Haha, some US July 4th fireworks were supposed to last 18 minutes, but due to a technical mistake, it lasted 15 seconds (don't put the volume too loud when you watch this):

Very interesting link indeed. I'm like someone from Vietnam, BMI is 96% below the UK average and 82% below the world average!

Not sure I fully believe in BMI though, everyone carries weight differently...

Haha I entered '169' in height instead of 1.69 and I was told: "You have a lower BMI than 100% of females aged 15-29 in the world "
That made me happy
Too bad it was a mistake :(
