Selfies have killed more people than shark attacks in 2015

Our vanity’s being taken to an entirely different and dangerous level. Mashable released a story claiming there have been more selfie-related deaths than shark attacks so far in 2015. Twelve people already died while attempting to take selfies and eight have passed away following a shark attack. Although Digital Trends got in touch with George Burgess, director of shark research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and he said the number of shark attack-related deaths are at six. This means selfies are twice as dangerous then. Selfies are all fun and good but please, if you think you’re attempting something to risky, let’s just save that vanity for another time.

Review: Forza Motorport 6 

By Sonya & Jacob Davidson

The newest member of the Forza Motorsport Series is Forza 6 (released on September 15, 2015) and, according to my 15 year old son who's a BIG fan of racing games, is by far the best and most realistic game in the series created by Turn 10 Studios. 

Forza 6 is the most challenging of the series. If you love cars and you love racing this is an amazing game. There are more than 450 cars in this game and 26 tracks from all around the world including Rio, Yas Marina, and Brands Hatch just to name a few. This game is not just for already existing fans of the Forza series, it's great for those who have never experienced Forza before.
