Dance Groups

This video is crazy: click here

Diversity is an all boys street dance group from England.

They are called Diversity because they are very diverse. For example, they have two little kids in their group. They auditioned for BGT (Britains Got Talent) in 2009 and proceeded to win the competition thanks to group leader Ashley's amazing direction and choreography. The final performance is amazing.

Next comes the Jabbawockeez.

The Jabbawockeez won the 1st season of ABDC (America's Best Dance Group) and are considered one of the best dance groups in the world. Here is one of their performances.

See how they compare to Diversity.

Another related dance group is a group of college students who... well i won't give it away- watch the video

A History of Stuffing

Happy Thanksgiving. Apparently, it isn't known when Stuffing was first made, but the first writing of it is Apicius' "De Re Coquinaria." It was known as "Farce" in the Middle Ages, the term "stuffing" first appearing in 1538.

Thanksgiving and Food

The traditional stuffed turkey adorns every dinner table during the feast. Pumpkin pie, Cranberry sauce, Corns are some of the dishes cooked everywhere to mark the day. Though historians don't have an evidence to prove that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving dinner, but the thanksgiving celebration will be incomplete without it. - http://www.thanksgiving-day.org/thanksgiving-day-tradition.html
