My Notes May 2024 Week 1

Kazuhisa Uekusa set the record for most matches lit with plungers attached to the body.

He ignited 73 matches in 60 seconds.

He also stacked five glasses on top of each other, separated with a piece of paper.

Each piece of paper was attached to the pieces of ribbon that were connected to a disc.

He put the disk between his butt cheeks, quickly twisted his body, and the glasses fell perfectly into a stack.

He set the record for most pieces of paper removed from a stack of glasses using the body.

The Monday of the first full week of May is Great Lakes Awareness Day.

The lakes’ names are Huron, Ontaria, Michigan, Erie, and Superior (HOMES).

Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are technically one lake since they are connected by a waterway.

Ships can travel to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawarence River and several locks.

Boats can also reach the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Mississippi River.

“The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald” is a song about the sinking of the largest ship in the lakes.

“Running on fumes” means “to have very little energy.”

I exercised for two hours and didn’t eat breakfast, so I am running on fumes now.

“Get out of hand” means “to lose control of something.”

Over 100 people came to the party, and it quickly got out of hand.
