Australia's Tourism Queensland is getting a lot of attention saying they have the best job in the world. All you have to do is explore the island to see whats there and then inform others weekly of what you find, clean the pool, feed fish, and collect mail. Very little to do, and with it you're getting a free house and a salary of about $100,000. Australia has always been my favorite place in the world. I can't imagine how fun it would be to live by the Great Barrier Reef and get paid a very nice pay check. A 60 second video of why you should get the job and it could be yours. Sounds like a pretty awesome job to me!

Blistering cold temperatures hit Midwest
The past couple days temperatures dropped extremely in the Midwest especially Minnesota. Today the temperature dropped to about -50 degrees breaking many records in many years. One man has died from sleepwalking and ending up outside a short 190 feet from his house the next morning. Many people are also suffering frostbite from being outside for not even 20 minutes. All over the Midwest this week temperatures are dropping way below zero and aren't forecasted to be heating up soon. I think how cold temperatures are getting recently is insane. Walking from the parking lot into school i'm already freezing and that's only a couple hundred feet.
