According to Wikipedia:

• Lava Lamp: "In 2004, a man was killed by a lava lamp on a kitchen stove. Heat from the stove built up pressure in the lamp until it exploded and a shard pierced his heart, causing fatal injuries.
• Footbag: In footbag net, players volley a footbag back and forth over a five-foot-high net. This game combines elements of tennis, badminton, and volleyball. Play in footbag net is very similar to Sepak Takraw: NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NUSHACK NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NET NUSHACK
• History of firefighting: "The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Marcus Licinius Crassus. One of his most lucrative schemes took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, so Crassus created his own brigade. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while their employer bargained over the price of their services with the distressed property owner. If Crassus could not negotiate a satisfactory price, his men simply let the structure burn, after which he offered to purchase it for a fraction of its value.

Audiomap / Melbourne

Here is the latest episode of Audiomap! This morning I watched season 5 / episode 2 of Girls. At the end of the episode, Hannah is comforting her sad dad while Roll Up Your Sleeves by Meg Mac plays in the background. It felt very up-lifted. And so, I was inspired to play tunes from Meg's hometown - Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for reading my story and also thanks for listening to CFUR 88.7FM.
