but passed before she had the chance. Please throw her back in so she can finally get her wish. She’s been thrown back in the sea with another note inside that said “Happy Travels”.
- Did you hear about what happened at Mildred’s Restaurant in Ardmore? The owner gifted one of his long time employees a brand new car, and then gave a $10,000 bonus to split up amongst the rest of the staff.
- And this should make Smores lovers happy……McDonald’s is sent
to release a new Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry. But it’s only
available for a limited time…so gather around a campfire and
enjoy!
