Wet Wet fun Down Under

WaterballoonsCrazy Fun Aussies

Apparently the launch of the XBOX 360 was big enough to warrant setting a world record for.  No, not in XBOXs sold.  (Well, maybe, but I don’t know that for a fact.)  No.. this was the record for the most water balloons thrown in one event.

“About 50,000 water balloons, the same number of Xbox 360 consoles that have been sold in the country since the launch on March 23, 2006, were thrown by participants. Gamers travelled from as far away as Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States to take part in the event.”

Here is the PressPass article about it.

And here is the Austrailian XBOX site that has pictures of the event.

The weather is just recently warm enough here in Minnesota for water balloons.  (Those frozen ones really hurt!)
