633 Divers Clean 1.5 Tons Of Trash Off Florida Beach, Breaking Guinness World Record

Volunteer divers just pulled 3200 pounds of garbage off the ocean floor of Florida’s Deerfield Beach. Imagine if we had cleanup efforts like this all over the world!
The waters around Deerfield Beach International Fishing Pier are a lot cleaner after 633 divers spent just two hours scouring the ocean floor for garbage.
All together they removed an estimated 3200 pounds – more than one and a half tons – of trash.
That included 1,600 pounds of lead fishing weights and 60 pounds of fishing line, diver RJ Harper told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The rest still needs to be sorted and weighed.
It was the 15th cleanup of its kind on this beach, but the first time it had set a record.
Last year’s annual cleanup removed 1,000 pounds of lead weights, 161 pounds of fishing line, 104 pounds of metal, 52 pounds of wood, and 102 pounds of miscellaneous debris, totalling more than 1,400 pounds
The previous world record was set by 614 divers cleaning up trash from the floor of the Red Sea in Egypt.

Here's why the theory that Taylor Swift is a Illuminauti satanist clone absolutely checks out ;)

See, Swift's uncanny resemblance to Zeena Schreck, former high priestess of the church of Satan, has been common knowledge on the internet for a while now. Rumors of a deeper connection have reached a fever pitch recently, based in part on the airtight theory that Swift is a clone of Schreck, who is the daughter of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey.   The evidence is hard to shake off.  Schreck and Swift are both best represented by the serpent emoji and have blonde hair. Schreck's dad founded the Church of Satan, while Swift's (surrogate) father is a Merrill Lynch executive who owned a Christmas tree farm.  Obviosuly, the two women have too much in common to ignore, but their connection cannot merely exist on the surface. A close look at their life stories suggests an interwoven plot that all points to the truth — Swift's love for Lucifer is red, burning red.  Schreck was high priestess of the Church of Satan from 1985-1990, which is very...

WHO RECOMMENDS RESCHEDULING CANNABIS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY

Image
he World Health Organization has suggested that cannabis should be downgraded, or "rescheduled," given the mounting evidence showing that the drug could prove beneficial in treating a number of health problems.   This marks a significant change in WHO's position, which for the last 60 years has said that cannabis should not be used in medicine, according to an article in the  BMJ . The WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence has recommended that cannabis resin and other marijuana products should be downgraded from a schedule IV to a schedule I drug under international law. Schedule IV is the strictest category outlined in the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs Treaty, meaning that cannabis is currently treated in the same way as heroin, severely restricting scientists who want to investigate the plant in the search for potential therapies. The committee also recommended that THC—the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis—should be designated as ...
